   The winsome heroine of this little story climbs a tree. ... [there] is a platform where Marjorie likes to read. From that rustic station she can look across the hedge that otherwise conceals the house recently rented by a mysterious stranger. ... and through the curtains comes the voice of a man entreating Marjorie to climb the tree every day and speak to him. ... —from the review in The Nation, 1911 July 13.

# The House by the Side of the Road

From a republication in the Central Railway Club of Buffalo, Chronicle, Volume 12, page 19.
"He was a friend to man, and lived in a house by the side of the road."—HOMER
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn  In the peace of their self-content; There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart,  In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths  Where highways never ran: But let me live by the side of the road  And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the road,  Where the race of men go by– The men who are good and the men who are bad,  As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat,  Or hurl the cynic's ban: Let me live in a house by the side of the road  And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the road,  By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope,  The men who are faint with the strife. But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears–  Both parts of an infinite plan– Let me live in my house by the side of the road  And be a friend to man.
I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead  And mountains of wearisome height: That the road passes on through the long afternoon  And stretches away to the night. But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice,  And weep with the strangers that moan, Nor live in my house by the side of the road  Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of the road  Where the race of men go by– They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,  Wise, foolish–So am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat  Or hurl the cynic's ban?– Let me live in my house by the side of the road  And be a friend to man.

## How we went underground to come to the Temple of the Holy Bottle, and how Chinon is the oldest city in the world

We went underground through a plastered vault, on which was coarsely painted a dance of women and satyrs waiting on old Silenus, who was grinning o' horseback on his ass. This made me say to Pantagruel, that this entry put me in mind of the painted cellar in the oldest city in the world, where such paintings are to be seen, and in as cool a place.
Which is the oldest city in the world? asked Pantagruel. 'Tis Chinon, sir, or Cainon in Touraine, said I. I know, returned Pantagruel, where Chinon lies, and the painted cellar also, having myself drunk there many a glass of cool wine; neither do I doubt but that Chinon is an ancient town --witness its blazon. I own 'tis said twice or thrice:
Chinon,  Little town,  Great renown,  On old stone  Long has stood;  There's the Vienne, if you look down;  If you look up, there's the wood.
But how, continued he, can you make it out that 'tis the oldest city in the world? Where did you find this written? I have found it in the sacred writ, said I, that Cain was the first that built a town; we may then reasonably conjecture that from his name he gave it that of Cainon. Thus, after his example, most other founders of towns have given them their names: Athena, that's Minerva in Greek, to Athens; Alexander to Alexandria; Constantine to Constantinople; Pompey to Pompeiopolis in Cilicia; Adrian to Adrianople; Canaan, to the Canaanites; Saba, to the Sabaeans; Assur, to the Assyrians; and so Ptolemais, Caesarea, Tiberias, and Herodium in Judaea got their names.
While we were thus talking, there came to us the great flask whom our lantern called the philosopher, her holiness the Bottle's governor. He was attended with a troop of the temple-guards, all French bottles in wicker armour; and seeing us with our javelins wrapped with ivy, with our illustrious lantern, whom he knew, he desired us to come in with all manner of safety, and ordered we should be immediately conducted to the Princess Bacbuc, the Bottle's lady of honour, and priestess of all the mysteries; which was done.
# The Fifth Book/Chapter XXXII
## How we came in sight of Lantern-land

Having been but scurvily entertained in the land of Satin, we went o' board, and having set sail, in four days came near the coast of Lantern-land. We then saw certain little hovering fires on the sea.
For my part, I did not take them to be lanterns, but rather thought they were fishes which lolled their flaming tongues on the surface of the sea, or lampyrides, which some call cicindelas, or glowworms, shining there as ripe barley does o' nights in my country.
But the skipper satisfied us that they were the lanterns of the watch, or, more properly, lighthouses, set up in many places round the precinct of the place to discover the land, and for the safe piloting in of some outlandish lanterns, which, like good Franciscan and Jacobin friars, were coming to make their personal appearance at the provincial chapter.
However, some of us were somewhat suspicious that these fires were the forerunners of some storm, but the skipper assured us again they were not.

# The First Snowfall

Written after the death of the author's first daughter Blanche, 1847.
The snow had begun in the gloaming, And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock Wore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm-tree Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara Came Chanticleer's muffled crow, The stiff rails softened to swan's-down, And still fluttered down the snow.
I stood and watched by the window The noiseless work of the sky, And the sudden flurries of snowbirds, Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn Where a little headstone stood; How the flakes were folding it gently, As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel, Saying, "Father, who makes it snow?" And I told of the good All-Father Who cares for us here below.
Again I looked at the snow-fall, And thought of the leaden sky That arched o'er our first great sorrow, When that mound was heaped so high.
I remembered the gradual patience That fell from that cloud like snow, Flake by flake, healing and hiding The scar that renewed our woe.
And again to the child I whispered, "The snow that husheth all, Darling, the merciful Father Alone can make it fall!"
Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her: And she, kissing back, could not know That my kiss was given to her sister, Folded close under deepening snow.
