# Omniana/Volume 2/Chess

187. Chess.
The King of Prussia and Marshal Keith played chess with soldiers,—the most innocent game they ever played with them. It had been done before them by Akber the Mogul. In a palace of his at Tuttahpoor his chess court is still shown, and the elevated seat from whence he directed the moves. Mr Scott describes Sir Gaheret's game with the Fairy, where ​massive statues of gold and silver moved at the touch of a magic wand; but the adventure to which he refers in the Romance of Lancelot du Lac is a different one,. . the Knight played one set and the other played themselves.
A learned school divine of Huarte's acquaintance used to play chess with his servant and was generally beat by him. "Sirrah," said he one day in his anger, "how comes it to pass that thou who hast no skill neither in Latin nor Logick nor Divinity shouldst beat me who am full of Scotus and St. Thomas? Is it possible that thou shouldst have a better wit than I? verily I cannot believe it except the Devil tells thee what moves to make."
There is a curious passage concerning this game in Huarte. "The Moors, as they are great players at chess, have in their soldiers pay set seven degrees, in imitation of the seven draughts which the pawn must make to be a Queen; and so they enlarge the pay from one to ​the second, and from the second to the third, untill they arive to seven, answerable to the proof that the soldier shall give of himself; and if he be so gallant as to enlarge his pay to the seventh they yield him the same; and for this cause they are termed Septerniers or sevensters. These have large liberties and exemptions, as in Spain those gentlemen who are called hidalgos."

# Omniana/Volume 2/Colour of the Autumnal Leaves

240. Colour of the Autumnal Leaves.
In Captain Lewis's Account of the ​American Journey of Discovery by way of the Missouri to the Pacific, is a remark of great practical and philosophical importance, if it be well founded.
"Mr. Dunbar, (he says,) observes, that the change of colour in the leaves of vegetables, which is probably occasioned by the oxygen of the atmosphere acting on the vegetable matter, deprived of the protecting power of vital principle, may serve as an excellent guide to the naturalist who directs his attention to the discovery of new objects for the use of the dyer. For he has always remarked, that the leaves of those trees whose bark or wood is known to produce a dye, are changed in autumn to the same colour which is extracted in the dyer's vat from the woods; more especially by the use of mordants, as allum, &c. which yields oxygen: thus the foliage of the hickory and oak, which produces the quercitron bark, is changed before its fall into a beautiful ​yellow. Other oaks assume a fawn colour, a liver colour, or a blood colour, and are known to yield dyes of the same complexion."
# Omniana/Volume 2/Columbus

​ ​Columbian Islands, because, he says, many foreign nations might interpret this latter name to mean the Isles of Doves, and therefore it is better to preserve the original name of the great discoverer. Columbus, however, was the discoverer's family name, and it is thus curiously allegorized, or as the Methodists would say, improved by his son Fernando,.. in a manner which might have delighted Mr. Shandy. "His name and surname were not without some mystery. We may instance many names which were given by secret impulse, to denote the effects those persons were to produce, as in. his is foretold and expressed the wonder he performed. For if we look upon the common surname of his ancestors, we may say he was true Columbus, or Columba, for as much as he conveyed the grace of the Holy Ghost into that new world which he discovered, shewing those people who knew him not, which was God's beloved Son, as the Holy Ghost did in the figure ​of a dove at St. John's baptism; and because he also carried the olive branch and oil of baptism over the waters of the ocean, like Noah's dove, to denote the peace and union of those people with the church, after they had been shut up in the ark of darkness and confusion. And the surname of Colon, which he revived, was proper to him, which in Greek signifies a member, that his proper name being Christopher, it might be known he was a member of Christ, by whom salvation was to be conveyed to those peOple. Moreover, if we would bring his name to the Latin pronunciation, that is Christophorus Colonus, we may say, that as St. Christopher is reported to have bore that name, because he carried Christ over the deep waters, with great danger to himself, whence came the denomination of Christopher; and as he conveyed over the people whom no other would have been able to carry; so the admiral ​Christophorus Colonus, imploring the assistance of Christ in that dangerous passage, went over safe himself and his company, that those Indian nations might become citizens and inhabitants of the Church triumphant in Heaven; for it is to be believed, that many souls, which the Devil expected to make a prey of, had they not passed through the water of baptism, were by him made inhabitants and dwellers in the eternal glory of Heaven."
# Omniana/Volume 2/French-English

