# Collected Poems (Robinson)/Clavering

CLAVERING
I say no more for Clavering Than I should say of him who fails To bring his wounded vessel home When reft of rudder and of sails;
I say no more than I should say Of any other one who sees
Too far for guidance of to-day, Too near for the eternities.
I think of him as I should think Of one who for scant wages played, And faintly, a flawed instrument
That fell while it was being made;
I think of him as one who fared, Unfaltering and undeceived,
Amid mirages of renown And urgings of the unachieved;
I think of him as one who gave
To Lingard leave to be amused, And listened with a patient grace
That we, the wise ones, had refused;
I think of metres that he wrote
For Cubit, the ophidian guest:
"What Lilith, or Dark Lady" . . . Well,
Time swallows Cubit with the rest.
I think of last words that he said One midnight over Calverly:
"Good-by—good man." He was not good;
So Clavering was wrong, you see.
I wonder what had come to pass
Could he have borrowed for a spell The fiery-frantic indolence That made a ghost of Leffingwell;
I wonder if he pitied us Who cautioned him till he was gray
To build his house with ours on earth
And have an end of yesterday;
I wonder what it was we saw To make us think that we were strong;
I wonder if he saw too much, Or if he looked one way too long.
But when were thoughts or wonderings
To ferret out the man within?
Why prate of what he seemed to be,
And all that he might not have been?
He clung to phantoms and to friends,
And never came to anything.
He left a wreath on Cubit's grave.
I say no more for Clavering.

EROS TURANNOS
She fears him, and will always ask
What fated her to choose him;
She meets in his engaging mask
All reasons to refuse him;
But what she meets and what she fears
Are less than are the downward years,
Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
Of age, were she to lose him.
Between a blurred sagacity
That once had power to sound him,
And Love, that will not let him be
The Judas that she found him,
Her pride assuages her almost,
As if it were alone the cost.—
He sees that he will not be lost, And waits and looks around him.
A sense of ocean and old trees
Envelops and allures him;
Tradition, touching all he sees,
Beguiles and reassures him;
And all her doubts of what he says
Are dimmed with what she knows of days
Till even prejudice delays
And fades, and she secures him.

An antiquary lights on many a curiosity whilst overhauling the dusty tomes of ancient writers. This little book is a small museum in which I have preserved some of the quaintest relics which have attracted my notice during my labours. The majority of the articles were published in 1869.

Dennison v. Alexander
APPEAL from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
Alexander, on the fifth day of January, 1875, filed his bill in the court below against Dennison and others, commissioners of the District of Columbia, and the First National Bank, to restrain the sale of real estate in the city of Washington which the commissioners had advertised to satisfy the amount due for improvements made by the board of public works. The certificate of indebtedness issued by that board and transferred to the bank, was for less than $400 and more than $100. A perpetual injunction was awarded and an appeal allowed by a justice of this court.
Mr. Albert G. Riddle for the appellant.
Mr. Joseph J. Stewart for the appellee.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
103 U.S. 522
Dennison v. Alexander
We think this case is governed by Railroad Company v. Grant, 98 U.S. 398. In that case we held that the act of Feb. 25, 1879, c. 99, sects. 4, 5 (20 Stat. 320), took away our right to hear and determine cases from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia where the matter in dispute did not exceed $2,500, and that it operated on pending cases which had been brought here under the provisions of sect. 847 of the Revised Statutes relating to the District. This case came here under sect. 848, which provided for the allowance of appeals and writs of error by the justices of this court under certain circumstances, when the matter in dispute was less than $1,000, the then general jurisdictional amount, but exceeded $100. There is no reservation in the repealing act as to this class of pending cases any more than the other. Both sections have reference to the same general subject-matter, that is to say, our review of the judgments and decrees of the Supreme Court of the District in cases where jurisdiction has been made to depend on the value of the matter in dispute. Under the act of 1879 we can no longer hear any of that class of cases, unless the amount exceeds $2,500.
Appeal dismissed, each party to pay his own costs.

