In 1830 he was elected a representative to the 22d Congress, and made himself notorious in that body and elsewhere by a very personal speech in which he denounced Senator Houston and Maj. M. A. Heard. The latter, who was present, attacked Mr. Arnold when leaving the capitol in company with over two hundred members, and though armed with a horse-pistol and a cane, both of which he used vigorously. Heard was decidedly worsted in the struggle, and Arnold carried off the horse-pistol as a trophy. General sympathy seemed to be with Mr. Arnold, and he was presented with a sword cane. He was made brigadier-general of the Tennessee militia in 1836, and was a representative in the 27th congress, 1841-'43. He died May 26, 1870.

# The Book of the Homeless/Children's Kisses

TWO SONGS OF A YEAR
1914-1915
I
CHILDREN'S KISSES
So; it is nightfall then. The valley flush That beckoned home the way for herds and men Is hardly spent: Down the bright pathway winds, through veils of hush And wonderment. Unuttered yet the chime That tells of folding-time; Hardly the sun has set;— The trees are sweetly troubled with bright words From new-alighted birds. And yet,… Here, round my neck, are come to cling and twine, The arms, the folding arms, close, close and fain, All mine!— I pleaded to, in vain, I reached for, only to their dimpled scorning, Down the blue halls of morning;— Where all things else could lure them on and on, Now here, now gone, From bush to bush, from beckoning bough to bough, With bird-calls of Come Hither!—
Ah, but now… Now it is dusk.—And from his heaven of mirth, ​A wilding skylark sudden dropt to earth
Along the last low sunbeam yellow-moted,—
Athrob with joy—
There pushes here, a little golden Boy,
Still gazing with great eyes:
And wonder-wise,
All fragrancy, all valor silver-throated,
My daughterling, my swan.
My Alison.
Closer than homing lambs against the bars
At folding-time, that crowd, all mother-warm,
They crowd, they cling, they wreathe;—
And thick as sparkles of the thronging stars,
Their kisses swarm.
O Rose of Being at whose heart I breathe.
Fold over, hold me fast
In the dim Eden of a blinding kiss.
And lightning heart's desire, be still at last.
Heart can no more,—
Life can no more
Than this.
# The Book of the Homeless/Cry of the Homeless

CRY OF THE HOMELESS
Instigator of the ruin—
Whichsoever thou mayst be
Of the mastering minds of Europe
That contrived our misery— Hear the wormwood-worded greeting
From each city, shore, and lea
Of thy victims:
"Enemy, all hail to thee!"
Yea: "All hail!" we grimly shout thee
That wast author, fount, and head
Of these wounds, whoever proven
When our times are throughly read.
"May thy dearest ones be blighted
And forsaken," be it said
By thy victims,
"And thy children beg their bread!"
Nay: too much the malediction.—
Rather let this thing befall
In the unfurling of the future,
On the night when comes thy call:
That compassion dew thy pillow
And absorb thy senses all
For thy victims.
Till death dark thee with his pall.

# The Book of the Homeless/Horreur et Beauté

HORREUR ET BEAUTÉ
Sabreur de mains d'enfants qui demandaient du pain.
Brûleur de basilique et de bibliothèque.
Geste obscène, œil sanglant, front d'anthropopithèque,
L'homme ne s'est jamais plus hideusement peint.
Mais Roncevaux n'a rien de plus beau, sous son Pin,.
Rien de plus pur, sous son Laurier, la fable Grecque,
Que ce jeune Monarque et son vieil Archevêque:
C'est Achille et Nestor, c'est Roland et Turpin.
Roi, d'un juste reflux puissions-nous voir la vague!
Et toi, puisque ta main éleva dans sa bague
Le seul reflet de ciel qui bénit cet Enfer,
Que la pourpre sur toi soit plus cardinalice.
Prêtre ! et que de la Croix qui n'était pas de Fer
Un Christ plus abondant coule dans ton calice!
Edmond Rostand
# The Book of the Homeless/Finisterre

FINISTERRE
O that on some forsaken strand,
Lone ending of a lonely land,
On such an eve we two were lying,
To hear the quiet water sighing
And feel the coolness of the sand.
A red and broken moon would grow
Out of the dusk and even so
As here to-night the street she faces,
Between the half-distinguished spaces
Of sea and sky would burn and go.
The moon would go and overhead,
Like tapers lighted o'er the dead.
Star after silver star would glimmer,
The lonely night grow calmer, dimmer,
The quiet sea sink in its bed.
We, at the end of Time and Fate,
Might unconcerned with love or hate
As the sea's voices, talk together.
Wherefore we went apart and whither.
And all the exiled years relate.
Thus were life's grey chance-'ravelled sleave'
Outspread, we something might perceive
Which never would to chance surrender,
But through the tangled woof its slender
Golden, elusive pattern weave.
​Then while the great stars larger shone
Leaned on the sea, and drew thereon
Faint paths of light, across them faring
Might steal the ship that comes for bearing
Sore-wounded souls to Avalon.

