## 5. To Priscus

[358-9, Winter, Paris]
I had only just recovered by the providence of the All-Seeing One from a very severe and sharp attack of sickness, when your letters reached my hands, on the very day when I took my first bath. It was already evening when I read them, and it would be hard for you to tell how my strength began to return when I realised your pure and sincere affection. May I become worthy of it, that I may not shame your love for me! Your letters I read at once, though I was not very well able to do so, but those of Antonius to Alexander I stored up for the next day. On the seventh day from their receipt I began to write this to you, since my strength is improving reasonably well, thanks to Divine Providence. May the All-Seeing god preserve you, my dearest and best beloved brother. May I see you, my treasure! Added with his own hand. I swear by your well-being and my own, by the All-Seeing god, that I really feel as I have written. Best of men, when can I see you and embrace you? For already, like doting lovers, I adore your very name.

* ↑ So Cumont, following the ascription of MS. Baroccianus. Hertlein with hesitation addressed it to Libanius. So, too, Schwarz, who accordingly gives the date as 362 A.D. But as assigned to Priscus, it should be connected with the foregoing invitation to that sophist to come to Gaul, and the illness to which Julian refers is almost certainly his semi-asphyxiation in Paris described in Misopogon 340-342A.

## 43. To Eustathius the Philosopher

[362, Antioch]
Perhaps the proverb "An honest man" — is too hackneyed. I am sure you know the rest. More than this, you possess it; for, rhetorician and philosopher as you are, you know the words that come next, and you possess me for a friend, at least if we are both honest men. On your behalf I would strenuously maintain that you are in that category, but about myself I say nothing. I only pray that others may find by experience that I also am honest! You ask why I go round in a circle as though I were going to say something extraordinary when I ought to speak out? Come, then, lose no time; fly hither, as we say. A kindly god will speed you on your way with the aid of the Maiden of the Cross Roads and the state post will be at your disposal if you wish to use a carriage; and two extra horses.

## Footnotes

* ↑ The cursus publicus was the system of posting stations where horses were kept ready for the use of the Emperor or his friends; cf. Letter 26 To Basil, end.
# Letters of Julian/Letter 46

## 46. To Ecdicius, Prefect of Egypt

[362, about October, from Antioch]
Even though you do not write to me on other matters, you ought at least to have written about that enemy of the gods, Athanasius, especially since, for a long time past, you have known my just decrees. I swear by mighty Serapis that, if Athanasius the enemy of the gods does not depart from that city, or rather from all Egypt, before the December Kalends, I shall fine the cohort which you command a hundred pounds of gold. And you know that, though I am slow to condemn, I am even much slower to remit when I have once condemned. Added with his own hand. It vexes me greatly that my orders are neglected. By all the gods there is nothing I should be so glad to see, or rather hear reported as achieved by you, as that Athanasius has been expelled beyond the frontiers of Egypt. Infamous man! He has had the audacity to baptise Greek women of rank during my reign! Let him be driven forth!

## Footnotes

* ↑ Athanasius had disregarded the order to leave Alexandria, but he now, on October 24th, went into exile in Upper Egypt; Socrates 3. 14; Sozomen 5. 15; see p. 75.
* ↑ The Greek word used is the equivalent of the Latin libra = 12 ounces.

## 42. To Callixeine

[362, Antioch]
"Time alone proves the just man," as we learn from men of old; but I would add the god-fearing and pious man also. However, you say, the love of Penelope for her husband was also witnessed to by time. Now who would rank a woman's piety second to her love for her husband without appearing to have drunk a very deep draught of mandragora? And if one takes into account the conditions of the times and compares Penelope, who is almost universally praised for loving her husband, with pious women who not long ago hazarded their lives; and if one considers also that the period was twice as long, which was an aggravation of their sufferings; then, I ask, is it possible to make any fair comparison between you and Penelope? Nay, do not belittle my praises. All the gods will requite you for your sufferings and for my part I shall honour you with a double priesthood. For besides that which you held before of priestess to the most venerable goddess Demeter, I entrust to you the office of priestess to the most mighty Mother of the gods in Phrygia at Pessinus, beloved of the gods.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Otherwise unknown. Julian visited Pessinus in Phrygia on his way to Antioch. See Introduction.
* ↑ Sophocles, Oedipus Rex 614.
* ↑ To drink mandragora (mandrake), is a proverb for sluggish wits; but mandrake was used also as a stimulus to love.

## 44. To Eustathius

[362, Antioch]
   "Entreat kindly the guest in your house, but speed him when he would be gone."
Thus did wise Homer decree. But the friendship that exists between us two is stronger than that between guest and host, because it is inspired by the best education attainable and by our pious devotion to the gods. So that no one could have fairly indicted me for transgressing the law of Homer if I had insisted that you should remain still longer with us. But I see that your feeble frame needs more care, and I have therefore given you permission to go to your own country, and have provided for your comfort on the journey. That is to say, you are allowed to use a state carriage, and may Asclepius and all the gods escort you on your way and grant that we may see you again!

## Footnotes

* ↑ Hertlein, following an error in the editions of Martin and Estienne, makes Julian address this letter to Maximus. For the answer of Eustathius see Letter 83.
* ↑ Odyssey 15. 74; this had become a proverb, cf. Libanius, Letter 130.
* ↑ Cappadocia.
* ↑ The premature death of Julian prevented the fulfilment of this wish.
# Letters of Julian/Letter 45

From The Works of the Emperor Julian, volume III (1913) Loeb Classical Library.

