# Clarel/Part 3/Canto 3
## 3. Of the Many Mansions

"The Elysium of the Greek was given By haughty bards, a hero-heaven; No victim looked for solace there: The marble gate disowned the plea-- Ye heavy laden, come to me. 5 Nor Fortune's Isles, nor Tempe's dale Nor Araby the Blest did bear A saving balm--might not avail To lull one pang, one lot repair. Dreams, narrow dreams; nor of a kind 10 Showing inventiveness of mind Beyond our earth. But oh! 'twas rare, In world like this, the world we know (Sole know, and reason from) to dare To pledge indemnifying good 15 In worlds not known; boldly avow, Against experience, the brood Of Christlan hopes."  So Rolfe, and sat Clouded. But, changing, up he gat: 20 "Whence sprang the vision? They who freeze, On earth here, under want or wrong; The Sermon on the Mount shall these Find verified? is love so strong? Or bounds are hers, that Python mars 25 Your gentler influence, ye stars? If so, how seem they given o'er To worse than Circe's fooling spell; Enslaved, degraded, tractable To each mean atheist's crafty power. 30 So winning in enthusiast plea, Here may the Gospel but the more
Operate like a perfidy?"  "So worldlings deem," the Swede in glow; "Much so they deem; or, if not so, 35 Hereon they act. But what said he, The Jew whose feet the blisters know, To Christ as sore He trailed the Tree Toward Golgotha: 'Ha, is it Thou, The king, the god? Well then, be strong: 40 No royal steed with galls is wrung: That's for the hack.' There he but hurled The scoff of Nature and the World, Those monstrous twins. " It jarred the nerve Of Derwent, but he masked the thrill. 45 For Vine, he kindled, sitting still; Respected he the Swede's wild will As did the Swede Vine's ruled reserve.  Mortmain went on: "We've touched a theme From which the club and Iyceum swerve, 50 Nor Herr von Goethe would esteem; And yet of such compulsive worth, It dragged a god here down to earth, As some account. And, truth to say, Religion ofttimes, one may deem, 55 Is man's appeal from fellow-clay: Thibetan faith implies the extreme-- That death emancipates the good,
Absorbs them into deity, Dropping the wicked into bestialhood." 60
 With that for text to revery due, In lifted waste, on ashy ground LikeJob's pale group, without a sound They sat. But hark! what strains ensue Voiced from the crags above their view? 65
# Clarel/Part 3/Canto 31
## 31. The Recoil

"But who was SHE (if Luke attest) Whom generations hail for blest-- Immaculate though human one; What diademed and starry Nun-- Bearing in English old the name 5 And hallowed style of HOLIDAME; She, She, the Mater of the Rood-- Sprang she from Ruth's young sisterhood?"
 On cliffin moonlight roaming out So Clarel, thrilled by deep dissent, 10 Revulsion from injected doubt And many a strange presentiment.  But came ere long profound relapse: The Rhyme recurred, made voids or gaps In dear relations; while anew, 15 From chambers of his mind's review Emerged the saint, who with the Palm Shared heaven on earth in gracious calm, Even as his robe partook the hue.  And needs from that high mentor part? 20 Is strength too strong to teach the weak? Though tame the life seem, turn the cheek, Does the call elect the hero-heart?-- The thunder smites our tropic bloom: If live the abodes unvexed and balmy-- 25 No equinox with annual doom; If Eden's wafted from the plume Of shining Raphael, Michael palmy; If these in more than fable be,
With natures variously divine-- 30 Through all their ranks they are masculine; Else how the power with purity? Or in yon worlds of light is known The clear intelligence alone? Express the Founder's words declare, 35 Marrying none is in the heaven; Yet love in heaven itself to sparc Love feminine! Can Eve be riven From sex, and disengaged retain Its charm? Think this--then may ye feign 40 The perfumed rose shall keep its bloom, Cut off from sustenance of loam. But if Eve's charm be not supernal, Enduring not divine transplanting-- Love kindled thence, is that eternal? 45 Here, here's the hollow--here the haunting! Ah, love, ah wherefore thus unsure? Linked art thou--locked, with Self impure? Yearnings benign the angels know, Saint Francis and Saint John have felt: 50 Good-will--desires that overflow, And reaching far as life is dealt. That other love!--Oh heavy load-- Is naught then trustworthy but God?
 On more hereof, derived in frame 55 From the eremite's Thebaean flame, Mused Clarel, taking self to task, Nor might determined thought reclaim: But, the waste invoking, this did ask: "Truth, truth cherubic! claim'st thou worth 60 Foreign to time and hearts which dwell Helots of habit old as earth Suspended 'twixt the heaven and hell?"  But turn thee, rest the burden there; To-morrow new deserts must thou share. 65
# Clarel/Part 3/Canto 7
## 7. Bell and Cairn

