# Littell's Living Age/Volume 169/Issue 2190/Till Sunrise

Originally published in Spectator.
Sweeter than joy, tho' joy might abide,  Dearer than love, tho' love might endure, Is this thing: for a man to have died  For the wronged and the poor!
Let none be glad until all are free,  The song be still and the banner furled, Till all have seen what the poets see,  And foretell to the world!
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 169/Issue 2191/"O That I had Wings like a Dove!"

Originally published in Sunday Magazine.
And whither wouldst thou fly, O soul,  If thou hadst wings? Is rest beyond the seas? — at either pole?  Are there the springs, Where Heaven's pure waters bubble up below? And the far oceans answer sadly, "No!"
Tell me, O soul! where thou wouldst fly  To find thy rest? Among the stars? — the spaces of the sky? —  From east to west? And suns and stars make answer, sphere on sphere, "Back, back, O wingèd soul! Rest is not here!"
Where wouldst thou fly? To works? — to empty forms  With thy dove-wings? Will these give shelter from eternal storms —  These poor dead things? And "working" answers with a voice severe, "Turn back, mistaken soul. Rest is not here!"
Oh, heart! thou need'st not fly away  To find thy rest. Peace seeks for thee, if thou wilt stay  And just be blest. Fold up thy wings and sit at Jesus' feet; There wilt thou find thy Heaven — a rest complete!

United States Supreme Court
315 U.S. 280
Macgregor v. State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester Mass
Argued: Feb. 2-3, 1942. --- Decided: Feb 16, 1942
Petitioner brought this action to recover the premium of a life annuity contract purchased by his decedent. The suit was begun in a state court of Michigan, but was removed, because of diversity of citizenship, to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Petitioner's claim is founded on the applicability of Michigan legislation regulating the conduct of insurance business in Michigan. The District Court held that 'the contract involved herein having been executed outside the State of Michigan, the statutes of the State of Michigan relied upon by the plaintiff are not applicable'. Accordingly judgment went against petitioner. This judgment was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals, 6 Cir., 119 F.2d 148.
No decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan, or of any other court of that State, construing the relevant Michigan law has been brought to our attention. In the absence of such guidance, we shall leave undisturbed the interpretation placed upon purely local law by a Michigan federal judge of long experience and by three circuit judges whose circuit includes Michigan.
Affirmed.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1786/After the Storm

* AFTER THE STORM.
* Fair rises the morning with rosy beams
* Cresting the wave-tips with golden gleams.
* The tempest has lulled, as a child at rest
* Sobbing to sleep on its mother's breast.
* Birds with their snow-white plumage fair
* Skim o'er the waters, and sport in the air.
* The young waves are laughing along the shore,
* Tossing the tangled weeds o'er and o'er,
* Caressing the rocks in wild, glad glee,
* Triumphant in boundless liberty;
* With joy and mirth they sparkle and quiver —
* Theirs is not the sound of death's dark river —
* The voices of merry children at play:
* The fisher boy's song, as he steers his way
* O'er the dancing waves in the sunny glow,
* Breathes not an echo of dark, wild woe!
* Then is it a dream of the silent night
* Dispelled forever at morning light,
* That here was fought a terrible strife
* 'Twixt angry billows and fainting life?
* Did no one hear the cries of despair
* Borne on the moaning midnight air?
* None see the dim forms so wildly strain
* To grasp their hold of life again?
* 0 sunlit ocean! and can it be
* They fought their agony even with thee?
* And canst thou laugh, and murmur and play
* O'er golden youth and manhood grey?
* I may not help, but weep awhile,
* And turn a moment away from thy smile.
* Nought does the sorrowful story unfold,
* Ocean alone does the secret hold!
* Life plays again on the busy shore,
* Smoothly the waters ripple once more,
* But they smile for the living, and breathe not the tale
* Of the sea-bound home of those sleepers pale.
* Golden Hours.M.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1785/Taken Away

