# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/Story of the Eunuch Bekhit

Second-level story, contained in Ghanim Ben Eyoub the Slave of Love
STORY OF THE EUNUCH BEKHIT.
I was brought from my native country, when I was five years old, by a slave-merchant, who sold me to one of the royal messengers. My master had a three-year-old daughter, with whom I was reared, and they used to make sport of me, letting me play with the girl and dance and sing to her, till I reached the age of twelve and she that of ten; and even then they did not forbid me from her. One day, I went in to her and found her sitting in an inner room, perfumed with essences and scented woods, and her face shone like the round of the moon on its fourteenth night, as if she had just come out of the bath that was in the house. She began to sport with me, and I with her. Now I had just reached the age of puberty, and my yard rose on end, as it were a great bolt. Then she threw me down and mounting my breast, pulled me hither and thither, till my yard became uncovered. When she saw this, and it in point, she seized it in her hand and fell to rubbing it against the lips of her kaze, outside her trousers. At this, heat stirred in me and I put my arms round her, whilst she wreathed hers about my neck and strained me to her with all her might, till, before I knew what I did, my yard thrust through her trousers, and entering her kaze, did away her maidenhead. When I saw what I had done, I fled and took refuge with one of my comrades. Presently, her mother came in to her, and seeing her in this state, was lost to the world. However, she smoothed the matter over and hid the girl’s condition from her father, of the love they bore me, nor did they cease to call to me and coax me, till they took me from where I was. After two months had passed by, her mother married her to a young man, a barber, who used to shave her father, and portioned and fitted her out of her own monies, whilst her father knew nothing of what ​had passed. Then they took me unawares and gelded me: and when they brought her to her husband, they made me her eunuch, to go before her, wherever she went, whether to the bath or to her father’s house. On the wedding-night, they slaughtered a young pigeon and sprinkled the blood on her shift; and I abode with her a long while, enjoying her beauty and grace, by way of kissing and clipping and clicketing, till she died and her husband and father and mother died also; when they seized me for the Treasury and I found my way hither, where I became your comrade. This then, O my brothers, is my story and how I came to be docked of my cullions; and peace be on you.’

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/Story of the Fox and the Folk

Second-level story, contained in The Malice of Women
STORY OF THE FOX AND THE FOLK.
A fox once made his way into a city by the wall and entering a currier’s storehouse, played havoc with what was therein and spoiled the skins for the owner. One day, the currier set a trap for him and taking him, beat him with the hides, till he fell down senseless, whereupon the man, deeming him to be dead, cast him out into the road by the city-gate. Presently, an old woman came up and seeing the fox, said, “A fox’s eye, hung about a child’s neck, is salutary against weeping.” So she pulled out his right eye and went away. Then came a boy, who said, “What does this tail on this fox?” and cut off his brush. After awhile, up came a man and saying, “A fox’s gall clears away dimness from the eyes, if they be anointed therewith,” [took out his knife and made to slit the fox’s paunch]; but the latter said in himself; “We bore with the pulling out of the eye and the cutting off of the tail; but, as for the slitting of the paunch, there is no putting up with that.” So saying, he sprang up and made off through the gate of the city.’

THE PRECINCTS OF FEBRUARY
BY YVOR WINTERS
Junipers,
Steely shadows
Floating the jay.
A man,
Heavy and iron-black,
Alone in sun,
Threading the grass.
The cold
Coming again
As spring
Came up the valley,
But to stay
Rooted deep in the land;
The stone-pierced shadows
Trod by the bird
For day on day.

