# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Glad Evangel

THE GLAD EVANGEL
KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN
When the Child of Nazareth was born, the sun, according to the Bosnian legend, "leaped in the heavens, and the stars around it danced. A peace came over mountain and forest. Even the rotten stump stood straight and healthy on the green hill-side. The grass was beflowered with open blossoms, incense sweet as myrrh pervaded upland and forest, birds sang on the mountain top, and all gave thanks to the great God."
It is naught but an old folk-tale, but it has truth hidden at its heart, for a strange, subtle force, a spirit of genial good-will, a new-born kindness, seem to animate child and man alike when the world pays its tribute to the "heaven-sent youngling," as the poet Drummond calls the infant Christ.
When the Three Wise Men rode from the East into the West on that "first, best Christmas night," they bore on their saddle-bows three caskets filled with gold and frankincense and myrrh, to be laid at the feet of the manger-cradled babe of Bethlehem. Beginning with ​this old, old journey, the spirit of giving crept into the world's heart. As the Magi came bearing gifts, so do we also; gifts that relieve want, gifts that are sweet and fragrant with friendship, gifts that breathe love, gifts that mean service, gifts inspired still by the star that shone over the City of David nearly two thousand years ago.
Then hang the green coronet of the Christmas-tree with glittering baubles and jewels of flame; heap offerings on its emerald branches; bring the Yule log to the firing; deck the house with holly and mistletoe,
"And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas day in the morning."

Of alle that a man may nevene, That shuld a man do so moche glew As a gode womman that loveth trew.

# Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1918/Sally in our Alley

HENRY CAREY
1693?–1743
OF all the girls that are so smart
There's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
There is no lady in the land
Is half so sweet as Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Her father he makes cabbage-nets,
And through the streets does cry 'em;
Her mother she sells laces long
To such as please to buy 'em
But sure such folks could ne'er beget
So sweet a girl as Sally!
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
When she is by, I leave my work,
I love her so sincerely,
My master comes like any Turk,
And bangs me most severely:
But let him bang his bellyful,
I'll bear it all for Sally,
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Of all the days that 's in the week
I dearly love but one day— And that 's the day that comes betwixt
A Saturday and Monday,
For then I'm drest all in my best
To walk abroad with Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
My master carries me to church,
And often am I blamed
Because I leave him in the lurch
As soon as text is named,
I leave the church in sermon-time
And slink away to Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
When Christmas comes about again,
O, then I shall have money;
I'll hoard it up, and box it all,
I'll give it to my honey:
I would it were ten thousand pound,
I'd give it all to Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
My master and the neighbours all,
Make game of me and Sally,
And, but for her, I'd better be
A slave and row a galley,
But when my seven long years are out,
O, then I'll marry Sally;
O, then we'll wed, and then we'll bed— But not in our alley!
# Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1918/The Fish, the Man, and the Spirit

​599 The Fish, the Man, and the Spirit
TO A FISH
YOU strange, astonished-looking, angle-faced, Dreary-mouthed, gaping wretches of the sea, Gulping salt-water everlastingly, Cold-blooded, though with red your blood be graced, And mute, though dwellers in the roaring waste, And you, all shapes beside, that fishy be,— Some round, some flat, some long, all devilry, Legless, unloving, infamously chaste:— ​LEIGH HUNT
O scaly, slippery, wet, swift, staring wights,
What is't ye do? What life lead? eh, dull goggles?
How do ye vary your vile days and nights? How pass your Sundays? Are ye still but joggles
In ceaseless wash? Still nought but gapes, and bites, And drinks, and stares, diversified with boggles?
A FISH ANSWERS
Amazing monster! that, for aught I know, With the first sight of thee didst make our race For ever stare ' O flat and shocking face,
Grimly divided from the breast below!
Thou that on dry land horribly dost go
With a split body and most ridiculous pace, Prong after prong, disgracer of all grace,
Long-useless-finned, haired, upright, unwct, slow'
breather of unbreathable, sword-sharp air, How canst exist? How bear thyself, thou dry
And dreary sloth? What particle canst share Of the only blessed life, the watery?
1 sometimes see of ye an actual fair
Go by' linked fin by fin' most odiously.
THE FISH TURNS INTO A MAN, AND THEN INTO A SPIRIT, AND AGAIN SPEAKS
Indulge thy smiling scorn, if smiling still, O man ' and loathe, but with a sort of love , For difference must its use by difference prove,
And, in sweet clang, the spheres with music fill.
One of the spirits am I, that at his will
Live in whate'er has life fish, eagle, dove No hate, no pride, beneath nought, nor above,
A visitor of the rounds of God's sweet skill.
Man's life is warm, glad, sad, 'twixt loves and graves,
 Boundless in hope, honoured with pangs austere, Heaven-gazing; and his angel-wings he craves.—  The fish is swift, small-needing, vague yet clear,
A cold, sweet, silver life, wrapped in round waves,
 Quickened with touches of transporting fear.