* TAKEN AWAY.
* Death came and touched with icy hand my babe,
* And changed its living loveliness to sleep;
* Changed into marble white the restless limbs,
* And hid the violet eyes in drifts of snow;
* Gathered the roses from the dimpled cheeks;
* But where they bloomed he left a pale rose-leaf,
* In token that my darling did but sleep.
* An me! the sleep that never breaks on earth.
* He wreathed a smile about the lips, and framed
* In rings of burnished gold the snowy brow;
* Then bade us bring the fairest buds in bloom,
* White stars of Bethlehem, gleaming fresh with dew,
* And strew them o'er my sleeping angel-babe,
* In memory of the Heavenly Child of yore.
* Then raised it, wrapped it in his sable robe,
* And took it home to God.
* Chambers' Journal.Sara.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1785/Letty's Globe

* LETTY'S GLOBE.
* When Letty had scarce pass'd her third glad year,
* And her young, artless words began to flow,
* One day we gave the child a color'd sphere
* Of the wide earth, that she might mark and know
* By tint and outline all its sea and land.
* She patted all the world; old empires peep'd
* Between her baby fingers; her soft hand
* Was welcome at all frontiers; how she leap'd
* And laugh'd and prattled in her pride of bliss!
* But when we turned her sweet, unlearned eye
* On our own isle, she raised a joyous cry,
* "Oh yes! I see it, — Letty's home is there!"
* And while she hid all England with a kiss,
* Bright over Europe fell her golden hair.
* Latter-Day Lyrics.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1785/Outwards or Homewards

* OUTWARDS OR HOMEWARDS.
* Still are the ships that in haven ride,
* Waiting fair winds or turn of the tide;
* Nothing they fret, though they do not get
* Out on the glorious ocean wide.
* O wild hearts, that yearn to be free,
* Look, and learn from the ships of the sea!
* Bravely the ships, in the tempest tossed,
* Buffet the waves till the sea be crossed;
* Not in despair of the haven fair,
* Though winds blow backward, and leagues be lost.
* O weary hearts, that yearn for sleep,
* Look, and learn from the ships on the deep!
* Spectator.F. W. B..
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1785/To Phidyle

* TO PHIDYLE.
* (Hor. iii. 23.)
* Incense, and flesh of swine, and this year's grain,
* At the full mo6n, with suppliant hands bestow,
* O rustic Phidyle! So naught shall know
* Thy crops of blight, thy vine of Afric bane,
* And hale the nurselings of thy flock remain
* Through the sick apple-tide. Fit victims grow
* ’Twixt holm and oak upon the Algid snow,
* Or Alban grass, that with their necks must stain
* The pontiff's axe: to thee can ill avail
* Thy little gods wfith much slain to assail, —
* And rosemary, and myrtle chapletries.
* Lay on the altar a hand pure of fault;
* More than rich gifts the powers it shall appease,
* Though pious but with meal and sparkling salt.
* Spectator.Austin Dobson.
# Lines in Protest to the Dundee Magistrates

Extracted from this source.
Fellow citizens of Bonnie Dundee Are ye aware how the magistrates have treated me? Nay, do not stare or make a fuss When I tell ye they have boycotted me from appearing in Royal Circus, Which in my opinion is a great shame, And a dishonour to the city's name.
Fellow citizens, I consider such treatment to be very hard; 'Tis proof for me they have little regard; Or else in the circumstances they would have seen to my protection; Then that would have been a proof of their affection, And how Genius ought to be rewarded, But instead my Genius has been disregarded Why should the magistrates try and punish me in such a cruel form? I never heard the like since I was born. Fellow citizens, they have taken from me a part of my living And as Christians they should have been giving; But instead of that they have prevented Baron Ziegler from engaging me, Which certainly is a disgrace to Bonnie Dundee
Who was't that immortalised the old and the new railway bridges of the Silvery Tay? Also the inauguration of the Hill of Balgay? Likewise the Silvery Tay rolling on its way? And the Newport Railway? Besides the Dundee Volunteers? Which met with their approbation and hearty cheers. And has it come to this in Bonnie Dundee? But, fellow-citizens, I will not submit to such an indignity For I am resolved to leave the city And bid the city a long farewell, For I cannot get protection in it to dwell, Therefore I'm resolved from it to flee For a prophet has no honour in his own country, And try to live in some other town Where the magistrates won't boycott me or try to keep me down
No more shall the roughs of Bonnie Dundee Get the chance of insulting or throwing missiles at me For I'm going off to the beautiful west To the fair city of Glasgow that I like the best, Where the River Clyde rolls on to the sea, And the lark and the blackbird whistles with glee. And your beautiful bridges across the River Clyde, And on your bonnie banks I'm going to reside.