207. French-English.
It is curious to observe how the English Catholicks of the 17th century wrote English like men who habitually spoke French. Corps is sometimes used for the living body, . . and when they attempt to versify, their rhymes are only rhymes according to a French pronunciation.
This path most fair I walking winde
By shadow of my pilgrimage,
Wherein at every step I find
An heavenly draught and image
Of my fraile mortality,
Tending to eternity. ***The tree that bringeth nothing else
But leaves and breathing verdure
Is fit for fire, and not for fruit
And doth great wrong to Nature. ***
​But the finest specimen of French-English verse is certainly the inscription which M. Girardin placed at Ermenonville to the memory of Shenstone.
This plain stone,
To William Shenstone.
In his writings he display'd
A mind natural.
At Leasowes he laid
Arcadian greens rural.
Shenstone used to thank God that his name was not liable to a pun. He little thought that it was liable to such a rhyme as this.
# On the Successes of The International in Germany and France

Report issued by The Bee-Hive on July 25, 1868 about a speech given by Karl Marx at the General Council meeting in July 21, 1868.
A letter from Germany announced that the Working-Men’s Unions of the Southern States of Germany are going to hold a Congress at Nürnberg in the first week of September. The first question to be decided by that Congress is the adhesion of the whole federation to the International Working-Men’s Association.
Attention was called to an article in Le Réveil, a newspaper, published by the friends of Ledru-Rollin at Paris, in which the attitude of the members of the Paris Committee is approvingly commented upon, and the political sagacity and the superior moral conduct of the working classes of Europe, contrasted with the intriguing stupidity of the ruling classes. The article contains the following remarkable passage:
    "It is to the union of ideas and sentiments that prevails amongst the working men of the different countries of Europe that we trust for the maintenance of peace. In a few days the Congress of the International Association is going to assemble. All the countries of Europe will be represented there, perhaps with the exception of France, and will it be too much to say that by the wisdom of its resolutions this assembly of all the European delegates of labour may become the Amphitryonite council of Europe? Yes; if to-morrow, by mastering the immortal principles of the French revolution, and taking in hand the sacred interests of labour, which comprehend order, security, and liberty, this Congress decreed peace, the word would be received with enthusiasm by all Europe."

## Author's preface

These Lectures make no claim to the character of a Literary Work such as I have endeavoured to depict in the tenth of them, but are spoken discourses, which I commit to the press in the hope that they may thus be useful to some who had no opportunity of hearing them. They may also be considered as a new and improved edition of the Lectures on the Vocation of the Scholar, which I published twelve years ago;—the task being executed in such a manner as was possible under the conditions laid upon me. And were I called to account for the way in which I have fulfilled my vocation as a public teacher in Erlangen, I should have no objection to these Lectures being taken as an element in the judgment. Further, I have nothing to say about them to the reading public, with whom I feel a constantly increasing dislike to hold communication.