# The Double Dealer/Epilogue

EPILOGUE Spoken by Mrs. Mountford.
Could poets but foresee how plays would take, Then they could tell what epilogues to make; Whether to thank or blame their audience most. But that late knowledge does much hazard cost: Till dice are thrown, there’s nothing won, nor lost. So, till the thief has stolen, he cannot know Whether he shall escape the law, or no. But poets run much greater hazards far Than they who stand their trials at the bar. The law provides a curb for it’s own fury, And suffers judges to direct the jury: But in this court, what difference does appear! For every one’s both judge and jury here; Nay, and what’s worse, an executioner. All have a right and title to some part, Each choosing that in which he has most art. The dreadful men of learning all confound, Unless the fable’s good, and moral sound. The vizor-masks, that are in pit and gallery, Approve, or damn, the repartee and raillery. The lady critics, who are better read, Inquire if characters are nicely bred; If the soft things are penned and spoke with grace; They judge of action too, and time, and place; In which we do not doubt but they’re discerning, For that’s a kind of assignation learning. Beaus judge of dress; the witlings judge of songs; The cuckoldom, of ancient right, to cits belongs. Thus poor poets the favour are denied Even to make exceptions, when they’re tried. ’Tis hard that they must every one admit: Methinks I see some faces in the pit Which must of consequence be foes to wit. You who can judge, to sentence may proceed; But though he cannot write, let him be freed At least from their contempt who cannot read.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Anaconda

Edition of 1920. See also Anaconda on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
ANACONDA, a South American constricting serpent, the water-boa (Eunectes murinus). This is the largest of the boas (q.v.), and like the Ceylonese python (to which name originally belonged), may exceed 30 feet in length. It inhabits the swampy forests of the Amazonian region, where it is unpleasantly numerous and greatly feared by the natives, although not at all aggressive toward mankind, which it seeks to avoid rather than to attack. Like other boas it may hang from tree-limbs awaiting chance prey passing beneath, which it may seize and, by throwing powerful folds about its body, crush to death, meanwhile holding firmly to its support by its prehensile tail. Having crushed the animal, if large, into a sausage-like mass it descends and slowly swallows it, after which it lies quiet for a long time while the meat is digested. In captivity, for these reptiles are common in zoological gardens, several months sometimes elapse before another meal is wanted. It is rarely found far from water, and the larger part of its time, as a rule, is spent lying in the water or partly submerged on the bank, where it can seize small aquatic animals and swimming birds, which constitute most of its fare. The nostrils in this species open at the top of the snout in adaptation to this aquatic habit. During the day these water-boas live in holes in the bank, whose entrances are likely to be under water, and usually go forth only at night in search of food. Although strong enough to overcome animals as large as a jaguar or a crocodile, it will not attempt to swallow one
larger than a medium-sized dog. The females produce their young alive at irregular but long intervals and in varying numbers, one captive specimen in New York yielding 34 at a birth; but few of these survive the risk of drowning or the attacks of eagles, peccaries and other enemies.
The markings of the anaconda are leopard-like, the coat being greenish yellow above with one or sometimes two series of large, blackish cross-spots, and a lateral line of dark spots with white centres. The belly is gray spotted with black.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Andropogon

Edition of 1920. See also Andropogon on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
ANDROPOGON, ăn'drọ-pō'gŏn, a genus of about 200 species of grasses of very diverse utility, distributed widely, especially over dry plains throughout the temperate and tropical zones. The species are usually characterized by long, narrow leaves; terminal and axillary spikes; sessile perfect spikelets paired with pedicelled staminate, empty ones or scales; and straight or twisted awns. A. halepensis, or Sorghum halepense of some authors, Johnson grass, attains a height of from three to six feet from stout, perennial creeping rootstocks, which being difficult to eradicate make the plant a
troublesome weed where not needed for pasture or hay, for which it is largely grown in South America, Australia and the southern United States, where it was introduced about 1830. It makes quick growth, yields abundantly and may be cut several times in a season. It is not fully hardy in the North, where, as in Europe, it is often grown for ornament. A. schœnanthus, lemon grass, and A. nardus, citronella grass, are handsome tropical species cultivated in India and Ceylon for the fragrant oils they contain, and which are used in perfumery, soap-making and in the former case for the adulteration of certain perfumes, notably attar of roses. A. sorghum, or Sorghum vulgare of some authors, is of wide economic importance, its numerous varieties or sub-species being cultivated for fodder, sugar, alcohol, brushes, brooms and its seeds, which last are used for poultry, stock, and human food (see Sorghum). A. provincialis, A. scoparius and various other species known as blue-stem grass, are valued as fodder grasses in arid regions where they are native.

