# Modern Russian Poetry/"With My Fancy I Grasped"

"WITH MY FANCY I GRASPED"
With my fancy I grasped at the vague shadows straying,
At the vague shadows straying where the daylight had
fled;
I ascended a tower, and the stairway was swaying,
And the stairway was swaying underneath my light tread.
And the higher I climbed, ever clearer were rounded,
Ever clearer were rounded dreaming hilltops aglow;
And from Heaven to Earth twilight voices resounded,
Twilight voices resounded from above and below.
And the higher I rose, strange horizons defining,
Strange horizons defining, did the summits appear;
And my eyes as I looked were caressed by their shining,
Were caressed by their shining, their farewell, sad and
clear.
Now the night had appeared; Earth in darkness lay
dreaming,
Earth in darkness lay dreaming, like a slumbering star,
While the smoldering sun, his dim embers still gleaming,
His dim embers still gleaming, shone for me from afar.
I had learned to ensnare the vague shadows far straying,
The vague shadows far straying, where the daylight had
fled;
Ever higher I rose, and the stairway was swaying,
And the stairway was swaying underneath my light tread.

# Modern Russian Poetry/"Whispers, Timid Breathing"

"WHISPERS. TIMID BREATHING"
Whispers. Timid breathing. Trilling
Of a nightingale.
Heaving silver waters rilling
In the quiet vale.
Night's dim light and shadows dreaming
Through the haze of space.
Moods like faery lanterns gleaming
On the dearest face.
Smoky clouds show roses sleeping,
Amber lights and fawn.
Kisses soft, and softer weeping.
And the dawn, the dawn!

# Modern Russian Poetry/A Lenten One

Layout 1
A LENTEN ONE
Noon in golden thaw is garbed with glory,
Midnight's wrap of silver snows is hoary.
Pink the buds among the aspen's ashes
Where the diamond hoar-frost softly flashes.
My kind cat has furtively departed,
But the swallow has returned, high-hearted.
Winter grief no more our dumb lips locking,
But upon the heart Spring grief is knocking.
And at noon we weep, our bosoms crossing,
Midnight sees us in hot slumber tossing:
Quiet lips, knees pressed as though in prayer,
But our shadowed eyes are our betrayer.

# Modern Russian Poetry/"When, Heaving on the Stormy Waters"

"WHEN, HEAVING ON THE STORMY WATERS"
When, heaving on the stormy waters, I felt my ship begin to sink, I prayed, "Oh, Father Satan, save me, Forgive me at death's utter brink!
"If you will save my soul embittered From perishing before its hour, The days to come, the nights that follow I vow to vice, I pledge to power."
The Devil forthwith snatched and flung me Into a boat; the sides were frail, But on the bench the oars were lying And in the bow an old gray sail.
And landward once again I carried My outcast soul, bereft of kin, Upon its sickly vicious sojourn My body and its gift of sin.
And I am faithful, Father Satan, Unto my evil hour's vow, When from my drowning ship you saved me And when I prayed you guide the prow.
To you descend my praises, Father, No day from bitter blame exempt. O'er worlds my blasphemy shall tower; And I shall tempt—and I shall tempt.

# Modern Russian Poetry/"You Sit on the Bed There"

"YOU SIT ON THE BED THERE"
(Opening poem of the "Funeral Mass" cycle)
"You sit on the bed there
In the sunset's full crimson,
Pillows crumpled,
Looking distracted,—what
Troubles you?"
"Oh, swept by
Transparent
Gold cataracts,
The fir-tree tops
Loom athwart the sky's blue."
"Orphaned, alone, I shall
Languish,
Through summery
Twilights and Winter nights.
There are new flights, but
Try them I dare not.
Oh, do not die!"
"Oh, above the pines
I float off into æther seas.
Who, there, what, there,
Swathes the sky with whitenesses,
As with vestments of silver?"

# Modern Russian Poetry/"Upon This Wild Headland"

"UPON THIS WILD HEADLAND"
Upon this wild headland, crowned meanly with indigent
rushes
And withering bush and the pitiful green of the pine-
trees,
The aged Meniskos, a sorrowful fisherman laid
His son who had perished. His youth the sea, motherwise,
nurtured,
That sea whose wide lap took him back, who resistlessly
bore him
In death, and who carefully carried the young body shore-
ward.
Then mourning Meniskos went forth, and beneath the
great willow
He dug him a grave, a plain stone he set for a mark on
the cliff-side,
And hung overhead a coarse net he had woven of
willow,—
A fisherman's wreath to be poverty's bitter memento.

