# Les Misérables/Volume 3/Book First/Chapter 3

In the evening, thanks to a few sous, which he always finds means to procure, the homuncio enters a theatre. On crossing that magic threshold, he becomes transfigured; he was the street Arab, he becomes the titi.[18] Theatres are a sort of ship turned upside down with the keel in the air. It is in that keel that the titi huddle together. The titi is to the gamin what the moth is to the larva; the same being endowed with wings and soaring. It suffices for him to be there, with his radiance of happiness, with his power of enthusiasm and joy, with his hand-clapping, which resembles a clapping of wings, to confer on that narrow, dark, fetid, sordid, unhealthy, hideous, abominable keel, the name of Paradise.
[18] Chicken: slang allusion to the noise made in calling poultry.
Bestow on an individual the useless and deprive him of the necessary, and you have the gamin.
The gamin is not devoid of literary intuition. His tendency, and we say it with the proper amount of regret, would not constitute classic taste. He is not very academic by nature. Thus, to give an example, the popularity of Mademoiselle Mars among that little audience of stormy children was seasoned with a touch of irony. The gamin called her Mademoiselle Muche--"hide yourself."
This being bawls and scoffs and ridicules and fights, has rags like a baby and tatters like a philosopher, fishes in the sewer, hunts in the cesspool, extracts mirth from foulness, whips up the squares with his wit, grins and bites, whistles and sings, shouts, and shrieks, tempers Alleluia with Matantur-lurette, chants every rhythm from the De Profundis to the Jack-pudding, finds without seeking, knows what he is ignorant of, is a Spartan to the point of thieving, is mad to wisdom, is lyrical to filth, would crouch down on Olympus, wallows in the dunghill and emerges from it covered with stars. The gamin of Paris is Rabelais in this youth.
He is not content with his trousers unless they have a watch-pocket.
He is not easily astonished, he is still less easily terrified, he makes songs on superstitions, he takes the wind out of exaggerations, he twits mysteries, he thrusts out his tongue at ghosts, he takes the poetry out of stilted things, he introduces caricature into epic extravaganzas. It is not that he is prosaic; far from that; but he replaces the solemn vision by the farcical phantasmagoria. If Adamastor were to appear to him, the street Arab would say: "Hi there! The bugaboo!"
# Les Misérables/Volume 3/Book First/Chapter 4

Paris begins with the lounger and ends with the street Arab, two beings of which no other city is capable; the passive acceptance, which contents itself with gazing, and the inexhaustible initiative; Prudhomme and Fouillou. Paris alone has this in its natural history. The whole of the monarchy is contained in the lounger; the whole of anarchy in the gamin.
This pale child of the Parisian faubourgs lives and develops, makes connections, "grows supple" in suffering, in the presence of social realities and of human things, a thoughtful witness. He thinks himself heedless; and he is not. He looks and is on the verge of laughter; he is on the verge of something else also. Whoever you may be, if your name is Prejudice, Abuse, Ignorance, Oppression, Iniquity, Despotism, Injustice, Fanaticism, Tyranny, beware of the gaping gamin.
The little fellow will grow up.
Of what clay is he made? Of the first mud that comes to hand. A handful of dirt, a breath, and behold Adam. It suffices for a God to pass by. A God has always passed over the street Arab. Fortune labors at this tiny being. By the word "fortune" we mean chance, to some extent. That pigmy kneaded out of common earth, ignorant, unlettered, giddy, vulgar, low. Will that become an Ionian or a Boeotian? Wait, currit rota, the Spirit of Paris, that demon which creates the children of chance and the men of destiny, reversing the process of the Latin potter, makes of a jug an amphora.
# Letter to B. K. Dutt's sister

Central jail Lahore
Dear Sister,
Yesterday Battu himself wrote a letter informing you not to come here till you receive his letter. Battu was transferred yesternight to some other jail. Upto this time we are quite in dark about his destination. Anyhow I would earnestly request you not to leave Banaras for Lahore unless you received his letter. His separation is unbearable for me too. It is only today that I feel quite perplexed and every moment has ​become a burden. Really it is very hard to be separated with a friend more dear than my brothers. Any how we must bear all patiently. I will request you to keep courage. Don't to stress. Something good will come out of it all. Yours Bhagat Singh

