# The Soul Of A Century/Prologue to Slava's daughter

PROLOGUE TO SLAVA’S DAUGHTER (Excerpts)
Here lies this ancestral land before my saddened tear-dimmed eyes, My nation’s cradle once, today its burial casket. Withhold your steps! For hallowed is the ground you tread upon. To the heavens raise your eyes, Tatra’s bewildered son; Or better, cling with all might to yonder aged oak That weathered the ravage of time unto this very day. More cruel than time is a man who raises a punishing hand To strike you fair Slavia, within your own domain. Yea, worse than destructive wars, more destructive than tempest or flame Is one who blinded with hate, plots evil against own kin. Oh aged epochs of yore, spread all around like the night, Oh suffering, ancient lands, scenes of both glory and shame! From Labe’s treacherous shores to where the Vistula flows, From the Danube’s verdant banks to where the Baltic foams. Where echoed the mellow words of courageous peaceful Slavs Now lifeless and mute this voice, a victim of envy and hate. Who is to blame for these crimes that cry to the heavens above? Who in assaulting one, insulted all nations and men? Blush envious Teuton whose lands bordered the homes of the Slavs, Your hands are stained with the guilt of these most callous crimes.
Where are your dwellings today, Slav nations who peopled these lands? Who drank of the distant sea, or yon, where the Saale flows? Where are you peaceful Sorbs, descendants of Abodrite tribes? Where are the ancient Vilcs, grandchildren of the Uckers of old? I gaze to the right, far and wide, then leftward I cast my eyes, But in vain I search for Slavs in these hoary Slavic lands. Tell me oh tree, who has served as their natural sacred shrine, Beneath whose crown they burnt offerings to ancient Gods, Where are these nations today? Where are their rulers and towns? Where are they who engendered life in these barren lands of the North?
Henceforth be stilled oh grief! Toward the future direct your gaze! With hopeful, sunlit eyes dispel the clouds of your thought. There is no greater vice than to bemoan one’s misfortune and loss. Much better fares he whose deeds quiet the angered Gods. Hope rises from active hands, not from a saddened eye, Apparent evil may oft be turned to some needed good. Though a man may be easily swayed, all men cannot be misled; The blunders and errors of a few, are oft for the good of the whole. Time changes all, even time; to victory it leads the Truth. The errors of blundering ages one fleeting moment may change.

# The Soul Of A Century/Satanella

SATANELLA
(Excerpts)
As within a castle’s ruins Steals a full moon’s shining ray; As within a forest’s shadows Colored butterfly has strayed, As within a rusty goblet Falls a drop of golden wine; Thus within my saddened bosom And within my orphand heart Gleamed a ray of love eternal, Strayed a butterfly of dreams, Fell a droplet of my musing; Tell me, is there aught yet needed To complete this song of mine? . . .
Roderigo Gonvazales, Knight of the Johannite order, Wandered on his morning vigil As had been his daily custom; For the Isle of Rhodes was a Bulwark of the Christian nations Against the Godless Turkish heathen.
As he left the castle portals He beheld a barefoot child there Leaning ’gainst the massive entrance. Tender body as if breathed In a gaily colored bodice, And her black hair hast’ly gathered Underneath a snow-white kerchief.
Soon as Roderigo reached her, Smilingly she lifted towards him Eyes that burned as sparks of fire, And she handed him a flow’ret, Mountain flowers strangely scented, Tied together with white ribbons.
Roderigo smiled in greeting, Kissed the gaily colored blossoms, Leaning over till his curls Lightly touched upon her forehead, From his lips escaped a question As the scent escapes from flowers:
“Pretty child, what do they call you?” “Sir, they call me Satanella!” “Satanella? . . . What a strange name.” Gallantly the knight retorted, “But full worthy that an angel Bow before your Godly beauty!”
For a long while, all was quiet, Distant waters barely rippled, Darkened forests barely whispered. Just the thicket faintly trembled With the earth’s sweet heavy breathing, Just two lips that faintly trembled ’neath a cataract of kisses As a lotus flower trembles ’neath the faithful moon’s caressing, As the rolling ocean trembles ’neath the rays of golden sunshine.
“Tell me, do you still remember,” —softly asks the happy lover— “Years ago when shyly, coyly, I dared kiss the blooms you offered? And today, see what a difference, Now I kiss your tan-hued forehead, Supple cheeks and two lips smiling, Full-formed breasts and two bare ankles, Your moist eyes and raven tresses; All of you now is a flower And a lip now, all my being, Satanella! Satanella!” ****
“Tell me, do you still remember,” —answers she her knightly lover— “Years ago, when shyly, coyly I dared rest one eye upon you? And today, see what a difference, Both my eyes I dare submerse now And with them my soul is sinking, Everlastingly submersing In your eyes, blue as an ocean, In your eyes your soul I see now, As it beckons me and calls me, All the earthly bliss I see there, And I swoon with joy’s abundance. Burning, longing lips repeating: ‘Roderigo, Roderigo.’”

