# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/Haroun er Reshid and the Three Poets

First-level story, told by Shehrzad
HAROUN ER RESHID AND THE THREE POETS.
The Khalif Haroun er Reshid was exceeding restless one night; so he rose and walked about his palace, till he happened on a damsel overcome with wine. Now he was greatly enamoured of this damsel; so he toyed with her and pulled her to him, whereupon her girdle fell down and her trousers were unloosed and he besought her of amorous dalliance. But she said to him, ‘O Commander of the ​Faithful, wait till to-morrow night, for I am unprepared for thee, knowing not of thy coming.’ So he left her and went away.
On the morrow, he sent a page to her to announce his visit to her apartment; but she sent back to him, saying, ‘The day obliterates the promise of the night.’ So he said to his minions, ‘Make me somewhat of verse, introducing these words, “The day obliterates the promise of the night.”’ ‘We hear and obey,’ answered they; and Er Recashi came forward and recited the following:
By Allah, an thou feltst my longing and my pain, Repose had turned away from thee and taken flight. A maid hath made me love-distraught, nor visiting Nor being visited, a sad and love-lorn wight. She promised me her grace, then turned away and said, “The day obliterates the promise of the night.”
Then Abou Musab came forward and recited these verses:
When wilt thou put away this dotage from thy spright? Thy heart is dazed and rest to thee forbidden quite. Is’t not enough for thee to have a weeping eye And vitals still on fire for memory and despite? For self-conceit, indeed, he laugheth, when he saith, “The day obliterates the promise of the night.”
Last came Abou Nuwas and recited the following:
Love was prolonged and far was union out of sight, Nor skilled it aught to feign aversion and despite. One day, she came into the palace, drunk with wine, But even her drunkenness with pudour was bedight. Her upper garments dropped and left her shoulders bare And loosened trousers showed the dwelling of delight; Yea, and the breeze shook hips, full heavy, and a shape, As ’twere a branch, whereon pomegranates twain unite. “Give me a tryst,” quoth I; and she replied, “The place Of visiting will be to-morrow clean and right.” Next day, I came and said, “Thy promise;” but quoth she, “The day obliterates the promise of the night.”
​The Khalif bestowed a myriad each on Er Recashi and Abou Musab, but bade strike off Abou Nuwas’s head, saying, ‘Thou wast with us yesternight in the palace.’ ‘By Allah,’ answered the poet, ‘I slept not but in my own house! I was directed to what I said by thine own words as to the subject of the poem; and indeed quoth God the Most High (and He is the truest of all speakers), “As for poets (devils ensue them!) dost thou not see how they run wild in each valley and say that they do not?”’ So the Khalif forgave him and bestowed on him two myriads of gold.

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/El Mutelemmis and His Wife Umeimeh

First-level story, told by Shehrzad
EL MUTELEMMIS AND HIS WIFE UMEIMEH.
It is related that El Mutelemmis once fled from En Numan ben Mundhir and was absent so long that the folk deemed him dead. Now he had a handsome wife, Umeimeh by name, and her family pressed her to marry again; but she refused, for that she loved her husband El Mutelemmis very dearly. However, they were instant with her, because of the multitude of her suitors, and importuned her till she at last reluctantly consented and they married her to a man of her own tribe.
On the night of the wedding, El Mutelemmis came back and hearing in the camp a noise of pipes and tabrets and seeing signs of festival, asked some of the children what was toward, to which they replied, ‘They have married Umeimeh, widow of El Mutelemmis, to such an one, and he goes in to her this night.’ When he heard this, he made shift to enter the house with the women and saw ​there the bride seated on her throne. By and by, the bridegroom came up to her, whereupon she sighed heavily and weeping, recited the following verses:
Ah would, (but many are the shifts of good and evil fate), I knew in what far land thou art, O Mutelemmis mine!
Now El Mutelemmis was a renowned poet: so he answered her with the following verse:
Right near at hand, Umeimeh! Know, whene’er the caravan Halted, I never ceased for thee with longing heart to pine.
When the bridegroom heard this, he guessed how the case stood and went forth from among them in haste, repeating the following verse:
I was in luck, but now I’m fall’n into the contrary. A hospitable house and room your reknit loves enshrine!
So El Mutelemmis took his wife again and abode with her in all delight and solace of life, till death parted them. And glory be to Him at whose command the earth and the heavens shall arise!