Dennison v. United States
This was a petition by the chief supervisor for the Northern district of New York for fees and disbursements connected with the general election of 1890, amounting to $16,612.79, of which $2,752.60 were disallowed by the treasury department; for like fees and disbursements connected with the general election of 1892, amounting to $18,998.94, of which $2,581.75 were disallowed; and also for fees connected with the examination of witnesses to show that certain supervisors, who had been appointed in the city of Troy to attend a congressional election in 1888, had been deterred from discharging their duties by violence, or threats of violence, by disorderly persons. This account amounted to $624.65, of which $402.65 were disallowed.
The petition alleged that all these accounts had been approved and allowed by the district court.
Upon a finding of facts, which do not differ materially from those set up in the petition, the court of claims directed a judgment in favor of the petitioner for $678.10, whereupon petitioner appealed to this court.
R. R. McMahon, for appellant.
Asst. Atty. Gen. Pradt and Felix Branigan, for the United States.
Mr. Justice BROWN, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

    I was encouraged by your reception of information conveyed by Lord Lothian about Dakar. It would be against our joint interests if strong German submarine and aircraft base were established there. It looks as if there might be a stiff fight. Perhaps not but anyhow orders have been given to ram it through. We should be delighted if you would send some American warships to Monrovia, Freetown, and I hope by that time to have Dakar ready for your call. But what really matters now is that you should put it across the French Government that a war declaration would be very bad indeed for them in all that concerns United States. If Vichy declare war that is sane thing as Germany, and Vichy possessions in Western Hemisphere must be considered potentially German Possessions. Many thanks also for your hint about invasion. We are all ready for them. I am very glad to hear about rifles.

​OVI′DIUS JUVENTI′NUS. [Juventinus.]
# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Otho, Salvius 2.

L. SALVIUS OTHO, the son of the preceding, and the father of the emperor Otho, was connected on his mother's side with many of the most distinguished Roman families, and stood so high in the favor of Tiberius and resembled this emperor so strongly in person, that it was supposed by most that he was his son.He discharged the various public offices at Rome, was consul suffectus in A.D. 33 (Suet. Galb. 6), obtained the proconsulate of Africa, and administrated the affairs of this province, as well as of other extraordinary commands which he held, with great diligence and energy. In A.D. 42 he was sent into Illyricum, where the Roman army had lately rebelled to Claudius. On his arrival he put to death several of the soldiers, who had killed their own officers under the pretext that they had excited them to rebellion, and who had even been reward by Claudius for this very act. Such a proceeding, thought it might have been necessary to restore the discipline of the troops, gave great umbrage at the imperial court; but Otho soon afterwards regained the favor of Claudius by detecting a conspiracy which had been formed against his life by a Roman eques. The senate conferred upon him the extraordinary honor of erecting his statua on the Palatine, and Claudius enrolled him among the patricians, adding that he did not wish better children then Otho. By his wife Alba Terentia he had two sons and one daughter. The elder of his sons, Lucius, bore, says Suetonius, the surname of Titianus, but we may conclude from Tacitus (Ann. xii. 52) and Frontinus (Aquaed. 13) that he had the cognomen of Otho as well [see below, No. 3]. His younger son, Marcus, was the emperor Otho. His daughter was betrothed, when quite young, to Drusus, the son of Germanicus. (Suet. Otho, 1; Tac. Hist. ii. 50.)
# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Otho, Salvius 3.

L. SALVIUS OTHO TITIANUS, was the son of No. 2, and the elder brother of the emperor Otho. He was console A.D. 52 with Faustus Cornelius Sulla (Tac. Ann. xii. 52; Frontin. Aquaed. 13). In A.D. 63 Titianus was proconsul in Asia, and had Agricola for his quaestor. It is related to the honor of the latter that he was not corrupted by the example of his superior officer, who indulged in every kind of rapacity. (Tac. Agric. 6). On the death of Galba in January A.D. 69, Titianus was a second time made consul, with his brother Otho, the emperor. When the latter set out from Rome against the generals of Vitellius, he left Titianus in charge of the city, but he soon afterwards sent for him and gave him the chief command in the war. It was partly through his eagerness to engage with the Vitellian troops, that his brother lost the empire; and on the downfall of the latter Titianus was so little dreaded, that he was pardoned by Vitellius - pietate et ignavia excusatus, says Tacitus. (Tac. Hist. i. 75, 77. ii. 23, 33, 39, 60.)
