Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, dissenting.
I agree with Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER that one who reads this record will have difficulty in determining whether members of the bar conspired to drive a judge from the bench or whether the judge used the authority of the bench to whipsaw the lawyers, to taunt and tempt them, and to create for himself the role of the persecuted. I have reluctantly concluded that neither is blameless, that there is fault on each side, that we have here the spectacle of the bench and the bar using the courtroom for an unseemly demonstration of garrulous discussion and of ill will and hot tempers.
I therefore agree with Mr. Justice BLACK and Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER that this is the classic case where the trial for contempt should be held before another judge. I also agree with Mr. Justice BLACK that petitioners were entitled by the Constitution to a trial by jury.

Mr. Justice HARLAN concurring.
In joining the Court's opinion, I am constrained to write these few words with reference to my Brother Clark's suggestion that the Court should hear argument in this case. As the limited scope of the Subcommittee's authority is not in dispute, the controlling issue is whether the pertinency of the questions put to petitioner was of such 'undisputable clarity' as to justify his punishment in a court of law for refusing to answer them. Watkins v. United States, 354 U.S. 178, 214, 77 S.Ct. 1173, 1193. That issue can only be determined by scrutiny of the record, and a full-dress argument could hardly shed further light on the matter. In such circumstances prompt disposition of the case before us certainly constitutes sound judicial administration. For my part, it is abundantly evident that the pertinency of none of the three questions involved can be regarded as undisputably clear, as indeed is evidenced by the different interpretations of the record advanced by the members of this Court and of the Court of Appeals who have considered this issue.
Mr. Justice CLARK, with whom Mr. Justice WHITTAKER concurs, dissenting.

Sacher v. Association of the Bar of the City of New York
Argued: March 11, 1954. --- Decided: April 5, 1954
This is a proceeding brought by respondent bar associations in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the disbarment of petitioner from practice in that court. Petitioner had previously been convicted of contempt in the same court. See Sacher v. United States, 343 U.S. 1, 72 S.Ct. 451, 96 L.Ed. 717.
The District Court, after disallowing eight of the specifications in the petition for disbarment, found as to the others that there was no conspiracy as charged therein and no moral turpitude involved, and that the proven contumacious conduct of petitioner stemmed from an excess of zeal for his clients that obscured his recognition of responsibility as an officer of the court. All of the conduct complained of occurred in one protracted trial involving many defendants and counsel. See Dennis v. United States, 341 U.S. 494, 71 S.Ct. 857, 95 L.Ed. 1137. There was no allegation or proof of prior misconduct in petitioner's twenty-four years of practice. The Court of Appeals divided upon the propriety of permanent disbarment, but unanimously questioned the importance of one of the two specifications principally relied on by the trial court.
At the time the District Court made its decision in this case, the contempt judgment was under review on appeal, and it did not know and could not know that petitioner would be obliged to serve, as he did, a six months' sentence for the same conduct for which it disbarred him.
In view of this entire record and of the findings of the courts below, we are of the opinion that permanent disbarment in this case is unnecessarily servere. The judgment is reversed and the case remanded to the District Court for further consideration and appropriate action not inconsistent with this opinion.
Judgment reversed and case remanded with directions.
Mr. Justice BURTON would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
Mr. Justice CLARK took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
Mr. Justice REED, dissenting.

# Spirella Manual (1913)/Section 9
## SECTION 9.SECTION 9.
### Clinching the Order.

94. IF AFTER GETTING AN ORDER, for any reason you feel that the person is not wholly to be relied an, say:
"Now, of course, you understand that I order this corset especially for you and it will be a great disappointment and loss to me if you do not take it."
This usually will cause her to say, "Oh, I always take what I order," and by thus doubly committing herself, she is more apt to do as she agrees. Should she resent what you have said, say to her that you usually explain this to the people, and say:
"Of course, you know, there are some people who do not always do as they agree."
Instead of following the above course it would be best in some cases, such as minor young ladies, servant girls and others whose reliability you have reason to doubt, to require them to have the endorsement on the ​stub of the order book, signed by parent or guardian or some responsible person guaranteeing that the corset will be paid for when delivered. You should make a practice of doing this whenever you have a doubtful case.
When leaving, thank her for the order, assuring her that she will al­ways find her corset an investment that will yield profit and pleasure.
It will be well each night to take half an hour at least in reviewing the experiences of the day. Ask yourself why it was that you lost; this or that order.
95. DO NOT ANTAGONIZE.—Never do anything by word or man­ner to create opposition or antagonism. The saleslady who is genial, pleasant, good tempered, mild and kind under all circumstances, is the one who succeeds the best.