ANACONDA, Mont., city, the county-seat of Deer Lodge County, 27 miles northwest of Butte, on the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railways. It was founded in 1884, following the erection of its great copper-smelting works, which are the largest in the world. They treat daily between 5,000 and 10,000 tons of ore mined in the vicinity. The copper produced by the Washoe Reduction Works of the Anaconda Mining Company comprises 10 per cent of the world's output. Deposits of graphite and sapphires are found near the city. Anaconda has also large railway shops, brick works, machine-shops and other manufactories, banks, telephone and telegraph service, and daily and weekly newspapers. It has parks, likewise a race track and fair grounds, Hearst Free Library containing about 6,000 volumes, two opera houses and a daily and weekly newspapers. Anaconda has grown rapidly with the development of its great copper industry. In 1880 it was a small mining camp; 10 years later its population was 3,975. Pop. (1910) 10,134; (1913) 12,500.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Ancient Mariner, The

Edition of 1920. See also The Rime of the Ancient Mariner on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
ANCIENT MARINER, The. The best known of the poems of S. T. Coleridge. It should be read, as it was doubtless written, as a poem of strange, romantic adventure full of the swing and charm of the old ballads. The story with its incidents and its pictures, the language with its phrases and figures, the poetic movement both in single lines and in stanzas, — all these are of the best of their kind and may give keen poetic pleasure. The poem, besides these things, is informed with a fine thought particularly expressed in the last words of the old sailor, which should not be neglected. The poem, however, is also somewhat of a landmark in English literature and has significance in literary history. Coleridge was a leader in that movement at the beginning of the 19th century which gave to English poetry once more the charm of mystery, wonder, adventure and romantic beauty. He has himself told us (‘Biographia Literaria’ Chap. 14) of the plan of ‘Lyrical Ballads’ by Wordsworth and himself. The two friends talked over their literary hopes and their poetic ideals and decided to publish their poems together. Wordsworth's part was to show how much poetic beauty there was in the simple life of every day; Coleridge was to “deal with strange supernatural subjects,” so as really to arouse emotion and feeling. ‘The Ancient Mariner’ was the chief of Coleridge's few contributions and has always stood, if not exactly for the qualities which the author ascribes to it, for the essentially romantic in poetry.

MÜLLER, Wilhelm, German poet: b. Dessau, 7 Oct 1794; d. there, 30 Sept. 1827. He studied at Berlin, but the war of 1813 called him from his books, and he was present as a volunteer in the Prussian army at the battles of Lützen, Bautzen, Hanau and Kulm. In 1814 he returned to his studies at Berlin. His journey to Italy (1819) produced his ingenious work ‘Rom, Römer und Römerinnen’ (1820), and on his return to Germany he became teacher of Latin and Greek in the newly-established school at Dessau, where he was also appointed ducal librarian. In 1824 appeared his ‘Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten.’ His ‘Lieder der Griechen’ (1821-24) celebrate the awakening of an oppressed nation, its struggle and its victory. His ‘Lyrische Spaziergänge’ (Leipzig 1827) displays the same truth to nature, freshness and fire and the same harmony of language which characterizes his other poems. Many of his poems imitate with utmost perfection the true German Volkslied. Several of the ‘Müllerlieder’ are familiar through Franz Schubert's remarkable musical settings. His ‘Bibliothek deutscher Dichter des 17. Jahrhunderts’ (1822-27) is a valuable collection of the best lyric poems of that period. His works were collected in five volumes (1830). He was the father of Prof. Max Müller, the well-known philologist. A critical edition of his works appeared at Berlin in 1906. Consult Hako, B., ‘W. Müller, Leben und Dichten’ (Berlin 1908).

