United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 385
The S. B. Wheeler
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts; the case being thus:
About one o'clock at night, on the 18th of July, 1871, a collision occurred in the Vineyard Sound, between the schooners C. F. Beebe and S. B. Wheeler, by which the Beebe was sunk and totally lost. Hereupon her owners libelled the Wheeler in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
The libel alleged that the crew of the Beebe saw the green light of the other schooner something more than a mile off, and over their starboard bow; that the Beebe kept her course until it became apparent that the Wheeler had changed and was still changing her course to starboard, so as to make a collision inevitable, and until she was within a hundred feet of the Wheeler, when the helm of the latter was put to starboard, as the only thing that could be done with any hope of escaping the collision or relieving the force of the blow; that under this change of helm she had fallen off about two points, when the Wheeler struck her amidships on the starboard side and cut her in two.
The answer set up that a red light was seen from the Wheeler about a mile distant and on the port bow; that the master, who was in charge of the deck, kept his vessel off until the light was two points on his port bow, and then ordered the helm to be steadied, and that afterwards, when said light was about seventy yards distant, the vessel bearing the light, and which proved to be the Beebe, suddenly fell away from the wind in the direction of the Wheeler; that the helm of the latter was immediately put hard aport, and that she fell away; but that the Beebe came down across her bows rendering a collision unavoidable.
After hearing numerous witnesses on both sides (the testimony being conflicting, and that of the claimants disclosing the fact that their vessel had no lookout at its bow, and no question of law being raised in the case), the District Court having found various facts as established by the evidence, dismissed the libel with costs, and on appeal the Circuit Court affirmed the decree. Thereupon the libellants appealed to this court, where the matter was again elaborately argued on the evidence.
Mr. J. C. Dodge, for the appellants; Messrs. G. A. Somerby and L. S. Dabney, contra.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

The S. B. Wheeler
Questions of fact only are presented by this appeal. There is no dispute as to the law. Two courts have already found against the appellants. It has been over and over again ruled by this court that under such circumstances the burden is on the appellant to show the error. Every presumption is in favor of the decrees below. We ought not to reverse unless the error is clear. Such is not the case here.
It is, indeed, urged that the claimants, by their own proof, established the fact that there was no lookout at the bow of the Wheeler when the collision occurred. This is so, but whether that was a contributing fault was a question of fact, and that has been twice found against the appellants.
We are entirely satisfied with all the findings.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

# The Seasons (Thomson)/Preface

Preface,
I have very little to inform the Reader concerning this new edition of a poet whose immortal fame is so universally established in every country, where due honour is paid to genius, and uncommon natural endowments. It being chiefly intended for the use of schools, correctness and cheapness have been more consulted than that elegance and splendour, which too often exceeds the narrow circumstances of the diligent, but indigent youth.
The best editions have been carefully compared, as well these that appeared during the author's life as those since his death: the variations of the text have been constantly attended to, the differences duly weighed, and those readings chosen and oftentimes replaced, that had been either corrupted by the carelessness and inadvertency of former editors, or ​altered for the worse without taste and critical judgment. I submit them to the decision of able critics; and should think myself highly rewarded for many a laborious and toilsome hour, if by this new edition the unrivalled masterpiece of the British Bard should be more universally spread and acknowledged amongst my countrymen; and the favourite of the Muses, the inimitable painter of Nature be more studied in the original.
Murdoch's life of the author, and Aikins excellent Essay on the plan and character of the poem will I hope, meet with a favourable reception, they never having been printed in Germany. Notwithstanding my unremitted assiduity and strict accuracy a few errors of the press may have crept in, which, I flatter myself, the Reader will kindly excuse.
The Editor.

TO
CHRISTIAN DANIEL EBELING,
Professor of History and of the greek
language at the Gymnasium
in Hamburg.
SIR
Your known goodness gives my presumption the hopes of a pardon, for prefixing to this new edition of the immortal work of an author, whose beauties you can, so exquisitely relish in the original, the Name of a Man, whose character and great universal learning deservedly are the pride of my countrymen, and the boast of all that have the honour of your acquaintance.
I could not deny myself the satisfaction of laying hold on this first opportunity of alluring you of my sincerest esteem, and declaring at the same time to the world, the infinite obligations I have to you.
​To know you, and not love your goodness would betray a total want of feeling and humanity in any one. In me it would amount to the highest ingratitude if I could ever be insensible or unmindful of that great degree of kindness and friendship, you have been pleased to show me, ever since I have been a nearer witness and ardent admirer of your worth. But my pen cannot accompany my heart when I speak, and whilst I am pleasing myself I fear to offend you. Be pleased therefore to accept of these few lines as an acknowledgment of the favour you have shown me, and a pledge of the sincere gratitude and perfect regard of
SIR
Your most obliged
humble servant
John Timaeus.
# The Seasons (Thomson)/Ode on the Death of Mr. Thomson