# Spirit beloved! whose wing so soon hath flown

Felicia Hemans, Translations from Camoens, and Other Poets, with Original Poetry (1818), Sonnet 19.
Spirit beloved! whose wing so soon hath flown The joyless precincts of this earthly sphere, How is yon Heaven eternally thine own, Whilst I deplore thy loss, a captive here.
Oh! if allowed in thy divine abode Of aught on earth an image to retain, Remember still the fervent love which glowed In my fond bosom, pure from every stain.
And if thou deem that all my faithful grief, Caused by thy loss, and hopeless of relief, Can merit thee, sweet native of the skies! Oh! ask of Heaven, which called thee soon away, That I may join thee in those realms of day, Swiftly, as thou hast vanished from mine eyes.
# Spirit of Africa

November 17, 1965

## Spirit of Africa

We have just returned from the Accra meeting of the Heads of African States and governments, where fresh evidence was adduced that the spirit of Africa grows steadily more powerful and all -, pervasive, and that Africans shall continue to march together, in unity and oneness, into the promise of the future.
At Accra, resolutions were adopted which are of signal importance to every African country.
We would refer, in particular, to the resolution which pledges each nation on this continent to oppose subversive activities, to refrain from the conduct of any hostile propaganda campaign directed against another African state, and to resort to negotiations for the settlement of disputes between member states.
These undertakings, if they are implemented in good faith, should go far to remove many of the causes of friction which have from time to time impaired intra-African relations in the past, and further strengthen the African Unity Charter.

## Each must contribute

Let there be no mistake : in modern Ethiopia, each man must contribute.
There is no protection from the demand that a man's worth be assessed by his achievements. Education and learning offer no escape from the obligation of toil, for the good of the nation with littlethought of self, to them will much be given, even to the governing of the land.
Nor should anyone today mistakenly believe that only in the cities can he serve his country.
The greater need today is among the people, with those who work the soil, who provide the nourishment and sustenance upon which Ethiopia feeds.
The University National Service Programme has pointed the way. Today's younger generation must maintain their ties with the people who are the bulk and the backbone of the nation.
The problem of the many must become the problem of the few, for only in this way can the progress we earn be lasting and real and of benefit to all.
This very institution of Parliament is itself a striking example of the reshaping and moulding of custom and tradition which has at every step marked Ethiopia's development over the years. To serve in these Chambers, a man must possess high ability and demonstrated talents.
Indeed, you Deputies must, in addition, have persuaded your constituents that you dispose of these qualities in abundance, for you owe your claim to sit in this deliberative assembly to their votes, cast in free and open elections.
In the months ahead, much will be asked of you. You will be called upon to consider diverse and complex legislation, proposals prepared by experts after long and painstaking efforts, enactments vital to the life and growth of the nation. Study them carefully and dispassionately ; seek further information when it is necessary ; act not from personal interest or emotional involvement but objectively, as representatives of a united nation and people, with the public welfare your constant concern.

# Spirit of Faith, Come Down

Spirit of faith, come down, reveal the things of God, and make to us the Godhead known, and witness with the blood. 'Tis thine the blood to apply and give us eyes to see, who did for every sinner die hath surely died for me.
No one can truly say that Jesus is the Lord, unless thou take the veil away and breathe the living Word. Then, only then, we feel our interest in his blood, and cry with joy unspeakable, "Thou art my Lord, my God!"
O that the word might know the all atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show the virtue of his name; the grace which all may find, the saving power, impart, and testify to humankind, and speak in every heart.
Inspire the living faith (which whosoe'er receive, the witness in themselves they have and consciously believe), the faith that conquers all, and doth the mountain move, and saves whoe'er on Jesus call, and perfects them in love.

# Songs of the Affections, with Other Poems/The Sea-Bird Flying Inland

THE SEA-BIRD FLYING INLAND
Thy path is not as mine:—where thou art blest, My spirit would but wither: mine own grief Is in mine eyes a richer, holier thing, Than all thy happiness.
Hath the summer's breath, on the south-wind borne, Met the dark seas in their sweeping scorn? Hath it lured thee, Bird! from their sounding caves, To the river-shores, where the osier waves?
Or art thou come on the hills to dwell, Where the sweet-voiced echoes have many a cell? Where the moss bears print of the wild-deer's tread, And the heath like a royal robe is spread?
Thou hast done well, O thou bright sea-bird! There is joy where the song of the lark is heard, With the dancing of waters through copse and dell, And the bee's low tune in the fox-glove's bell.
Thou hast done well:—Oh! the seas are lone, And the voice they send up hath a mournful tone; A mingling of dirges and wild farewells, Fitfully breathed through its anthem-swells.
—The proud bird rose as the words were said— The rush of his pinion swept o'er my head, And the glance of his eye, in its bright disdain, Spoke him a child of the haughty main.
He hath flown from the woods to the ocean's breast, To his throne of pride on the billow's crest! —Oh! who shall say, to a spirit free, "There lies the pathway of bliss for thee?"
# Songs of the Affections, with Other Poems/The Minster