# Orations of Gregory of Nazianzus/In Defence of His Flight to Pontus

From the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series, published 1893
Oration II: In Defence of His Flight to Pontus, and His Return, After His Ordination to the Priesthood, with an Exposition of the Character of the Priestly Office
* Part I (Sections 2-39)
* Part II (Sections 40-79)
* Part III (Sections 80-117)

### Section 1

I have been defeated, and own my defeat. I subjected myself to the Lord, and prayed unto Him. Let the most blessed David supply my exordium, or rather let Him Who spoke in David, and even now yet speaks through him. For indeed the very best order of beginning every speech and action, is to begin from God, and to end in God. As to the cause, either of my original revolt and cowardice, in which I got me away far off, and remained away from you for a time, which perhaps seemed long to those who missed me; or of the present gentleness and change of mind, in which I have given myself up again to you, men may think and speak in different ways, according to the hatred or love they bear me, on the one side refusing to acquit me of the charges alleged, on the other giving me a hearty welcome. For nothing is so pleasant to men as talking of other people’s business, especially under the influence of affection or hatred, which often almost entirely blinds us to the truth. I will, however, myself, unabashed, set forth the truth, and arbitrate with justice between the two parties, which accuse or gallantly defend us, by, on the one side, accusing myself, on the other, undertaking my own defence.
# Parties (Madison)

Parties.
In every political society parties are unavoidable. A difference of interests, real or supposed, is the most natural and fruitful source of them. The great object should be to combat the evil: 1. By establishing a political equality among all. 2. By withholding unnecessary opportunities from a few to increase the inequality of property by an immoderate, and especially an unmerited, accumulation of riches. 3. By the silent operation of laws which, without violating the rights of property, reduce extreme wealth towards a state of mediocrity, and raise extreme indigence towards a state of comfort. 4. By abstaining from measures which operate differently on different interests, and particularly such as favor one interest at the expense of another. 5. By making one party a check on the other, so far as the existence of parties cannot be prevented nor their views accommodated. If this is not the language of reason, it is that of republicanism.
In all political societies different interests and parties arise out of the nature of things, and the great art of politicians lies in making them checks and balances to each other. Let us, then, increase these natural distinctions, by favoring an inequality of property; and let us add to them artificial distinctions, by establishing kings, and nobles, and plebeians. We shall then have the more checks to oppose to each other; we shall then have the more scales and the more weights to perfect and maintain the equilibrium. This is as little the voice of reason as it is that of republicanism.
From the expediency, in politics, of making natural parties mutual checks on each other, to infer the propriety of creating artificial parties in order to form them into mutual checks, is not less absurd than it would be in ethics to say that new vices ought to be promoted, where they would counteract each other, because this use may be made of existing vices.

# Parting Address From Z.Z. To A.E.

O weep not, love! each tear that springs In those dear eyes of thine, To me a keener suffering brings Than if they flowed from mine. And do not droop! however drear The fate awaiting thee. For my sake, combat pain and care, And cherish life for me!
I do not fear thy love will fail, Thy faith is true I know; But O! my love! thy strength is frail For such a life of woe.
Were't not for this, I well could trace (Though banished long from thee) Life's rugged path, and boldly face The storms that threaten me.
Fear not for me -­ I've steeled my mind Sorrow and strife to greet, Joy with my love I leave behind, Care with my friends I meet.
A mother's sad reproachful eye, A father's scowling brow ­ But he may frown, and she may sigh; I will not break my vow!
I love my mother, I revere My sire, but doubt not me. Believe that Death alone can tear This faithful heart from thee.

# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Didst Thou Rejoice?

DIDST THOU REJOICE?
DIDST thou rejoice because the day was fair,— Because, in Orient splendor newly dressed, On flowering glebe and bloomless mountain-crest The sun complacent smiled? Ah! didst thou dare The careless rapture of that bird to share Which, soaring toward the dawn from dewy nest, Hailed it with song? From Ocean's treacherous breast Didst borrow the repose mild-mirrored there?
Thou foolish heart! Behold! the light is spent; Rude thunders shake the crags; songs timorous cease; Lo! with what moan and mutinous lament Ocean his pent-up passions doth release! O thou who seekest sure and fixed content, Search in thy soul: there find some source of peace.
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Dream the Great Dream

DREAM THE GREAT DREAM
DREAM the Great Dream, though you should dream—you, only, And friendless follow in the lofty quest. Though the dream lead you to a desert lonely, Or drive you, like the tempest, without rest, Yet, toiling upward to the highest altar, There lay before the gods your gift supreme,— A human heart whose courage did not falter Though distant as Arcturus shone the Gleam.
The Gleam?—Ah, question not if others see it, Who nor the yearning nor the passion share; Grieve not if children of the earth decree it— The earth, itself,—their goddess, only fair! The soul has need of prophet and redeemer: Her outstretched wings against her prisoning bars, She waits for truth; and truth is with the dreamer,— Persistent as the myriad light of stars!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Earth's Mystery

EARTH'S MYSTERY
I LOOKED on Sorrow, tragical and dread; Beheld the anguish in her sunken eyes, Which yearned no longer upward to the skies, As dumbly pleading to be comforted, But bent their blinded vision on the dead: The dead removed—how far!—from human sighs, Lying majestic, as a conqueror lies, Indifferent to tears, so costly shed.
But as I pondered, seeking, soul-oppressed, To read the riddle of a world like this, Where Nature still seems waiting to destroy, I saw immortal Love descend and kiss, With timid wonder, reverent and blest, The quivering eyelids and the lips of Joy!