PASTORAL
POEMS
PREFACE.
T is somewhat strange to conceive, in an age so addicted ta the Muses, how Pastoral Poetry comes to be be never so much as thought upon; considering, especially, that it is of the greatest antiquity, and hath ever been accounted the foremost, amongst the smaller poems, in dignity. Virgil and Spenser made use of it as a prelude to Epic Poetry: but, I fear, the innocency of the subject makes it so little inviting.
There is no kind of Poem, if happily executed, but gives delight; and herein may the Pastoral boast after a peculiar manner: for, as in Painting, so in Poetry, the Country affords not only the most delightful scenes and prospects, but likewise the most pleasing images of life.
Gassendus (I remember) observes that Peireskius was a great lover of musick, especially the melody of birds: because their simple strains have less of passion and violence, but more of a sedate and quiet harmony, and therefore, do they rather befriend contemplation. In like manner, the Pastoral Song gives a sweet and gentle composure to the mind; whereas the Epic and Tragic Poems, by the vehemency of their emotions, raise the spirits into a ferment.
​To view a fair stately palace strikes us indeed with admiration, and swells the soul with notions of grandeur! but when I see a little country dwelling, advantageously situated amidst a beautiful variety of hills, meadows, fields, woods, and rivulets, I feel an unspeakable sort of satisfaction, and cannot forbear wishing my kinder fortune would place me in such a sweet retirement.
Theocritus, Virgil, and Spenser, are the only Poets who seem to have hit upon the true nature of Pastoral Compositions: so that it will be sufficient praise for me, if I have not altogether failed in my attempt.

# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Robert Browning

ROBERT BROWNING
"Never say of me that I am dead!"
GREAT-HEARTED son of the Titan mother, Earth, Fed at her breast, He builded upward from the solid ground, While listening ever for the heavenly sound Of higher voices, to his soul addressed.
The elemental mother, lending might With vital breath, Made him, with her instinctive courage, brave; And the immortals to his spirit gave Their deeper knowledge and their scorn of death.
So evermore with energy and joy, He followed Truth: Still for the message and the vision sought, Still to the temple of her worship brought The imagination of unaging youth;
And in its largeness ever viewing life, Perceived its goal To be beyond the bounds of space or time. ​He strove to picture it in powerful rhyme; But what he painted ever—was the soul!
Ay, 't was the soul that moved, delighted him, Absorbed his care, From early days in English Camberwell To that far hour when tolled for him a knell, Mournful across the deep, from Venice the all-fair.
Voiceless he sleeps, his giant task performed; But in his stead, Brave Caponsacchi, poignantly alive, Pippa, beloved Pompilia, and Clive, Forbid the world to think of him as dead!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Requiem for a Young Soldier

REQUIEM FOR A YOUNG SOLDIER
PEACE to-night, heroic spirit! Pain is overpast. All the strife with life is ended; You may rest at last.
The devotion that, amazing, Welled from out the deep Of your being, no more needed, Quiet you may sleep:
Sleep, who, giving all for others, Battled till the victory nigh, You, too, toil and heart-break over, Had the right to die! . . .
We may guard the grave that holds you, As a shrine of Truth Lighted by the pure devotion Of your radiant youth;
We, you died for, may forget you! You will have no care, Who, content, to-night are sleeping— Painless, dreamless, there!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Renewal

RENEWAL
THESE sounds sonorous rolling! These vibrant tones and clear! Listen! The bells are tolling The requiem of the year: The year that dies, as mute it lies Mid fallen leaves and sere!
Now by the fading embers That on the hearthstone glow, How sadly one remembers The things of long ago: The wistful things, with flame-bright wings, That vanished long ago!
The self-effacing sorrow, The generous desire, The pledges for the morrow, Enkindled at this fire!— Enkindled here, O dying year! Where smoulders low thy pyre.
​What hope and what ambition, What dreams beyond recall! And look we for fruition, To find them ashes all? Is life the wraith of love—of faith? Then let the darkness fall!
The sparks—how fast they dwindle! How faint their being glows! Quickly the fire rekindle— Ah, quickly! ere it goes! Woo living breath from the lips of death!— From ashes bring the rose! ******** Kind God! The bells, in gladness! The rose of hope hath bloomed! For, consecrating sadness, Life hath its own resumed, And welcomes here the new-born year— A phœnix, unconsumed!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Retrospect