## 45. To Ecdicius, Prefect of Egypt

[362, October, from Antioch]
As the proverb says, "You told me my own dream." And I fancy that I am relating to you your own waking vision. The Nile, they tell me, had risen in full flood, cubits high, and has inundated the whole of Egypt. If you want to hear the figures, it had risen fifteen cubits on the twentieth of September. Theophilus, the military prefect, informs me of this. So, if you did not know it, hear it from me, and let it rejoice your heart.

## Footnotes

* ↑ For Ecdicius see Letter 49.
* ↑ Cf. "Queen Anne is dead." Ecdicius presumably knew what Julian tells him.
* ↑ Pliny, Natural History 5. 9, says that a rise of 15 cubits gives Egypt security, 16 is luxury; Ammianus 22. 15 says that cultivators fear a rise of more than 16 cubits. The Egyptian cubit was about 22 inches.

## Dissenting Opinion

    Stewart
United States Supreme Court
400 U.S. 423
Kennerly et al. v. District Court of the Ninth Judicial District of Montana et al.
On Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Montana
No. 5370.
Petitioners unsuccessfully moved to dismiss an action for a 1964 debt brought against them, on the ground that the Montana courts lacked jurisdiction because they were Blackfeet Indians and the transactions took place on the Indian reservation. Section 7 of the Act of August 15, 1953, provided in part that a State not having civil jurisdiction over Indians could "assume jurisdiction at such time and in such manner as the people of the State shall, by affirmative legislative action, obligate and bind the State to assumption thereof." Montana took no affirmative legislative action with respect to the Blackfeet Reservation. In 1967 the Blackfeet Tribal Council adopted an act providing for concurrent jurisdiction in the Tribal Court and the state courts of any suit where the defendant is a member of the Tribe. Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 repealed § 7 of the 1953 Act and provided for the assumption of state jurisdiction "only where the enrolled Indians within the affected area of such Indian county accept such jurisdiction by a majority vote of the adult Indians voting at a special election held for that purpose."
Held: The Tribal Council's unilateral action was insufficient to vest jurisdiction in the Montana courts under either the 1953 Act, which required affirmative state legislative action, or under the 1968 Act, which calls for a majority vote of all enrolled Indians.
Certiorari granted; 154 Mont. 488, 466 P. 2d 85, vacated and remanded.
PER CURIAM.

# Lilly Ledbetter on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009

Delivered in the East Room of the White House on 29 January 2009. Michelle Obama delivered these remarks on 29 January 2009. Barack Obama delivered these remarks on 29 January 2009.
Thank you. And thank you, Mrs. Obama.
I fell in love with those people campaigning with them. I have to tell you that. And that's not on my prepared speech -- (laughter) -- but I have to tell you I love she and the President. And I just believe in them and their work so very much.
But thank you very much. Words cannot begin to describe how honored and humbled I feel today. When I filed my claim against Goodyear with the EEOC 10 years ago, never -- never -- did I imagine the path that it would lead me down. I have spent the past two years since the Supreme Court's decision in my case fighting for equal pay for this day. But to watch you sign a bill that bears my name, the bill that will help women and others fight pay discrimination in the workplace, is truly overwhelming.
Goodyear will never have to pay me what it cheated me out of. In fact, I will never see a cent from my case. But with the passage and President's signature today, I have an even richer reward. (Applause.) I know that my daughter and granddaughters, and your daughters and your granddaughters, will have a better deal. That's what makes this fight worth fighting. That's what made this fight one we had to win. And now with this win we will make a big difference in the real world.
On behalf of all the women in this country who will once again be able to fight pay discrimination, thank you. Thank you to all the senators and House members who fought for and supported this bill. Thank you to the many organizations and broad coalition that worked tirelessly for its passage. And thank you to the countless women around the country who rallied behind this legislation. It would never have happened without you.
With this bill in place, we now can move forward to where we all hope to be -- improving the law, not just restoring it. President Obama, I want him to know that we're very grateful for his support. And you can count on my continued commitment to fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act -- (applause) -- and to make sure that women have equal pay for equal work, because that's what this country is all about.
And thank you very much. (Applause.)

# Lily Adair (2016)

As published in American Poetry (2nd ed., 2016), vol. 1.
Lily Adair
On the beryl-rimmed rebecs of Ruby, Brought fresh from the hyaline streams, She played, on the banks of the Yuba, Such songs as she heard in her dreams. Like the heavens, when the stars from their eyries Look down through the ebon night air, Were the groves by the Ouphantic Fairies Lit up for my Lily Adair— For my child-like Lily Adair— For my heaven-born Lily Adair— For my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
Like two rose-leaves in sunshine when blowing, Just curled softly, gently apart, Were her lips by her passion, while growing In perfume on the stalk of her heart. As mild as the sweet influences Of the Pleiades 'pregning the air— More mild than the throned Excellencies Up in heaven, was my Lily Adair— Was my Christ-like Lily Adair— Was my lamb-like Lily Adair— Was my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
At the birth of this fair virgin Vestal,  She was taken for Venus' child; And her voice, though like diamond in crystal, Was not more melodious than mild. Like the moon in her soft silver splendor, She was shrined in her own, past compare, For no Angel in heaven was more tender Than my beautiful Lily Adair— Than my dove-like Lily Adair— Than my saint-like Lily Adair— Than my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
Thus she stood on the arabesque borders Of the beautiful blossoms that blew On the banks of the crystalline waters, Every morn, in the diaphane dew. The flowers, they were radiant with glory, And shed such perfume on the air, That my soul, now to want them, feels sorry, And bleeds for my Lily Adair— For my much-loved Lily Adair— For my long-lost Lily Adair— For my beautiful, dutiful Lily Adair.
