# Destruction of the Bastille

The Destruction of the Bastile was composed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1789. The poem describes his feelings of hope for the French Revolution as a catalyst for political change. Warning: template has been deprecated.
It was first published in the collected works of 1834. Stanzas 2 and 3 are missing from the surviving edition
1.
Heard’st thou yon universal cry, And dost thou linger still on Gallia’s shore? Go, Tyranny! beneath some barbarous sky Thy terrors lost and ruin’d power deplore! What tho’ through many a groaning age Was felt thy keen suspicious rage, Yet Freedom rous’d by fierce Disdain Has wildly broke thy triple chain, And like the storm which Earth’s deep entrails hide, At length has burst its way and spread the ruins wide. 10
4. In sighs their sickly breath was spent; each gleam Of Hope had ceas’d the long long day to cheer; Or if delusive, in some flitting dream, It gave them to their friends and children dear — Awaked by lordly Insult’s sound To all the doubled horrors round, Oft shrunk they from Oppression’s band While Anguish rais’d the desperate hand For silent death; or lost the mind’s controll, Thro’ every burning vein would tides of Frenzy roll. 40
5.
But cease, ye pitying bosoms, cease to bleed! Such scenes no more demand the tear humane; I see, I see! glad Liberty succeed With every patriot virtue in her train! And mark yon peasant’s raptur’d eyes; Secure he views his harvests rise; No fetter vile the mind shall know, And Eloquence shall fearless glow. Yes! Liberty the soul of Life shall reign, Shall throb in every pulse, shall flow thro’ every vein! 50
6. Shall France alone a Despot spurn? Shall she alone, O Freedom, boast thy care? Lo, round thy standard Belgia’s heroes burn, Tho’ Power’s blood-stain’d streamers fire the air, And wider yet thy influence spread, Nor e’er recline thy weary head, Till every land from pole to pole Shall boast one independent soul! And still, as erst, let favour’d Britain be First ever of the first and freest of the free! 60

​ ALBANY CONGRESS, an assembly of representatives of the most important British North American colonies, which was called together in 1754 by the British Government to consult in regard to the threatening French war. Two plans were proposed: First, a league with the Indians, which was carried out, and, second, a proposal offered by Franklin for a political union. In this a common president was proposed and a great council, representing the different colonies. This plan was rejected by the British crown because it gave too much power to the colonies, and by the colonies because it gave too much power to the crown. The significance of this congress lies in the fact that it stimulated the union of the colonies which was afterward accomplished.

# Defend Me from Myself

Source, including CC-BY-SA license:
Defend me from myself, why, Thou know’st how. Sometimes I scan Thy books, I scan them now. As the Sun peeps through their mist that may appear To us real gold – to the Sun ’tis darkness sheer. But man outdoes the Sun, he knows too well This golden veil but in his eyes may dwell.
I look into Thine eyes, Thou star’st at me I grasp Thy hands, and standing next to Thee I cry aloud: “Reveal the mystery”. Prove now Thy strength or do admit this hour That we are equal both in wit and power. Thou knowest not the season of Thy birth: Do people know when they appeared on earth? Now, Thou explorest Thine own self so vast; And what do people do? – research their past. Thy wisdom even cannot solve Thy case: And can we, people, know the human race? Thyself Thou know’st and knowest not and we Know not ourselves, immortals though like Thee! Thou knowest not Thy end, but notice, please, We know not either when we come to cease. Thou canst divide Thyself and then unite: We can divide at day and join at night. Thou art so various – our thoughts apart; As Thou art one so we are one at heart. Thou reign’st in Heav’n, we watch the starry motions; Thou rul’st the seas while we explore the oceans. Oh, Thou whose glow can neither rise nor set, Say what Thou hast that we may never get? In Heav’n and Earth Thou struggl’st with the devil, And we are endlessly at war with evil. Thou took’st the form of men, so say the sages: Was that for a while or hadst Thou one since ages?

January 21, 1965
Venerable and Holy Fathers,
In listening to the profound spiritual message conveyed by your closing addresses, and appreciating the happy outcome of your sustained efforts, Our heart has been touched by profound gladness. It should therefore be clear to the whole world from the result of your work that Your Holinesses have been guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit to accomplish your task in love and unity.
The great common tasks accomplished by this Conference in unison bestow on the true faith and true order of the Oriental Orthodox Church the admiration of the whole world.
As Solomon says, physical distance cannot be a barrier to love. Likewise, the distances among your respective countries have been abolished by the proximity of your hearts. You have thus been able to speak a single tongue and think with a single mind. We thank Almighty God for enabling us to witness the realization of Our dream in the successful outcome of this historic Conference.
We are therefore happy to express to you Our readiness, fortified by the results of this Conference, to invite you and the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and also other churches at a later date. We ardently hope that we shall meet once again in the not too distant future.
As we stated at the inauguration of this Conference, to meet together, to take council with one another, and to act in mutual co-operation, has proved a most fruitful method both in the secular and spiritual fields.
Henceforth the way is open for you to follow this fruitful path, and to this end Our help and assistance will always be forthcoming, since We support your efforts, and ideas out of an unshakable conviction that it is our spiritual duty to do so.
We are gratified in particular to note that the work of this Conference has been concerned purely with religious spiritual matters free from extraneous political considerations. This is only fine and proper, for the church, as a symbol of peace, must follow the path of peace in all parts of the world.
In this connection we are glad to note that your evangelistic mission in the world has received due emphasis, in your deliberations, together with the recognition of the Christian duty to pray for the rights of man and the peace of the world. For world peace can only be made abiding by the Grace of God, through the prayers of the Holy Fathers. The truth of this cardinal fact is evident to all mankind.
We ardently hope that Almighty God shall bless the implementation of your important resolutions and decisions, just as He has made possible the successful convening and conclusion of this historic Conference.
Holy Fathers, we have welcomed the title you have given us, Defender of the Faith, with great honour. May Almighty God grace your name. May God welcome you. We have received this title given us by you Holy Fathers, with religious reverence. May your prayers help Us in Our effort to fulfil the task entrusted to us.

