Chapter XIX.
How even in the hour of prayer it is almost impossible to avoid sin.
Whoever then ascribes sinlessness to human nature must fight against no idle words but the witness and proof of his conscience which is on our side, and then only should maintain that he is without sin, when he finds that he is not torn away from this highest good: nay rather, whoever considering his own conscience, to say no more, finds that he has celebrated even one single service without the distraction of a single word or deed or thought, may say that he is without sin. Further because we admit that the discursive lightness of the human mind cannot get rid of these idle and empty things, we thus consequently confess with truth that we are not without sin. For with whatever care a man tries to keep his heart, he can never, owing to the resistance of the nature of the flesh, keep it according to the desire of his spirit. For however far the human mind may have advanced and progressed towards a finer purity of contemplation, so much the more will it see itself to be unclean, as it were in the mirror of its purity, because while the soul raises itself for a loftier vision and as it looks forth yearns for greater things than it performs, it is sure always to despise as inferior and worthless the things in which it is mixed up. Since a keener sight notices more; and a blameless life produces greater sorrow when found fault with; and amendment of life, and earnest striving after goodness multiplies groans and sighs. For no one can rest content with that stage to which he has advanced, and however much a man may be purified in mind, so much the more does he see himself to be foul, and find grounds for humiliation rather than for pride, and, however swiftly he may climb to greater heights, so much more does he see above him whither he is tending. Finally that chosen Apostle “whom Jesus loved,” who lay on His bosom, uttered this saying as if from the heart of the Lord:
“If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” And so if when we say that we have no sin, we have not the truth, that is Christ, in us, what good do we do except to prove ourselves by this very profession, criminals and wicked among sinners?

Chapter XX.
From whom we can learn the destruction of sin and perfection of goodness.
Lastly if you would like to investigate more thoroughly whether it is possible for human nature to attain sinlessness, from whom can we more clearly learn this than from those who “have crucified the flesh with its faults and lusts,” and to whom “the world is really crucified”? Who though they have not only utterly eradicated all faults from their hearts, but also are trying to shut out even the thought and recollection of sin, yet still day after day faithfully maintain that they cannot even for a single hour be free from spot of sin.

# Nilsson

Sidney Lanier composed this poem in New York City in 1871. In the volume of complete works The Poems of Sidney Lanier, published posthumously, this poem was characterized as one his “unrevised early works.” Nilsson, the subject of the poem, is not further identified, but it is most likely that the subject was Christina Nilsson, (1843–1921), a Swedish operatic soprano. Lanier may have heard her perform in New York and subsequently composed this poem to her.
A rose of perfect red, embossed With silver sheens of crystal frost, Yet warm, nor life nor fragrance lost.
High passion throbbing in a sphere That Art hath wrought of diamond clear, —A great heart beating in a tear.
The listening soul is full of dreams That shape the wondrous-varying themes As cries of men or plash of streams.
Or noise of summer rain-drops round That patter daintily a-ground With hints of heaven in the sound.
Or noble wind-tones chanting free Through morning-skies across the sea Wild hymns to some strange majesty.
O, if one trope, clear-cut and keen, May type the art of Song’s best queen, White-hot of soul, white-chaste of mien,
On Music’s heart doth Nilsson dwell As if a Swedish snow-flake fell Into a glowing flower-bell.

# Oregon Historical Quarterly/Volume 26/Journals of the La Verendrye Trips to the Mandan Villages on the Missouri River in 1738-39 and to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains in 1742-43

JOURNALS OF THE LA VERENDRYE TRIPS TO THE MANDAN VILLAGES ON THE MISSOURI RIVER IN 1738-39 AND TO THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS IN 1742-43
Introduction
The first of these journals was translated from the French by Douglas Brymner, Archivist, and is reprinted by permission, from a Report on Canadian Archives, being an Appendix to Report of the Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa, 1889. The second was translated by Anne H. Blegen, of the Minnesota Historical Society, from the Margry Papers, hereinafter mentioned.
The two journeys here described were the most important of their efforts to reach the Pacific. On the first, the story of which is in the narrative written by the elder Verendrye, they came from the frontier trading post, Fort La Reine (now Portage la Prairie, in Manitoba), southwesterly up the Mouse River to the south bend of the Mouse River loop, thence southwesterly to the Missouri. This is the first visit of white men among the Mandan Indians of which there is any definite record and occurred sixty-six years before Lewis and Clark were there. The next was made in the winter of 1742-43 by two of Le Verendrye's sons, Chevalier Francois and Louis Joseph. They revisited the Mandans and continued southwestely until they reached the foothills of the Rockies from where, on January 1, 1743, they reported seeing snow covered peaks to the west. This is the first report of white men having seen the Rocky Mountains in the northern part of the present United States.
An accident to their astrolabe prevented the observation of latitude on this trip, so their exact course is not known, but fortunately a lead plate, which they buried March 31, 1743, was found in 1913 on the bank of the ​Missouri River at Fort Pierre, South Dakota. That discovery assisted greatly in clearing up the uncertainty of their route, although discrepancies in dates and distances render it impossible to state positively whether their most westerly point was in southeastern Montana, northwestern Wyoming, or southwestern South Dakota.
—Ralph Budd.