THE MINSTER.
A fit abode, wherein appear enshrined Our hopes of immortality. Byron.
Speak low!—the place is holy to the breath  Of awful harmonies, of whisper'd prayer; Tread lightly!—for the sanctity of death  Broods with a voiceless influence on the air: Stern, yet serene!—a reconciling spell, Each troubled billow of the soul to quell.
Leave me to linger silently awhile!  —Not for the light that pours its fervid streams
Of rainbow glory down through arch and aisle,  Kindling old banners into haughty gleams, Flushing proud shrines, or by some warrior's tomb Dying away in clouds of gorgeous gloom:
Not for rich music, though in triumph pealing,  Mighty as forest sounds when winds are high; Nor yet for torch, and cross, and stole, revealing  Through incense-mists their sainted pageantry:— Though o'er the spirit each hath charm and power, Yet not for these I ask one lingering hour.
But by strong sympathies, whose silver cord  Links me to mortal weal, my soul is bound; Thoughts of the human hearts, that here have pour'd  Their anguish forth, are with me and around;— I look back on the pangs, the burning tears, Known to these altars of a thousand years.
Send up a murmur from the dust, Remorse!  That here hast bow'd with ashes on thy head;
And thou, still battling with the tempest's force—  Thou, whose bright spirit through all time has bled— Speak, wounded Love! if penance here, or prayer, Hath laid one haunting shadow of despair?
No voice, no breath!—of conflicts past, no trace!  —Doth not this hush give answer to my quest? Surely the dread religion of the place  By every grief hath made its might confest! —Oh! that within my heart I could but keep Holy to Heaven, a spot thus pure, and still, and deep!
# Songs of the Affections, with Other Poems/The Nightingale's Death Song

THE NIGHTINGALE'S DEATH SONG.
Willst du nach den Nachtigallen fragen,  Die mit seelenvollen melodie Dich entzückten in des Lenzes Tagen?  —Nur so lang sie liebten, waren sie. Schiller.
Mournfully, sing mournfully,  And die away, my heart! The rose, the glorious rose is gone,  And I, too, will depart.
The skies have lost their splendour,  The waters changed their tone, And wherefore, in the faded world,  Should music linger on?
Where is the golden sunshine,  And where the flower-cup's glow? And where the joy of the dancing leaves,  And the fountain's laughing flow?
A voice, in every whisper  Of the wave, the bough, the air, Comes asking for the beautiful,  And moaning, "Where, oh! where?"
Tell of the brightness parted,  Thou bee, thou lamb at play! Thou lark, in thy victorious mirth!  —Are ye, too, pass'd away?
Mournfully, sing mournfully!  The royal rose is gone. Melt from the woods, my spirit, melt  In one deep farewell tone!
Not so!—swell forth triumphantly,  The full, rich, fervent strain! Hence with young love and life I go,  In the summer's joyous train.
With sunshine, with sweet odour,  With every precious thing, Upon the last warm southern breeze  My soul its flight shall wing.
Alone I shall not linger,  When the days of hope are past, To watch the fall of leaf by leaf,  To wait the rushing blast
Triumphantly, triumphantly!  Sing to the woods, I go! For me, perchance, in other lands,  The glorious rose may blow.
The sky's transparent azure,  And the greensward's violet breath, And the dance of light leaves in the wind,  May there know nought of death.
No more, no more sing mournfully!  Swell high, then break, my heart With love, the spirit of the woods,  With summer I depart!
# Songs of the Affections, with Other Poems/The Return

THE RETURN.
"Hast thou come with the heart of thy childhood back?  The free, the pure, the kind?" —So murmur'd the trees in my homeward track,  As they play'd to the mountain-wind.
"Hath thy soul been true to its early love?"  Whisper'd my native streams; "Hath the spirit nursed amidst hill and grove,  Still revered its first high dreams?"
"Hast thou borne in thy bosom the holy prayer  Of the child in his parent-halls?" —Thus breathed a voice on the thrilling air,  From the old ancestral walls.
"Hast thou kept thy faith with the faithful dead,  Whose place of rest is nigh? With the father's blessing o'er thee shed,  With the mother's trusting eye?"
—Then my tears gush'd forth in sudden rain,  As I answer'd—"O, ye shades! I bring not my childhood's heart again  To the freedom of your glades.
"I have turn'd from my first pure love aside,  O bright and happy streams! Light after light, in my soul have died  The day-spring's glorious dreams.
"And the holy prayer from my thoughts hath pass'd—  The prayer at my mother's knee; Darken'd and troubled I come at last,  Home of my boyish glee!
"But I bear from my childhood a gift of tears,  To soften and atone; And oh! ye scenes of those blessed years  They shall make me again your own."