ODE
ON THE
DEATH of Mr. THOMSON.
By Mr. COLLINS.
(The scene of the following stanzas is supposed to lie on the Thames near Richmond.)
IN yonder grave a Druid lies
Where slowly winds the stealing wave!
The year’s best sweets shall duteous rise
To deck its Poet's sylvan grave!   In yon deep bed of whispering reeds
His airy harp shall now be laid,
That he, whose heart in sorrow bleeds,
May love thro' life the soothing shade.   Then maids and youths shall linger here,
And while its sounds at distance swell,
Shall sadly seem in Pity’s ear,
To hear the Woodland Pilgrim’s knell.   Remembrance oft shall haunt the shore
When Thames in summer wreaths is drest,
And oft suspend the dashing oar
To bid his gentle spirit rest!
And oft as Ease and Health retire To breezy lawn, or forest deep, The friend shall view yon whitening spire, And 'mid the varied landscape weep.
But Thou, who own'st that earthy bed, Ah! what will every dirge avail? Or tears which Love and Pity shed That mourn beneath the gliding sail!
Yet lives there one, whose heedless eye, Shall scorn thy pale shrine glimm'ring near? With him, sweet bard, may Fancy die, And Joy desert the blooming year.
But thou, lorn stream, whose sullen tide No sedge-crown'd Sisters now attend, Now waft me from the green hill's side Whose cold turf hides the buried friend!
And see the fairy valleys fade, Dun Night has veil'd the solemn view! Yet once again, dear parted shade, Meek Natur's Child, again adieu!
The genial meads assign'd to bless Thy life, shall mourn thy early doom, Their hinds, and shepherd-girls shall dress With simple hands thy rural tomb.
Long, long, thy stone, and pointed clay, Shall melt the musing Briton's eyes, O! vales, and wild woods, shall he say, In yonder grave Your Druid lies!
* ↑ The harp of Æolus, of which see a description in the Castle of Indolence.

The first volume of The Philological Museum appeared in 1831, but lasted only six volumes. Volume 2, published in 1833, is notable for Connop Thirlwall's masterly paper "On the Irony of Sophocles", which pioneered the concept of dramatic irony.

PROLOGUE TO DIPSYCHUS.
'I hope it is in good plain verse,' said my uncle, 'none of your hurry-scurry anapæsts, as you call them, in lines which sober people read for plain heroics. Nothing is more disagreeable than to say a line over two, or, it may be, three or four times, and at last not be sure that there are not three or four ways of reading, each as good and as much intended as another. Simplex duntaxat et unum. But you young people think Horace and your uncles old fools.'
'Certainly, my dear sir,' said I; 'that is, I mean, Horace and my uncle are perfectly right. Still, there is an instructed ear and an uninstructed. A rude taste for identical recurrences would exact sing-song from "Paradise Lost," and grumble because "Il Penseroso" doesn't run like a nursery rhyme.' 'Well, well,' said my uncle, 'sunt certi denique fines, no doubt. So commence, my young Piso, while Aristarchus is tolerably wakeful, and do not waste by your logic the fund you will want for your poetry.'

GENESIS XXIV
Who is this man that walketh in the field, O Eleazar, steward to my lord?
And Eleazar answered her and said, Daughter of Bethuel, it is other none But my lord Isaac, son unto my lord, Who, as his wont is, walketh in the field, In the hour of evening, meditating there.
Therefore Rebekah basted where she sat, And from her camel 'lighting to the earth, Sought for a veil and put it on her face.
But Isaac also, walking in the field, Saw from afar a company that came, Camels, and a seat as where a woman sat; Wherefore he came and met them on the way.
Whom, when Rebekah saw, she came before, Saying, Behold the handmaid of my lord; Who, for my lord's sake, travel from my land.
But he said, O thou blessed of our God, Come, for the tent is eager for thy face. Shall not thy husband, be unto thee more than Hundreds of kinsmen living in thy land?
And Eleazar answered, Thus and thus, Even according as thy father bade, Did we; and thus and thus it came to pass: Lo! is not this Rebekah, Bethuel's child.
And, as he ended, Isaac spoke and said, Surely my heart went with you on the way, When with the beasts ye came unto the place.
Truly, O child of Nahor, I was there, When to thy mother and thy mother's son Thou madest answer, saying, I will go. And Isaac brought her to his mother's tent.

Matthew and Mark and Luke and holy John Evanished all and gone! Yea, he that erst his dusky curtains quitting, Thro' Eastern pictured panes his level beams transmitting, With gorgeous portraits blent, On them his glories intercepted spent. Southwestering now, thro' windows plainly glassed, On the inside face his radiance keen hath cast, And in the lustre lost, invisible and gone, Are, say you, Matthew, Mark and Luke and holy John? Lost, is it, lost, to be recovered never? However, The place of worship the meantime with light Is, if less richly, more sincerely bright, And in blue skies the Orb is manifest to sight.