# The Soul Of A Century/Reflection

REFLECTION
Within my heart all seems so dead That words cannot portray, And when I roam about my heart A tombstone bars my way.
All about me so desolate . . . One rose in bloom . . . one bud . . . Yet this one is so beautiful As if grown from human blood.
And while it grows, its petals spread Their stirring blood-red stain, This rose, my love of humankind . . Demanding blood again.
I often tried to kill this bloom All efforts were in vain, Its roots remained beneath the ground; Through the night it grew again.

# The Spread of Esperanto

February 1907 edition of Review of Reviews for Australia
The announcement that the Queen of Spain is a devoted Esperantist, and that Esperanto is to be added to the languages to be learned by the Norwegian Prince Olaf, has compelled even the most sceptical to admit that Esperanto is forging ahead. But the editorial declaration in the North American Review, that Esperanto is certain to be the universal key-language of the future, and that therefore the North American, the leading periodical of the United States, will henceforth follow our example and devote space in every number to extend the knowledge of the language, is more important than the patronage of kings. A year or two more and Dr. Zamenhof will be entitled to the Nobel prize, for which he has already been nominated, as the inventor of the medium of communication between all nations that on earth do dwell.

THE SECRET
What says the wind to the waving trees?  What says the wave to the river? What means the sigh in the passing breeze?  Why do the rushes quiver? Have you not heard the fainting cry Of the flowers that said "Good-bye, good-bye"?
List how the gray dove moans and grieves  Under the woodland cover; List to the drift of the falling leaves,  List to the wail of the lover. Have you not caught the message heard Already by wave and breeze and bird?
Come, come away to the river's bank,  Come in the early morning; Come when the grass with dew is dank,  There you will find the warning— A hint in the kiss of the quickening air Of the secret that birds and breezes bear.

Like a word Of an archetypal tongue, Never told, Never sung;
All unstirred, Like the corals of the deep In their cold and purple sleep;
Lost and far, Like a forest-folded bloom Lulled above Its own perfume;
Like a star In the nether darkness drowned, Lies the love We have not found.

# The Secret (Faust)

From The Century Magazine, Feb 1917. Frederick Schiller Faust (Max Brand) writing as Frederick Faust.
The Secret
by FREDERICK FAUST
THEY drew the blinds down, and the house was old
With shadows, and so cold,
Filled up with shuddery silence like held breath.
And when I grew quite bold
And asked them why, they said that this was death.
They walked tiptoe about the house that day
And turned their heads away
Each time I passed. I sat down in surprise
And quite forgot to play.
Seeing them pass with wonder in their eyes.
My mother came into my room that night
Holding a shaded light
Above my face till she was sure I slept;
But I lay still with fright,
Hearing her breath, and knowing that she wept.
And afterward, with not a one to see,
I got up quietly
And tried each step I made with my bare feet
Until it seemed to me
That all the air grew sorrowful and sweet.
So without breathing I went down the stair,
In the light chilly air,
Into the parlor, where the perfumes led.
I lit candle there
And held it a long time above my head.
There was an oblong box, and at its base
Grew lilies in a vase
As white as they. I thought them very tall
In such a listening place,
And they threw fearful shadows on the wall.
I tiptoed to the box, then, silently,
To look what death could be;
And then I smiled, for it was father who
Was sleeping quietly.
He dreamed, I think, for he was smiling, too.
And all at once I knew death is a thing
That stoops down, whispering
A dear, forgotten secret in your ear
Such as the winds can sing.
And then you sleep and dream and have no fear.
Perhaps the winds have told the dream to flowers
On nights of lonely hours;
Perhaps we, too, could learn if we could seek
The wind in his watch-towers;
Perhaps the lilies knew, but could not speak.

# The Shield/Preface

PREFACE
Published by the Russian Society for the Study of Jewish Life under the joint editorship of three eminent men-of-letters, Gorky, Andreyev, and Sologub, the original Shield saw the light of day last year in Petrograd. The book consists of numerous studies, essays, stories and poems, all these contributions to the symposium on the Jewish question coming exclusively from the pen of Russian authors of non-Jewish birth. In making a selection for the present volume, I have thought it advisable to give decided preference to the publicistic articles of the original collection. Thus, the present version contains practically all the various important studies and essays of the Russian Shield while most of the stories have been omitted, without great detriment to the book. I have also had to sacrifice, for obvious reasons, all the poetic contributions to the original, signed by such great masters of modern Russian poetry as Balmont, Bunin, ​Z. Hippins, Sologub, and Shchepkina-Kupernik.
My thanks are due to Dr. Louis S. Friedland and Professor Earle F. Palmer for going over a considerable portion of the present volume.