"ELOI LAMA SABACHTHANI!" And, swooning, strove no more.  Nor gone For every heart, whate'er they say, The eclipse that cry of cries brought down, 5 And clamors through the darkness blown. More wide for some it spreads in sway, Involves the lily of the Easter Day.
 A chance word of the Swede in placc-- Allusion to the anguished face, 10 Recalled to Clarel now the cry, The ghost's reproachful litany. Disturbed then, he apart would go; And passed among the crags; and there, Like David in Adullam's lair-- 15 Could it be Vine, and quivering so?
'Twas Vine. He wore that nameless look About the mouth--so hard to brook-- Which in the Cenci portrait shows, Lost in each copy, oil or print; 20 Lost, or else slurred, as 'twere a hint Which if received, few might sustain: A trembling over of small throes In weak swoll'n lips, which to restrain DeSire iS none, nor any rein. 25  Clarel recalled the garden's shade, And Vine therein, with all that made The estrangement in Gethsemane. Reserves laid bare? and can it be? The dock-yard forge's silent mound, 30 Played over by small nimble flame-- Raked open, lo, the anchor's found In white-heat's alb.  With shrinking frame, Grateful that he was unespied, 35 Clarel quite noiseless slipped aside: Ill hour (thought he), an evil sign: No more need dream of winning Vine Or coming at his mystery. O, lives which languish in the shade, 40 Puzzle and tease us, or upbraid; What noteless confidant, may be,
Withholds the talisman, the key! Or if indeed it run not so, And he's above me where I cling; 45 Then how these higher natures know Except in shadow from the wing.--
 Hark! as in benison to all, Borne on waste air in wasteful clime, What swell on swell of mellowing chime, 50 Which every drooping pilgrim rallies; How much unlike that ominous call Pealed in the blast from Roncesvalles! Was more than silver in this shell By distance toned. What festival? 55 What feast? of Adam's kind, or fay? Hark--no, not yet it dies away.  Where the sexton of the vaulted seas Buries the drowned in weedy grave, While tolls the buoy-bell down the breeze; 60 There, off the shoals of rainy wave Outside the channel which they crave, The sailors lost in shrouding mist, Unto that muffled knelling list, The more because for fogged remove 65 The floating belfry none may prove; So, yet with difference, do these Attend.  "Chimes, chimes? but whence? thou breeze;" Here Derwent; "convent none is near." 70  "Ay," said the Druze, "but quick's the ear In deep hush of the desert wide."  "'Tis Saba calling; yea," Rolfe cried, "Saba, Mar Saba summons us: O, hither, pilgrims, turn to me, 75 Escape the desert perilous; Here's refuge, hither unto me!"
 A lateral lodgment won, they wheeled, And toward the abandoned ledge they glanced: Near, in the high void waste advanced, 80 They saw, in turn abrupt revealed, An object reared aloof by Vine In whim of silence, when debate Was held upon the cliff but late And ended where all words decline: 85 A heap of stones in arid state.
 The cairn (thought Clarel), meant he--yes, A monument to barrenness?

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Imitation of Christ

From volume 7 of the work.
A work of spiritual devotion, also sometimes called the "Following of Christ". Its purpose is to instruct the soul in Christian perfection with Christ as the Divine Model. It consists of a series of counsels of perfection written in Latin in a familiar and even colloquial style, and is divided into four parts or books:
* Useful admonitions for a spiritual life,
* Admonitions concerning spiritual things;
* Of interior consolation;
* Of the Blessed Sacrament.
With the exception of the Bible, it is perhaps the most widely read spiritual book in the world. It was first published anonymously in A.D. 1418. Its authorship has been disputed, being attributed to various spiritual writers: St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, Innocent III, Henry of Kalkar, John à Kempis, Walter Hilton, Jean Charlier de Gerson, and Giovanni Gersen. The claim of Thomas à Kempis has been completely vindicated in recent years. For details as regards the authorship and the nature of the work itself see THOMAS À KEMPIS.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Abu-Simbel