As rendered in Palace of Fine Arts and Lagoon: Panama-Pacific International Exposition, 1915.
A little time, a little space away Noise and tumultuous color and the world at play!
Here 'neath the drooping branch, the low-bent marble Muse; On either hand the master-builder's columns tall; The little lake caressed by cloud and sky; The quiet of the dying daylight over all!
Man praises man's accomplishment with brazen throat; Beauty alone can charm with one low note.

Lines on the Death
of
Major Gen. E. Van Dorn,
C. S. A.
“Vile envy, with a serpent’s eye, And slander’s tongue of blackest dye, On thy pure name aspersions cast, And triumph’d o’er thy fame at last! But each dark tale of guilt and shame Shall darker fly to whence it came!”
The bold and noble Earle Van Dorn, The good old Southern brave, Has by stern death been snatched away, And lies within the grave.
He acted well his earthly part In spite of envious foes, And left behind a perfume sweet, More fragrant than the rose.
The dastard hand that struck him down, Will yet repent the day, When, like the snake within the grass, He took his life away.
One Peters, a black Lincoln man, That done the wicked crime, This damning deed shall be enrolled Upon the scroll of time.
But brave Van Dorn will never die As long as life shall last, For all true hearts will love him still, In memory of the past.
His noble deeds will shine as bright As stars within the sky, While all malicious, envious foes, Will wither, blight and die.

# Lines on Ale

Believed to have been written in 1848 at a tavern in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Fill with mingled cream and amber  I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber  Through the chamber of my brain - Quaintest thoughts - queerest fancies  Come to life and fade away; What care I how time advances?  I am drinking ale today.

# Lines on the Death of S. Oliver Torrey

Gone before us, O our brother, To the spirit-land! Vainly look we for another In thy place to stand. Who shall offer youth and beauty On the wasting shrine Of a stern and lofty duty, With a faith like thine?
Oh, thy gentle smile of greeting Who again shall see? Who amidst the solemn meeting Gaze again on thee? Who when peril gathers o'er us, Wear so calm a brow? Who, with evil men before us, So serene as thou?
Early hath the spoiler found thee, Brother of our love! Autumn's faded earth around thee, And its storms above! Evermore that turf lie lightly, And, with future showers, O'er thy slumbers fresh and brightly Blow the summer flowers
In the locks thy forehead gracing, Not a silvery streak; Nor a line of sorrow's tracing On thy fair young cheek; Eyes of light and lips of roses, Such as Hylas wore,-- Over all that curtain closes, Which shall rise no more!
Will the vigil Love is keeping Round that grave of thine, Mournfully, like Jazer weeping Over Sibmah's vine; Will the pleasant memories, swelling Gentle hearts, of thee, In the spirit's distant dwelling All unheeded be?
If the spirit ever gazes, From its journeyings, back; If the immortal ever traces O'er its mortal track; Wilt thou not, O brother, meet us Sometimes on our way, And, in hours of sadness, greet us As a spirit may?
Peace be with thee, O our brother, In the spirit-land Vainly look we for another In thy place to stand. Unto Truth and Freedom giving All thy early powers, Be thy virtues with the living, And thy spirit ours!

# Lives of the Eminent Commanders

Also known as Liber de excellentibus ducibus exterarum gentium (Book of Eminent Generals of Foreign Nations): collection of biographies of ancient generals, written in the late 1st century BCE or early 1st century CE. It is the only surviving work of Nepos, and was originally one of several volumes of the De Viris Illustribus (On Illustrious Men).
It was first mentioned historically in the 4th century, when it was presented to Emperor Theodosius I by grammarian Aemilius Probus, who claimed it as the work of his mother or father and/or grandfather. Modern scholarship suggests that the work is truly by Nepos, but that many of the biographies (with the exception of the life of Atticus) may have been abridged by Probus.