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/Haroun er Reshid and the two Slave-Girls

First-level story, told by Shehrzad
HAROUN ER RESHID AND THE TWO SLAVE-GIRLS.
The Khalif Haroun er Reshid lay one night between two slave-girls, one from Medina and the other from Cufa, and the latter rubbed his hands, whilst the former rubbed his feet and made his yard to stand up. Quoth the Cufan girl, ‘I see thou wouldst keep the whole of the stock-in-trade to thyself; give me my share of it.’ And the other answered, ‘I have been told by Malik, on the authority of Hisham ibn Orweh, who had it of his [grand]father, that the Prophet said, “Whoso bringeth the dead to life, it is his.”’ But the Cufan took her unawares and pushing her away, took it all in her own hand and said, ‘El Aamesh tells us, on the authority of Kheithemeh, who had it of Abdallah ben Mesoud, that the Prophet said, “Game belongeth to him who taketh it, not to him who raiseth it.”’

# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/El Hejjaj and the Pious Man

First-level story, told by Shehrzad
EL HEJJAJ AND THE PIOUS MAN.
It is told that El Hejjaj ben Yousuf eth Thekefi had been long in pursuit of a certain man of the notables, and when he [was at last taken and] came before him, he said to him, ‘O enemy of God, He hath given thee into my hand.’ Then he bade his men hale him to prison and said to them, ‘Lay him in strait and heavy fetters and build a cage over him, that he may not come forth of it nor any go in to him.’ So they bore him to prison and summoned the blacksmith, who came and laid him in irons. Every time the smith gave a stroke with his hammer, the prisoner raised his eyes to heaven and said, ‘Verily, to Him belong creation and commandment!’ Then they built the cage over him and left him therein, deserted and lonely, ​whereupon longing and consternation entered into him and the tongue of his case recited the following verses:
Wish of the wistful, unto Thee my wishes tend; My trust is in Thy grace, that all doth comprehend. My case from Thee unhidden is; a look from Thee Is all the goal of my desires, my wishes’ end. They’ve prisoned me and tried me sore with many a woe: Woe’s me, my strangerhood forlorn, without a friend! Lone as I am, the thought of Thee my solace is And cheer, though slumber from mine eyes my woes forfend. Ay, an Thou but accept of me, I reck not, I; What in my heart Thou seest of Thee right well is kenned.
At nightfall, the gaoler left his men to watch him and went to his house. On the morrow, when he repaired to the prison, he found the prisoner gone and the fetters lying on the ground; whereat he was affrighted and made sure of death. So he returned to his house and bade his family farewell, after which he took his shroud and the perfumes for his corpse, in his sleeve, and went in to El Hejjaj. The latter smelt the perfumes and said, ‘What is that?’ ‘O my lord,’ replied the gaoler, ‘it is I who have brought it.’ ‘And what moved thee to that?’ asked the governor; whereupon he told him his case, Night cccclxxi.and El Hejjaj said, ‘Out on thee! Didst thou hear him say aught?’ ‘Yes,’ answered the gaoler. ‘Whilst the blacksmith was riveting his irons, he ceased not to look up to heaven and say, “Verily to Him belong creation and commandment.”’ ‘Woe to thee!’ rejoined El Hejjaj. ‘Dost thou not know that He, on whom he called in thy presence, delivered him in thine absence?’ And the tongue of the case recited the following verses on the subject:
O Lord, how many a trouble Thou away from me hast done! Yea, but for Thee I should nor sit nor stand beneath the sun. Ay, from how many a parlous case, that I might not endure, Hast Thou, indeed, delivered me, how many and many an one!