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ABU-SIMBEL, the ancient Aboccis or Abuncis, a place of ruins in Upper Egypt, between the first and second cataract, having two temples built by Ramses the Great in 1388 and 1392, one for himself and one for the god Hathor. They lie a short distance apart, at the foot of a precipitous cliff close to the west bank of the Nile. No temple in Egypt produces so grand an effect as the rock temple of Ramses II., and by moonlight its effect is even finer. Its dignified sculptures and the gorgeous colored representations in its interior repay the trouble of the ascent from Philae. This most stupendous work of ancient Egyptian architecture was the creation of Ramses II. It was excavated out of the solid rock and dedicated at first to the leading deities of Egypt proper, Amnion of Thebes and Re-Harmakhis, but other deities were worshipped there as well. In 1892 the façade 119 feet broad and over 100 feet wide, was restored and two walls had to be built to protect it from the sand which blew into it from the west desert.

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ABSTRACT OF TITLE, an evidence of ownership in the conveyance of property. It aims in abbreviated form to trace as far back as possible or desirable the history of the property, the names of its successive owners and ihe dates of various transfers. In England, it is customary for the vendor to furnish abstract together with the deed, and this is frequently done in the United States. The practice in this country, however, is becoming less and less common, because of the work done by title companies, who, having assured themselves of the validity and marketability of the title, guarantee the buyer against loss up to the amount of his purchase.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Geronimo Mercuriali

From volume 10 of the work.
Better known by his Latin name Mercurialis, famous philologist and physician, b. at Forli, 30 September, 1530; d. there, 13 November, 1606. His preliminary studies and some of his medical courses were taken at Bologna, but he received his degree at Padua and then settled down to practice in Forli. He was sent by his townfolk on a political mission to Paul IV and made such good friends at Rome that he was persuaded to take up his residence there. He studied the old classic medical writers for some seven years and then wrote is "De arte gymnastica", in which he gathered all that the ancients had taught with regard to the use of natural methods for the cure of disease. This gave him a great reputation throughout Europe. Appreciation of it by the Venetian senators led to his call to the chair of medicine of Padua in 1569. Here he devoted himself to the critical study of the works of Hippocrates. His exhaustive monograph, "Censura e dispositio operum Hippocratis" (Venice, 1583), enhanced his reputation and he began the preparation of a critical study of Hippocrates' works in Greek and Latin, which was published at Venice, 1588. In the meantime his reputation had gone abroad, and in 1573 he was called to Vienna for consultation during the illness of Emperor Maximilian. The emperor was so pleased with his service that he made him Count Palatine. After the publication of further works on the medical classics, he was called in 1587 to the chair of medicine in Bologna. The Grand Duke of Tuscany was sparing no effort to increase the prestige of the University of Pisa, so he tempted Mercurialis to accept the chair of medicine there by the offer of a salary probably the largest ever paid to a professor up to this time, 1800 gold crowns to become 2000 crowns after the second year. He remained at Pisa till his seventy-fifth year when he retired to Forli. His great merit is his critical study of the ancient medical classics, especially Hippocrates and his disciples. He wrote many other medical works including text books of the diseases of children, of women, of the skin, and on practical medicine; all of which were widely read and used in many of the medical schools of his time.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Gerrha

From volume 6 of the work.
A titular see in the province of Augustamnica Prima, suffragan of Pelusium in the Patriarchate of Alexandria. The city is mentioned by Pliny (Hist. Nat., VI, 29). Erastosthenes (46, 10) asserts that the district was formerly under water. Strabo (XVI, 2, 33) places Gerrha between Pelusium and Mt. Cassius. Finally, in the sixth century the geographer Hierocles (Synecdemus, n. 698) speaks of it as being in Augustamnica. Lequien (Oriens christ., II, 551) makes known the names of four bishops of the see: Eudaemon, Pirosus, and Nilanmon, at the end of the fourth century, and at the beginning of the fifth; Stephen, who in 451 assisted at the Council of Chalcedon. Marshes have encroached upon the land in modern times; the abandoned city is found north of Pelusium on the road to El-Arish.