I'm up and down, and round about, Yet all the world can't find me out; Though hundreds have employ'd their leisure, They never yet could find my measure. I'm found almost in every garden, Nay, in the compass of a farthing. There's neither chariot, coach, nor mill, Can move an inch except I will.
# On Witnessing a Baptism

She stood up in the meekness of a heart Resting on God, and held her fair young child Upon her bosom, with its gentle eyes Folded in sleep, as if its soul had gone To whisper the baptismal vow in heaven. The prayer went up devoutly, and the lips Of the good man glowed fervently with faith That it would be, even as he had pray'd, And the sweet child be gather'd to the fold Of Jesus. As the holy words went on Her lips mov'd silently, and tears, fast tears, Stole from beneath her lashes, and upon The forehead of the beautiful child lay soft With the baptismal water. Then I thought That, to the eye of God, that mother's tears Would be a deeper covenant, which sin And the temptations of the world, and death, Would leave unbroken, and that she would know In the clear light of heaven, how very strong The prayer which press'd them from her heart had been In leading its young spirit up to God.

Of all inhabitants on earth, To man alone I owe my birth, And yet the cow, the sheep, the bee, Are all my parents more than he: I, a virtue, strange and rare, Make the fairest look more fair; And myself, which yet is rarer, Growing old, grow still the fairer. Like sots, alone I'm dull enough, When dosed with smoke, and smear'd with snuff; But, in the midst of mirth and wine, I with double luster shine. Emblem of the Fair am I, Polish'd neck, and radiant eye; In my eye my greatest grace, Emblem of the Cyclops' race; Metals I like them subdue, Slave like them to Vulcan too; Emblem of a monarch old, Wise, and glorious to behold; Wasted he appears, and pale, Watching for the public weal: Emblem of the bashful dame, That in secret feeds her flame, Often aiding to impart All the secrets of her heart; Various is my bulk and hue, Big like Bess, and small like Sue: Now brown and burnish'd like a nut, At other times a very slut; Often fair, and soft and tender, Taper, tall, and smooth, and slender: Like Flora, deck'd with various flowers Like Phoebus, guardian of the hours: But whatever be my dress, Greater be my size or less, Swelling be my shape or small Like thyself I shine in all. Clouded if my face is seen, My complexion wan and green, Languid like a love-sick maid, Steel affords me present aid. Soon or late, my date is done, As my thread of life is spun; Yet to cut the fatal thread Oft revives my drooping head; Yet I perish in my prime, Seldom by the death of time; Die like lovers as they gaze, Die for those I live to please; Pine unpitied to my urn, Nor warm the fair for whom I burn; Unpitied, unlamented too, Die like all that look on you.

Begotten, and born, and dying with noise, The terror of women, and pleasure of boys, Like the fiction of poets concerning the wind, I'm chiefly unruly when strongest confined. For silver and gold I don't trouble my head, But all I delight in is pieces of lead; Except when I trade with a ship or a town, Why then I make pieces of iron go down. One property more I would have you remark, No lady was ever more fond of a spark; The moment I get one my soul's all a-fire, And I roar out my joy, and in transport expire.

Though I, alas! a prisoner be, My trade is prisoners to set free. No slave his lord's commands obeys With such insinuating ways. My genius piercing, sharp, and bright, Wherein the men of wit delight. The clergy keep me for their ease, And turn and wind me as they please. A new and wondrous art I show Of raising spirits from below; In scarlet some, and some in white; They rise, walk round, yet never fright In at each mouth the spirits pass, Distinctly seen as through a glass. O'er head and body make a rout, And drive at last all secrets out; And still, the more I show my art, The more they open every heart. A greater chemist none than I Who, from materials hard and dry, Have taught men to extract with skill More precious juice than from a still. Although I'm often out of case, I'm not ashamed to show my face. Though at the tables of the great I near the sideboard take my seat; Yet the plain 'squire, when dinner's done, Is never pleased till I make one; He kindly bids me near him stand, And often takes me by the hand. I twice a-day a-hunting go, And never fail to seize my foe; And when I have him by the poll, I drag him upward from his hole; Though some are of so stubborn kind, I'm forced to leave a limb behind. I hourly wait some fatal end; For I can break, but scorn to bend.