# Modern Russian Poetry/"With Wavering Feet"

"WITH WAVERING FEET"
With wavering feet I walked where dawn-lit mists were
lying,
To find the shores of wonder and of mystery.
Dawn struggled with the final stars, frail dreams were
flying,
While unto unknown gods my morning lips were crying
The prayers that my dream-imprisoned soul had whispered
me.
The noon is cold and candid, the road winds on severely,
And through an unknown land once more my journey lies.
The mist has lifted now, and the stark eye sees clearly
How hard the mountain-road that rises upward sheerly,
How distant looms the dream the prescient heart de-
scries!
Yet onward with unfaltering feet I shall be going
Toward midnight, onward toward the shore of my desires,
Where on a mountain-height, new stars its glory showing,
My promised temple waits, with plinth and pillar glow-
ing,
Beaten about with flame of white, triumphal fires.

# Modern Russian Poetry/A Nereid

Written in 1820, first published in 1824.
Layout 1
A NEREID
Among the glaucous waves that kiss gold Tauris' beaches
I saw a Nereid, as dawn flushed heaven's reaches.
I barely dared to breathe, hid in the olive trees,
While the young demigoddess rose above the seas;
Her young, her swan-white breast above the waters lifting,
From her soft hair she wrung the foam in garlands
drifting.

# Morgan L. Martin's Sine die Address of February 1, 1848

GENTLEMEN :—Having accomplished the work for which this convention was called together, it only remains to declare its final dissolution. The result of our labors, if approved, becomes henceforth the supreme law of our adopted land, and whether well or ill done, it stands forth as the record of our united opinions upon the form of government best suited to the condition of our people. Following the example set by the Great Architect of the Universe, we may without irreverance look upon the pages of our constitution and pronounce them to be good. It abounds in the declaration of those great principles which characterize the age in which we live, and which under the protection of Heaven, will, nay, must guard the honor, promote the prosperity, and secure the permanent welfare of our beloved country.
I should do injustice to my own feelings, not to speak upon the present occasion, in terms of high commendation, of the order, respectful bearing, and courteous conduct which have marked our intercourse during our long and arduous session. All other considerations have apparently been merged in a uniform and united effort to study the public good, and attain the favorable judgment of our fellow-citizens.
For the complimentary language in which you have spoken of the part I have borne in your proceedings, you will accept my humble and hearty thanks. It affords a testimonial of which any man may well be proud, and will be ever held in grateful remembrance.
We are about to separate—many of us never to meet again on earth, and I bid you an affectionate adieu, with the fervent prayer that you may long enjoy the confidence and respect of your constituents, and that happiness and prosperity may attend you all through life.
I pronounce this body adjourned without day.

TO HAROLD PEIRCE GENEROUS AND EFFICIENT HELPER IN GOOD WORKS
PART I
SUMERIAN RELIGIOUS TEXTS
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The texts in this volume have been copied from tablets in the University Museum, Philadelphia, and edited in moments snatched from many other exacting duties. They present considerable variety. No. 1 is an incantation copied from a foundation cylinder of the time of the dynasty of Agade. It is the oldest known religious text from Babylonia, and perhaps the oldest in the world. No. 8 contains a new account of the creation of man and the development of agriculture and city life. No. 9 is an oracle of Ishbiurra, founder of the dynasty of Nisin, and throws an interesting light upon his career.
It need hardly be added that the first interpretation of any unilingual Sumerian text is necessarily, in the present state of our knowledge, largely tentative. Every one familiar with the language knows that every text presents many possibilities of translation and interpretation. The first interpreter cannot hope to have thought of all of these, or to have decided every delicate point in a way that will commend itself to all his colleagues.
The writer is indebted to Professor Albert T. Clay, to Professor Morris Jastrow, Jr., and to Dr. Stephen Langdon for many helpful criticisms and suggestions. Their wide knowledge of the religious texts of Babylonia, generously placed at the writer's service, has been most helpful. His thanks are also due to Dr. Edward Chiera for helpful criticisms of the text. He is also grateful to the authorities of the University Museum for the privilege of copying the tablets, and to Dr. George B. Gordon, the Director of the Museum, for many courtesies during the progress of the work. He is also deeply grateful to Mr. Harold Peirce whose aid has made this publication possible.