# The Shield/On Nationalism

Vladimir Serggyevich Solovyov is known to the world as the noblest and the most profound of Russian thinkers. The author of a large number of philosophical and theological treatises, he is also responsible for a slender volume of exquisite poems and a series of publicistic works, wherein the cause of progress is vigorously upheld. Solovyov was born in 1853 and died in 1900.
ON NATIONALISM
A speech delivered by Vladimir Solovyov at a University Dinner on February 8th, 1890
THE dominating idea of the present time is the national idea. Of course, there is nothing bad about this. But the national idea as well as any other, can be very differently interpreted. The conception of nationalism which is very popular in our country reminds one of the famous answer made by a Hottentot to a missionary, who asked him whether he knows the difference between good and bad. "Sure I know," retorted the Hottentot. "Good—is when I steal other people's cattle and wives, and bad—when my own are stolen." In a like manner, many of our nationalists praise the love for their people and brand other people's patriotism as treason.
In spite of the wide diffusion of this view, I persist in my belief that the Russian national ​idea cannot be based on a Hottentot-like morality, that it cannot exclude the principles of justice and all-human solidarity. It is time that we should see the realisation of the true Russian idea and of all that it implies, namely: Poland's autonomy, Jewish equal rights and the untrammelled development of all the nationalities that people the Russian Empire.

The story is set in London in 1886 and deals with Mr. Adolf Verloc and his work as a spy for an unnamed country (presumably Russia). The Secret Agent is one of Conrad's later political novels in which he moved away from his former tales of seafaring. The novel deals broadly with anarchism, espionage and terrorism. It also deals with exploitation of the vulnerable in Verloc's relationship with his brother-in-law Stevie, who has a learning difficulty.

THE
VOCATION OF MAN
by
JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE.
Translated from the German.
by
WILLIAM SMITH.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
St. Paul.
LONDON: JOHN CHAPMAN, 142, STRAND
M.D.CC.XLVII.
​ The following work contains, within a brief compass, a popular but systematic exposition of Fichte’s Philosophy; and as such will not, it is hoped, be unacceptable to the English Student. It was written at Berlin in 1799, after his retirement from the University of Jena, and at the commencement of that period of profound study which afterwards resulted in the complete elaboration of his theory of the Absolute. In the present work we discover the first traces of those deeply religious tendencies which his mind acquired during that period, and which are more fully developed in his subsequent writings.
A version of the book was published in England a few years ago under the title of “The Destination of Man.” The anxious wish of the translator that a full and accurate edition of these writings should be placed in the hands of the English reader, must be his apology for what may appear, to those unacquainted with the original, an unnecessary or even invidious undertaking.
    Edinburgh, August 1848.

# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLIX

​ⅭⅭⅬⅨ. Thomas Jefferson: on the Constitutionality of a National Bank.
February 15, 1791.
It is an established rule of construction where a phrase will bear either of two meanings, to give it that which will allow some meaning to the other parts of the instrument, and not that which would render all the others useless. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It was intended to lace them up straitly within the enumerated powers, and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect. It is known that the very power now proposed as a means was rejected as an end by the Convention which formed the Constitution. A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLV

​ⅭⅭⅬⅤ. Roger Sherman in the House of Representatives.
May 3, 1790.
Mr. Sherman said, that a proposition to vest Congress with power to establish a National University was made in the General Convention; but it was negatived. It was thought sufficient that this power should be exercised by the States in their separate capacity.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLX

​ⅭⅭⅬⅩ. Alexander Hamilton: On the Constitutionality of a National Bank.
February 23, 1791.
Another argument made use of by the Secretary of State is, the rejection of a proposition by the Convention to empower Congress to make corporations, either generally, or for some special purpose.
What was the precise nature or extent of this proposition, or what the reasons for refusing it, is not ascertained by any authentic document, or even by accurate recollection. As far as any such document exists, it specifies only canals. If this was the amount of it, it would, at most, only prove that it was thought inexpedient to give a power to incorporate for the purpose of opening canals, for which purpose a special power would have been necessary, except with regard to the western territory, there being nothing in any ​part of the Constitution respecting the regulation of canals. It must be confessed, however, that very different accounts are given the import of the proposition, and of the motives for rejecting it. Some affirm that it was confined to the opening of canals and obstructions in rivers; others, that it embraced banks; and others, that it extended to the power of incorporating generally. Some, again, allege that it was disagreed to because it was thought improper to vest in Congress a power of erecting corporations. Others, because it was thought unnecessary to specify the power, and inexpedient to furnish an additional topic of objection to the Constitution. In this state of the matter, no inference whatever can be drawn from it.