# The Book of the Homeless/How the Young Men died in Hellas

HOW THE YOUNG MEN DIED IN HELLAS
A FRAGMENT
[ TRANSLATION ]
Antigone went wailing to the dust.
She reverenced not the face of Death like these
To whom it came as no enfeebling peace
But a command relentless and august.
These grieved not at the beauty of the morn,
Nor that the sun was on the ripening flower;
Smiling they faced the sacrificial hour,
Blithe nightingales against the fatal thorn.
They grieved not that their feet no more should rove
The Athenian porticoes in twilight leisure,
Where Pallas, drunk with summer's gold and azure,
Brooded above the fountains like a dove.
They grieved not for the theatre's high-banked tiers,
Where restlessly the noisy crowd leans over,
With laughter and with jostling, to discover
The blue and green of chaffing charioteers.
​Nor for the fluted shafts, the carven stones
Of that sole city, bright above the seas,
Where young men met to talk with Socrates
Or toss the ivory bones.
Their eyes were lit with tumult and with risk,
But when they felt Death touch their hands and pass
They followed, dropping on the garden grass
The parchment and the disk.
It seemed no wrong to them that they must go.
They laid their lives down as the poet lays
On the white page the poem that shall praise
His memory when the hand that wrote is low.
Erect they stood and, festally arrayed,
Serenely waited the transforming hour,
Softly as Hyacinth slid from youth to flower,
Or the shade of Cyparis to a cypress shade.
They wept not for the lost Ionian days,
Nor liberty, nor household love and laughter,
Nor the long leaden slumber that comes after
Life's little wakefulness.
Fearless they sought the land no sunsets see.
Whence our weak pride shrinks back, and would return,
Knowing a pinch of ashes in an urn
Henceforth our garden and our house shall be.
Young men, my brothers, you whose morning skies
I have seen the deathly lassitude invade, ​Oh, how you suffered! How you were afraid!
What death-damp hands you locked about your eyes!
You, so insatiably athirst to spend
The young desires in your hearts abloom,
How could you think the desert was your doom,
The waterless fountain and the endless end ?
You yearned not for the face of love, grown dim,
But only fought your anguished bones to wrest
From the Black Angel crouched upon your breast,
Who scanned you ere he led you down with him.
Jean Cocteau

# The Book of the Homeless/Horror and Beauty

HORROR AND BEAUTY
[ TRANSLATION ]
Gashed hands of children who cry out for bread—
While as the flames from sacred places rise
The Blonde Beast, hideous, with blood-shot eyes
And obscene gesture mutilates the dead—
But neither Roncesvalles where Roland bled
With Turpin, nor Greek deeds of high emprise
Can to a pitch of purer beauty rise
Than the Young King, the Priest, unconqueréd.
Oh King, soon all thy foes may'st thou repel!
And thou, High-Priest, from whose ring, raised to men,
Shone the one gleam of Heaven in that Hell,
May thy empurpled vestments so avail
That from the Cross—not made of Iron then— A richer Christ glow in thy holy grail.
Edmond Rostand
Translated by Walter V. R. Berry
# The Book of the Homeless/In Sleep

IN SLEEP
I dreamt (no "dream" awake—a dream indeed)
A wrathful man was talking in the Park:
"Where are the Higher Powers who know our need,
Yet leave us in the dark?
"There are no Higher Powers; there is no heart
In God, no love"—his oratory here,
Taking the paupers' and the cripples' part,
Was broken by a tear.
And next it seemed that One who did invent
Compassion, who alone created pity,
Walked, as though called, and hastened as He went
Out from the muttering city;
Threaded the little crowd, trod the brown grass.
Bent o'er the speaker close, saw the tear rise.
And saw Himself, as one looks in a glass,
In those impassioned eyes.

# The Bourgeois Revolution/Introduction

Introduction.
This little brochure was originally printed in Die Neue Zeit, (a Socialist weekly published at Stuttgart, Germany, under the editorship of Karl Kautsky), numbers 4 and 5, Vol. IX, 1890–91. Originally it bore the title: "Wie die Bourgeoisie ihrer Revolution gedenkt," and was reprinted in the WEEKLY PEOPLE, issues of July 31 and August 7, 1926, under the title "How the Bourgeoisie Remembers Its Own Revolution."
It is an excellent sketch of the French Revolution from the viewpoint of the material and economic conflicts between the contending classes. With justifiable scorn George Plechanov holds the great revolution as a mirror before the gaze of the present day bourgeoisie, and riddles the latter's pretences of "respectability" and "law and or​der," He makes clear that revolutions establish their own law and order, recognizing no code of jurisprudence but that which reflects the needs and purpose of the revolution. Incidentally, it reveals the modern proletariat in embryo as a factor in the bourgeois revolution, a factor, however, that served chiefly as a broom in the hands of the bourgeoisie with which to sweep out thoroughly the rubbish left by the collapsed feudal system.
To the reader not familiar with the various political factions a few words as to these may be in order. The Girondists, the Jacobins and the Montagnards reflected certain social and economic layers in society at that time. The Girondists represented the upper (though not uppermost) layers of the bourgeoisie—the well-to-do middle class. The Jacobins represented the petty bourgeoisie and that portion of the as yet unformed proletariat which was not absolutely on "the ragged edge." The Montagnards ("The Mountain") represented that vast number of propertiless proletarians which, however vaguely, sensed the fact that ​they had little or nothing in common with the other groups. Each group played its part on the "stage" until, following chaos and threatening social disintegration, there appeared the "man on horseback," Napoleon Bonaparte, who at the psychologically right moment consolidated the revolution, definitely establishing the capitalist Political State which was to prevail henceforth, all surface changes notwithstanding.
For further reading the following books are recommended:
"The French Revolution," by Bax.
“"Crises in European History," by Bang.
"The Sword of Honor," by Sue.
Few other books on the French Revolution are worth the attention of the busy working class reader, though the more studious will find Carlyle’s dithyrambic work interesting and stimulating, and Krapotkin’s "The Great Revolution" profitable despite its somewhat anarchistic bias.