MÜLLER, Johannes von, German-Swiss historian: b. Schaffhausen, 3 Jan. 1752; d. Cassel, 29 May 1809. He studied at Göttingen, and in 1772 became professor of Greek at the gymnasium at Schaffhausen, and published ‘Bellum Cimbricum,’ his first work. He lived and taught in Geneva 1774-80, where he began his ‘Allgemeine Geschichte’ (3 vols., 1810), and published the first volume of his 'Geschichte der Schweitzer.' From 1781 to 1786 he taught history and statistics at the Collegium Carolinum at Cassel. In 1786 he became librarian and councillor of state to the Elector of Mainz. Here he wrote his ‘Geschichte der schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft’ and several other works. In 1792, when Mainz was taken by the French, he went to Vienna, where the Emperor Leopold nominated him a member of the Privy Council. In 1804 be left Vienna for
Berlin, where he was appointed historiographer of the Hohenzollern family. He also published ‘Ueber die Geschichte Friedrich I’; ‘Ueber den Untergang der Freiheit der Alten Völker’; ‘Versuch über die Zeitrechnungen der Vorwelt.’ After the battle of Jena, he was appointed by Napoleon (1807) Secretary of State in the new kingdom of Westphalia. His ‘Sämmtliche Werke’ appeared in 27 volumes (1800-17); (new ed., 40 vols., 1831-35). Consult lives by Heeren (1820); Döring (1835); Monnard, in French (1839), and Thiersch (1881).

MÜLLER, Victor, German historical painter: b. Frankfort, 29 March 1829; d. Munich, 21 Dec. 1871. Beginning his artistic career at the Frankfort art school, he continued it at Antwerp and ultimately went to Paris (1849), where he stayed for 11 years,
diligently studying the methods and manner of Couture, Delacroix and Courbet. He settled in Munich in 1865, and for the castle of Kronberg in the Taunus painted a series of scenes from the history of Baron Hartmuth von Kronberg. He also produced his famous ‘Hero and Leander.’ Following these works came ‘Hamlet with Horatio in the Churchyard’; ‘Ophelia’; ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ and his last and unfinished work, ‘Faust on a Stroll.’ Among his other works are ‘Wood Nymph’; ‘Tannnhäuser in Venusberg’; ‘A Scene from Les Misérables.’ His last finished picture was a ‘Flower Girl.’ All of his works are distinguished by a certain literary or poetic character which appeals to the fancy like a strain of lyric music, although the coloring sometimes runs in its vividness to the verge of extravagance.

MÜLLER, Johann Friedrich Theodor, yō hän frēd'rĭH tā'ō-dōr (better known as Fritz Müller, and also known as Müller-Desterro), German naturalist: b. near Erfurt, 31 March 1821; d. 1897. After studying at the universities of Greifswald and Berlin, he went to South America in 1848, and settled on the island of Santa Catharina, Brazil, living there the ordinary pioneer's life until appointed (1856) to teach natural history and mathematics in the Desterro gymnasium. From 1874 he was engaged for a time as collector for the museum at Rio de Janeiro. His published papers on crustaceans, insects, worms, jellyfishes, etc., were many, most of them appearing in the ‘Annals’ of the Rio de Janeiro Museum, Wiegmann's ‘Archiv für Naturgeschichte,’ and similar publications. In his ‘Facts for Darwin’ (1864), a book written under the stimulus of Darwin's ‘Origin of Species,’ he made valuable applications of Darwinianism in new fields, and won reputation among men of science for the originality and fertility of his observations and deductions. Among the more important pieces of work which he did were researches on mimicry (q.v.) and the first clear statement of the theory of recapitulation (q.v.).