RETROSPECT
HOW had it been, my belovèd, Had Fate united us sooner,— In the bright days when our hearts First dreamed of loving?—
When, a thrice exquisite vision, Hope, all her lute-strings unbroken, Smilingly beckoned us on, Wooed us to follow?—
When our youth, eager, expectant,— Trusting the north as the south wind, Hardly, its pulses a-throb, Staid life's unfolding?
Had I been more to you, dearer, Bearing my myrtle and roses, Than, as I came, crowned with rue, Weighted with sorrow,
Seeing both light and its shadow, Taught both of truth and illusion, Knowing earth's rapture and pain, Sharing earth's travail?
​More had I been to you—dearer?... Deep in my heart a voice answers, Healing the sense of unworth, Whispering comfort:—
"Love takes no counsel of prudence; Wherefore men, timid and doubting, Marvelling oft at his choice, Charge him with blindness;
"But—this believe!—not Apollo, Clothed in his glory celestial, Bears such a light in his breast As that which Eros
"Holds in the heart of his darkness, Guards as a torch never failing, Given to guide him where waits His sole desire!"

RHEIMS
AT THE RUINED CATHEDRAL
COVER your face, Humanity, and weep, Considering your sorrow and your shame Where things are writ to keep the eyes from sleep,— Where sacrilege and horror records keep To blemish your fair name!
Hate here betrayed itself, too blind to see, Striking with venom at its own heart's core— Hate, that destroys with dull barbarity What Time, though long it toil and patiently, May not again—ah, not again restore!
The generations yet unborn shall feel This wrong to Beauty, and lament her loss: Here royal kings, unhappy ghosts, shall steal Through ruins where no carillon shall peal, Nor altar gleam, nor Christ bend from the cross.
And evermore, haunting this woeful shade, Clothed in white armor a loved wraith shall come; And here, where she a King and Nation made, Shall talk again with angels, unafraid, Although her sweet, accusing lips be dumb.
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Privilege

PRIVILEGE
BLEST is the right to share The grief of hearts forlorn,— With other men to bear What must by men be borne; For night bestows dawn's orient rose And glories of the morn;
And as its shadow-wing Lends to the sunlight worth, So out of suffering Arise the joys of earth— The good and ill, united still And offspring of one birth.
Great is the gift of life To him who lives indeed, A partner in the strife, The toil, the pain, that speed— Like hidden rills veined through the hills— Life's ocean-deeps to feed!
# Poems That Every Child Should Know/The Death of the Old Year

The Death of the Old Year.
It is customary, every New Year's eve in America, to ring bells, fire guns, send up rockets, and, in many other ways, to show joy and gratitude that the old year has been so kind, and that the new year is so auspicious. The emphasis in Tennyson's poem is laid on gratitude for past benefits so easily forgotten rather than upon the possible advantages of the unknown and untried future.
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow, And the winter winds are wearily sighing: Toll ye the church-bell sad and slow, And tread softly and speak low, For the old year lies a-dying. Old year, you must not die; You came to us so readily, ​You lived with us so steadily, Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still: he doth not move: He will not see the dawn of day. He hath no other life above. He gave me a friend, and a true true-love, And the New-year will take 'em away. Old year, you must not go; So long as you have been with us, Such joy as you have seen with us, Old year, you shall not go.
He froth'd his bumpers to the brim; A jollier year we shall not see. But tho' his eyes are waxing dim, And tho' his foes speak ill of him, He was a friend to me. Old year, you shall not die; We did so laugh and cry with you, I've half a mind to die with you, Old year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest, But all his merry quips are o'er. To see him die, across the waste His son and heir doth ride post-haste, But he'll be dead before. Every one for his own. The night is starry and cold, my friend, And the New-year blithe and bold, my friend, Comes up to take his own.
​How hard he breathes! over the snow I heard just now the crowing cock. The shadows flicker to and fro: The cricket chirps: the light burns low: 'Tis nearly twelve o'clock. Shake hands, before you die. Old year, we'll dearly rue for you: What is it we can do for you? Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin. Alack! our friend is gone. Close up his eyes: tie up his chin: Step from the corpse, and let him in That standeth there alone, And waiteth at the door. There's a new foot on the floor, my friend, And a new face at the door, my friend, A new face at the door.
Alfred Tennyson.