EASTER DAY. II
So in the sinful streets, abstracted and alone, I with my secret self held communing of mine own. So in the southern city spake the tongue Of one that somewhat overwildly sung, But in a later hour I sat and heard Another voice that spake—another graver word. Weep not, it bade, whatever hath been said, Though He be dead, He is not dead. In the true creed He is yet risen indeed; Christ is yet risen.
Weep not beside His tomb, Ye women unto whom He was great comfort and yet greater grief; Nor ye, ye faithful few that wont with Him to roam, Seek sadly what for Him ye left, go hopeless to your home; Nor ye despair, ye sharers yet to be of their belief; Though He be dead, He is not dead, Nor gone, though fled, Not lost, though vanished; Though He return not, though He lies and moulders low; In the true creed He is yet risen indeed; Christ is yet risen.
Sit if ye will, sit down upon the ground, Yet not to weep and wail, but calmly look around.
Whate'er befel, Earth is not hell; Now, too, as when it first began, Life is yet life, and man is man. For all that breathe beneath the heaven's high cope, Joy with grief mixes, with despondence hope. Hope conquers cowardice, joy grief; Or at least, faith unbelief. Though dead, not dead; Not gone, though fled; Not lost, though vanished. In the great gospel and true creed, He is yet risen indeed; Christ is yet risen.

# The Sins of the Cities of the Plain/Tribadism

Tribadism
Dogging the heels of sodomy walks tribadism, a vice which every man in his heart looks on with kindly eyes. This sister vice appears to have existed from all ages. It is at least as old as ​sodomy, and still lives, aye, flourishes amongst the supposed modest maidens of our day. In all civilized Europe it exists among single women who have been debarred from men, generally in a narrowed sense, rarely taking other form than mutual frigging. But amongst some prostitutes of the upper class, and a few matrons of educated vicious tastes, it flourishes, the Frenchwomen bearing the palm. In the latter case gamahuching comes into free play; one woman loves another as jealously as ever a man could, and we have known instances in England of great unhappiness ensuing from one tribade giving up her inamorata for another man or woman; and in one memorable instance the forlorn one taking a revenge that very nearly involved the ruin of both.
​The Count de Grammont mentions an instance in his memoirs of Miss Hobart, a maid of honour at the court of Charles the Second, being forbidden the royal presence for endeavouring to violate another maid of honour.
It is not clear how she was doing it, and it certainly is a mystery why that debauched monarch should have been so severe upon her.
No one can read Juvenal without being convinced that in Martial's time tribadism flourished in Rome. His descriptions of the feasts of the Bona Dea leave no doubt of it.
If he did leave any doubt Martial clears it up by the pointedness of some of his epigrams. It flourished even to women with enlarged clitorises (hermaphrodites) having boys.
​This is perfectly rational. Sodomy and tribadism go hand in hand. Where one reigns the other flourishes, and in their development they are nearly identical vices. Boys debarred from women frig themselves, frig each other, and then have each other, and are fortunate if they do not grow up to be sodomites. Girls debarred from men do the same with their own sex, and bloom into perfect tribades by a gamahuche.
This is one end of the stick; the other is as when a man, having plunged into all the possible debauchery with females, at last resorts to sodomy, or where a woman, say a prostitute of good position with many friends, gets satiated and tired when she has exhausted every letch of the male fancy; then she turns to her own sex for a new and piquant pleasure.
​It is not long since we were sitting in a café in the Haymarket when a Frenchwoman of about thirty walked across the room to a young English girl and offered her ten shillings to be allowed to kiss her cunt.

# The Secret Rose

Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose, Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those Who sought thee in the Holy Sepulchre, Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir And tumult of defeated dreams; and deep Among pale eyelids, heavy with the sleep Men have named beauty. Thy great leaves enfold The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes Saw the Pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise In druid vapour and make the torches dim; Till vain frenzy awoke and he died; and him Who met Fand walking among flaming dew By a grey shore where the wind never blew, And lost the world and Emer for a kiss; And him who drove the gods out of there liss, And till a hundred morns had flowered red Feasted, and wept the barrows of his dead; And the proud dreaming king who flung the crown And sorrow away, and calling bard and clown Dwelt among wine-stained wanderers in deep woods; And him who sold tillage, and house, and goods, And sought through lands and islands numberless years, Until he found, with laughter and with tears, A woman of so shining loveliness That men threshed corn at midnight by a tress, A little stolen tress. I, too, await The hour of thy great wind of love and hate. When shall the stars be blown about the sky, Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die? Surely thine hour has come, thy great wind blows, Far-off, most secret, and inviolate Rose?