# Letter to Arthur Brentano

William Lyon Mackenzie King sent this letter to Arthur Brentano about a photograph depicting Brentano which King had received. King uses the letter to offer support to Brentano during the latter's difficult times.
* LAURIER HOUSE,
* OTTAWA.
* December 22, 1933.
* Dear Mr. Brentano:
* I have just received the photograph of yourself which you have to kindly sent to me. It is an excellent likeness and I am more than proud to be the possessor of it. I can think of no more appropriate photograph to have in the library than that of one who, perhaps more than any other living person, has helped make libraries, especially those of North America, what they are. Apart from this, I cherish such a pleasant remembrance of your kindly spirit and charming personality that I am indeed delighted to have your photograph to place with a ew others I have of very deeply valued friends. I thank you very warmly for this gift, the pleasure of which has been enhanced through its coming to me at the Christmas Season.
* As I said to you at the time of our conversation together, I was not a little distressed when I learned of the ill-fortune which had overtaken your firm. That, however, will appear in the perspective of history as a part of the inevitable outcome of these years of depression. The fine arts are the first to suffer in times like the present. I am glad that you continue to be the president of the new corporation. Indeed, it would be meaningless without your presence, and I much hope that, among the good things which the New Year has in store for you, may be a part ownership of the business regained at an early date. Meanwhile, I think all the book lovers will continue to rejoice at seeing you, continue at the head of the business and will join with me in extending to you the warmest of greeting at this Christmas Season and the best of wishes for the New Year.
* With kindest personal regards,
* Believe me,
* Yours very sincerely,
* Mackenzie King

# Letter to Aylmer Maude

Dear friend Maude,
Of course I much regret that you and Tchertkof have not come to agreement about translating and publishing, but I am distressed most of all that such people as you and he, both living not for your personal ends but to accomplish the work we are sent to do, have not found the common principle which would unite you on the present question. The considerations which you advance against the Free Age Press, and in favour of copyright, are just; but so is the consideration that the manner of publishing should accord with the bases which are preached in the editions. And I think that the latter argument is more important than the former. I think that if you do not agree to that, then your and your wife's beautiful translations of works that have been already published in bad translations, deserve to find a publisher. If not, still what you have in view to do is very pleasant to me.
My relation to that business is this; Tchertkof has spent, and continues to spend, so much loving work on the correct reproduction and dissemination of my thoughts, which he fully and very sensitively understands, that I can only rejoice at having such an intermediary between myself and my readers. And the chief thing for me is, that after all the labour he has spent, I cannot disappoint his expectations and, instead of aiding him, hinder his work. My help in his work is limited to the fact that all my new writings (if there are any more) I issue first of all through him, letting everybody, if they care to, make use of them afterwards as they please.
I am very sorry that I and Tchertkof should lose your and your wife's help, which is very valuable - both on account of your knowledge of the languages, your conscientious work, and the unity of our understanding of life; but what most of all grieves me is that perhaps I, by my inaccuracy and alterations, have been the cause of the dislike you have taken to this work. Please forgive me for that. Above all, do not attribute importance to this affair, and do not let dead business impair living intercourse with living people. I press your and your wife's hands in friendship.
# Letter to Amy Lowell on the Biographical Article of Augustus Lowell

August 30, 1901 letter regarding Amy's criticism of Percival's article Augustus Lowell that he published that year.
       Flagstaff,
       Aug. 30, 01
Dear Amy, Thank you for your appreciative letter on the memoir of Father. I am very much pleased that you like it, and are so kind to its virtues and blind to its faults. To the points to which you object, I have given my attention and hope the result may meet with your approval. I quite agree with what I conceive to form the basis of your distaste to the dream - the impression that Father was idle in college and regretted it afterwards. Such an idea I did not intend to convey and I have accordingly modified the story with that point in view. Properly presented I think the dream decidingly worth preservation and should be very sorry to throw it overboard. For it is a distinctly interesting and valuable bit of psychology. Think over my explanation of what a dream is and see if you do not come to the same conclusion. I am naturally fond of my own child but I do not think myself blind to it nevertheless. It is the presentation at which you shy, unconsciously, for almost anything can be put commendingly if discreetly put. Furthermore you will tame it to insipidity if you cut out the stories. I only wish I had more not less. Read Darwin's or Huxley's autobiography and mark, as you will, that it is the very things which as a relation you would suppress which most interest the reader. Darwin's questionable morality as a boy for instance. Because such incidents are human and so appeal to man. A faultless statue stirs no one who is not superlatively gifted with imagination. At all events read the pages I send herewith and see if your aversion be not a little mitigated. Your 'fundamental' was an excellent criticism and I have substituted 'deep-seated' to the great improvement of the sound. Lastly your suggestion of a paragraph added to touch on Father's thought and kindness for others was most judicious and I have instantly followed it.
...In conclusion let me add how well 'Miss Postscript' writes and how much her appreciation is appreciated her 'Stepbrother', alias,
    Percival
# Letter to B. K. Dutt