# The Clansman (1905)/Book 2/Chapter 3

WITHIN two weeks after the departure of Mrs. Cameron and Margaret, the wounded soldier had left the hospital with Elsie's hand resting on his arm and her keen eyes watching his faltering steps. She had promised Margaret to take her place until he was strong again. She was afraid to ask herself the meaning of the songs that were welling up from the depth of her own soul. She told herself again and again that she was fulfilling her ideal of unselfish human service.
Ben's recovery was rapid, and he soon began to give evidence of his boundless joy in the mere fact of life.
He utterly refused to believe his father in danger.
"What, my dad a conspirator, an assassin!" he cried, with a laugh. "Why, he wouldn't kill a flea without apologising to it. And as for plots and dark secrets, he never had a secret in his life and couldn't keep one if he had it. My mother keeps all the family secrets. Crime couldn't stick to him any more than dirty water to a duck's back!"
"But we must secure his release on parole, that he may defend himself."
"Of course. But we won't cross any bridges till we come to them. I never saw things so bad they couldn't ​be worse. Just think what I've been through. The war's over. Don't worry."
He looked at her tenderly.
"Get that banjo and play 'Get Out of the Wilderness!'"
His spirit was contagious and his good-humour resistless. Elsie spent the days of his convalescence in an unconscious glow of pleasure in his companionship. His handsome boyish face, his bearing, his whole personality, invited frankness and intimacy. It was a divine gift, this magnetism, the subtle meeting of quick intelligence, tact, and sympathy. His voice was tender and penetrating, with soft caresses in its tones. His vision of life was large and generous, with a splendid carelessness about little things that didn't count. Each day Elsie saw new and striking traits of his character which drew her.
"What will we do if Stanton arrests you one of these fine days?" she asked him one day.
"Afraid they'll nab me for something!" he exclaimed. "Well, that is a joke! Don't you worry. The Yankees know who to fool with. I licked 'em too many times for them to bother me any more."
"I was under the impression that you got licked," Elsie observed.
"Don't you believe it. We wore ourselves out whipping the other fellows."
Elsie smiled, took up the banjo, and asked him to sing while she played.
She had no idea that he could sing, yet to her surprise he sang his camp-songs boldly, tenderly, and with deep, expressive feeling.
​As the girl listened, the memory of the horrible hours of suspense she had spent with his mother when his unconscious life hung on a thread came trooping back into her heart and a tear dimmed her eyes.
And he began to look at her with a new wonder and joy slowly growing in his soul.
# The Ancient Science of Numbers/Chapter 6