| IMMEDIATE RELEASE | | No. 205-08 March 14, 2008 |
| | Defense Department Takes Custody Of A High-Value Detainee |
The Department of Defense announced today that it has custody of Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani, a high-level member of al-Qaida captured in the War on Terror and placed him under control of the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Prior to his arrival at Guantanamo Bay, he was held in CIA custody.
Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani was a close associate of Usama bin Ladin and had ties to al-Qaida organizations throughout the Middle East. He became one of bin Ladin’s most trusted facilitators and procurement specialists prior to his detention.
Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani is now under DoD custody and control and will be treated appropriately and in accordance with policy and procedures for other DoD detainees at Guantanamo. He will be treated in accordance with U.S. law and international obligations under treaties to include the Convention Against Torture, Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, the Detainee Treatment Act, the Military Commissions Act, and applicable Department of Defense directives and instructions governing detainee operations.
Just like previous detainees who have arrived at Guantanamo, he will undergo a period of in-processing to help him adjust to detention rules and procedures. He will be given an internment serial number and will undergo a combatant status review tribunal. The International Committee of the Red Cross will be granted access to this detainee.
As a result of this latest transfer, there are now approximately 280 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

# Defence of Fort McHenry (broadside)

* related portals: American literature.

This poem is used as the lyrics of the American national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner".
DEFENCE OF FORT M$^c$HENRY.
The annexed song was composed under the following circumstances—A gentleman had left Baltimore, in a flag of truce for the purpose of getting released from the British fleet, a friend of his who had been captured at Marlborough.—He went as far as the mouth of the Patuxent, and was not permitted to return lest the intended attack on Baltimore should be disclosed. He was therefore brought up the Bay to the mouth of the Patapsco, where the flag vessel was kept under the guns of a frigate, and he was compelled to witness the bombardment of Fort M$^c$Henry, which the Admiral had boasted that he would carry in a few hours, and that the city must fall. He watched the flag at the Fort through the whole day with an anxiety that can be better felt than described, until the night prevented him from seeing it. In the night he watched the Bomb Shells, and at early dawn his eye was again greeted by the proudly waving flag of his country.
Tune—Anacreon in Heaven.
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the Rockets' red glare, the Bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our Flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled Banner yet wave, O'er the Land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation, Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land, Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto—"In God is our Trust;"
And the star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

## Civilians, Not Military Investigate UFOs

By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 8, 1997 – Mass suicide in San Diego has rekindled interest in UFOs, but people should not look to the Pentagon for answers. The military no longer serves as the nation's UFO-busters.
Thirty-nine Heaven's Gate cult members reportedly believed they were leaving their earthly bodies to reawaken aboard a UFO traveling in the Hale-Bopp comet's wake. In the past, investigating UFOs was up to the U.S. Air Force. From 1947 to 1969, Project Blue Book at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, investigated 12,618 sightings. All but 701 were explained. The reminder were categorized as "unidentified" because they involved sketchy reports that could not be nailed down, said Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon.
The public was often skeptical of Air Force explanations attributing UFO sightings to swamp gas, weather balloons or other natural phenomena. Pentagon officials repeatedly denied allegations the military had evidence of extraterrestrial visits. A 1950s report from Roswell, N.M., for example, claimed military officials had recovered alien corpses from a UFO crash site.
These allegations simply are not true, Bacon said at a recent Pentagon press briefing. "We cannot substantiate the existence of UFOs, and we are not harboring the remains of UFOs," he said. "I can't be more clear about it than that."
After investigating UFO reports for more than two decades, Air Force officials reached three conclusions: No UFO reported, investigated or evaluated was ever a threat to national security; none of the unidentified sightings represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and there was no evidence unidentified sightings were extraterrestrial vehicles.
Finding no national security threat and no evidence of extraterrestrial visits, Air Force officials terminated Project Blue Book. "It just was not a good way to use taxpayers' money," Bacon said. UFO reports are now routed to private organizations, he said.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