November, 1930
Central Jail, November, 1930
DEAR BROTHER,
The judgment has been delivered. I am condemned to death. In these cells, besides myself, there are many others prisoners who are waiting to be hanged. The only prayer of these people is that somehow or other they may escape the noose. Perhaps I am the only man amongst them who is anxiously waiting for the day when I will be fortunate enough to embrace the gallows for my ideal.
I will climb the gallows gladly and show to the world as to how bravely the revolutionaries can sacrifice themselves for the cause.
I will condemned to death, but you are sentenced to transportation for life. You will live and, while living, you will have to show to the world that the revolutionaries not only die for their ideals but can face every calamity. Death should not be a means to escape the worldly difficulties. Those revolutionaries who have by chance escaped the gallows for the ideal but also bear the worst type o tortures in the dark dingy prison cells.
Yours Bhagat Singh

# Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things/Ubazakura

Three hundred years ago, in the village called Asamimura, in the district called Onsengōri, in the province of Iyō, there lived a good man named Tokubei. This Tokubei was the richest person in the district, and the muraosa, or headman, of the village. In most matters he was fortunate; but he reached the age of forty without knowing the happiness of becoming a father. Therefore he and his wife, in the affliction of their childlessness, addressed many prayers to the divinity Fudō Myō Ō, who had a famous temple, called Saihōji, in Asamimura.
At last their prayers were heard: the ​ wife of Tokubei gave birth to a daughter. The child was very pretty; and she received the name of Tsuyu. As the mother's milk was deficient, a milk-nurse, called O-Sodé, was hired for the little one.
O-Tsuyu grew up to be a very beautiful girl; but at the age of fifteen she fell sick, and the doctors thought that she was going to die. In that time the nurse O-Sodé, who loved O-Tsuyu with a real mother's love, went to the temple Saihōji, and fervently prayed to Fudō-Sama on behalf of the girl. Every day, for twenty-one days, she went to the temple and prayed; and at the end of that time, O-Tsuyu suddenly and completely recovered.
Then there was great rejoicing in the house of Tokubei; and he gave a feast to all his friends in celebration of the happy event. But on the night of the feast the nurse O-Sodé was suddenly taken ill; and on the following morning, the doctor, who had been summoned to attend her, announced that she was dying.
Then the family, in great sorrow, gathered about her bed, to bid her farewell. But she said to them:—
"It is time that I should tell you something which you do not know. My prayer has been heard. I besought Fudō-Sama that I ​might be permitted to die in the place of O-Tsuyu; and this great favor has been granted me. Therefore you must not grieve about my death. . . . But I have one request to make. I promised Fudō-Sama that I would have a cherry-tree planted in the garden of Saihōji, for a thank-offering and a commemoration. Now I shall not be able myself to plant the tree there: so I must beg that you will fulfill that vow for me. . . . Good-bye, dear friends; and remember that I was happy to die for O-Tsuyu’s sake.”
After the funeral of O-Sodé, a young cherry-tree, — the finest that could be found, — was planted in the garden of Saihōji by the parents of O-Tsuyu. The tree grew and flourished ; and on the sixteenth day of the second month of the following year, — the anniversary of O-Sodé’s death, — it blossomed in a wonderful way. So it continued to blossom for two hundred and fifty-four years, — always upon the sixteenth day of the second month ;— and its flowers, pink and white, were like the nipples of a woman’s breasts, bedewed with milk. And the people called it Ubazakura, the Cherry-tree of the Milk-Nurse.