CHAPTER VI. THE KEYNOTES
It is the opinion of many esoteric philosophers that every human being vibrates in harmony to a particular musical note, and that, when this note has once been found, it may be made to exert a strong influence towards the improvement of existing conditions. As this note, known as the “Keynote,” is a gift at birth, its vibratory forces are felt almost exclusively in the health.
The list of the possible Keynotes, with their corresponding BIRTH NUMBERS, is as follows:
EIGHTH TABLE
Musical Keynotes, Triad of 1–5–7
| THE ONES. | THE FIVES. | THE SEVENS. |
| 01 C Major. | 05 G Major. | 07 B Major. |
| 10 C-sharp Major. | 14 A-flat Major. | 16 C Major. |
| 19 C minor. | 23 G minor. | 25 B minor. |
| 28 C-flat Major. |
Musical Keynotes, Triad of 2–4–8
| THE TWOS | THE FOURS | THE EIGHTS |
| 02 D. | 04 F Major. | 08 C Major. |
| 11 D-sharp minor. | 13 F-sharp Major. | 17 C-sharp Major. |
| 20 D minor. | 22 F minor. | 26 C minor. |
| 29 D-flat minor. | 31 E Major. |
Musical Keynotes, Triad of 3–6–9
| THE THREES | THE SIXES | THE NINES |
| 03 E Major. | 06 A Major. | 0D Major. |
| 12 F Major. | 15 B-flat Major. | 18 E-flat Major. |
| 21 E minor. | 24 A minor. | 27 D minor. |
| 30 E-flat Major. |
Thus, a person who is born on the 3rd of the month has E Major as his Keynote; one born on the 26th, has C minor; the 14th, A-flat Major, etc.
Those who have derived the greatest degree of benefit from the use of the musical keynotes insist that they must be used, or played, every day, and that, if this law is not obeyed, the penalty will be felt in the complete loss of their health-giving vibrations. Even though one is not in any sense a musician, he may still ​take advantage of this law. For example, let him ask some more musical person to teach him how to pick out the little triad, or chord, of his own individual key, and he will require no further knowledge of music, for he will then be able to strike this chord at least once each day. If a person whose musical keynote is Major should be an individual who Is easily excited, however, it will be better for him to play the chord in the minor. If one whose musical keynote is in the minor is given to periods of marked depression, the Major of the same key should be substituted.
If a person is studying music, and is practicing, it is frequently advisable to put all his exercises in his own key at the beginning of the practice hour, that he may commence his task in this harmonious key, and work out from that. Many music teachers have already discovered that this is the best and quickest method of putting their pupils in harmony with the work to be performed, and they are now ​taking advantage of this psychic fact in all difficult instructions.
While it is true, as has been suggested, that the musical keynotes apply almost exclusively to the health, the daily use of this chord, when the notes are harmonious, induces harmony in all directions. In periods of mental excitement, peace and quiet may be induced if one will resort to this best of all seditives. In periods of depression, nothing will restore the equilibrium more quickly or surely.

Bring me men to match my mountains;
 Bring me men to match my plains, —  Men with empires in their purpose,
 And new eras in their brains.
 Bring me men to match my praries,
 Men to match my inland seas,
 Men whose thought shall pave a highway
 Up to ampler destinies;
 Pioneers to clear Thought's marshlands,
 And to cleanse old Error's fen;
 Bring me men to match my mountains —  Bring me men!
 Bring me men to match my forests,
 Strong to fight the storm and blast,
 Branching toward the skyey future,
 Rooted in the fertile past.
 Bring me men to match my valleys,
 Tolerant of sun and snow,
 Men within whose fruitful purpose
 Time's consummate blooms shall grow.
 Men to tame the tigerish instincts
 Of the lair and cave and den,
 Cleans the dragon slime of Nature —  Bring me men!
 Bring me men to match my rivers,
 Continent cleavers, flowing free,
 Drawn by the eternal madness
 To be mingled with the sea;
 Men of oceanic impulse,
 Men whose moral currents sweep
 Toward the wide-enfolding ocean
 Of an undiscovered deep;
 Men who feel the strong pulsation
 Of the Central Sea, and then
 Time their currents to its earth throb —  Bring me men!

# The Coming Colony/Appendix B

APPENDIX B.
COST OF LIVING.
As elsewhere in the Australian colonies, whilst board and lodging of a more or less rough order are cheap, 10s. to 20s. per week for single men, house rent is proportionately dear; the average rent of a three-roomed house in Perth and other towns being 7s. to 10s. per week, or in the country 5s. per week; and of a five-roomed one 12s. in towns and 9s. in the country.
The retail price of provisions in Perth at per lb. is roughly as follows:—
Bacon, 1s. to 1s. 4d. Beef, 6d. to 7d. Bread, 2-lb. loaf, 3d. to 3½d. Butter, 1s. to 2s. Cheese, 9d. to 1s. Coffee, 1s. 6d. Milk, per quart, 5d. to 6d. Mutton, 4d. to 6d. Pork, 8d. to 10d. Potatoes, per stone, 1s. Sugar, 3d. to 4½d. Tobacco, 5s. to 6s. 6d. Tea, 1s. 6d. to 2s. 6d.
These rates, except for meat, are greatly enhanced on the goldfields and remote country locations. As regards clothing, it is estimated as being 10 to 20 per cent. dearer than in England.
