# The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë/Through the hours of yesternight

XXIX
Through the hours of yesternight Hall and gallery blazed with light, Every lamp its lustre showered On the adorer and the adored. None were sad that entered there, All were loved and all were fair; Some were dazzling like the sun; Some shining down at summer noon. Some were sweet as amber even, Living in the depth of Heaven; Some were soft, and kind, and gay, Morning's face not more divine; Some were like Diana's day, Midnight moonlight's holy shrine.
# The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë/Thy sun is near meridian height

XLI
Thy sun is near meridian height, And my sun sinks in endless night; But if that night bring only sleep, Then I shall rest, while thou wilt weep.
And say not that my early tomb Will give me to a darker doom; Shall these long agonising years Be punished by eternal tears?
No: that I feel can never be; A God of hate could hardly bear To watch through all eternity, His own creation's dread despair!
The pangs that wring my mortal breast, Must claim from Justice lasting rest; Enough, that this departing breath Will pass in anguish worse than death.
If I have sinned; long, long ago That sin was purified by woe. I have suffered on thro' night and day; I've trod a dark and frightful way.
Earth's wilderness was round me spread, Heaven's tempests beat my naked head; I did not kneel; in vain would prayer Have sought one gleam of mercy there! ​How could I ask for pitying love, When that grim concave frowned above, Hoarding its lightnings to destroy My only and my priceless joy?
They struck—and long may Eden shine Ere I would call its glories mine; All Heaven's undreamt felicity Could never blot the past from me.
No! Years may cloud and death may sever, But what is done, is done for ever. And thou false friend and treacherous guide Go sate thy cruel heart with pride.
Go, load my memory with shame; Speak but to curse my hated name; My tortured limbs in dungeons bind, And spare my life to kill my mind.
Leave me in chains and darkness now, And when my very soul is worn, When reason's light has left my brow, And madness cannot feel thy scorn,
Then come again; thou wilt not shrink— I know thy soul is free from fear— The last full cup of triumph drink, Before the blank of death be there. ​The raving, dying victim see, Lost, cursed, degraded all for thee! Gaze on the wretch—recall to mind His golden days left long behind.
Does Memory sleep in Lethean rest? Or wakes its whisper in thy breast? O Memory wake! Let scenes return, That e'en her haughty heart must mourn!
Reveal; where o'er a lone green wood The moon of summer pours Far down from heaven its silver flood On deep Eldenna's shores;
There, lingering in the wild embrace Youth's warm affections gave, She sits and fondly seems to trace His features in the wave.
And while on that reflected face Her eyes intently dwell; 'Fernando, sing to-night,' she says, 'The lays I love so well.'
He smiles and sings, through every air Betrays the faith of yesterday; His soul is glad to cast for her Virtue and faith and Heaven away. ​Well, thou hast paid me back my love! But, if there be a God above, Whose arm is strong, whose word is true, This hell shall wring thy spirit too!
January 6, 1840.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Paris presents a flag

PARIS PRESENTS A FLAG
Upon the motion of M. Ernest Gay the Municipal Council of Paris voted to present a flag to the first Czechcoslovak regiment fighting alongside of the French.
The flag is made by artists from a sketch prepared by the noted Bohemian painter Kupka. It is made of silk with golden tassels and is divided horizontally into two fields: white above, red below, with a blue hem trimmed with gold. In the center is the number of the regiment and the Czechoslovak monogram. In the corner are the coat of arms of the Czechoslovak lands whose union is symbolized by four golden rings attached to the top of the flagpole instead of the usual pointed end. Underneath is tied a ribbon of white and red silk with the embroidered French and Bohemian inscription: “Paris to the Czechoslovak Army.”
The presentation of the flag took place on June 30th. President Poincaire himself made an address upon this occasion in which he said: that France constituted the Czechoslovak army as testimony of her gratitude to the valiant soldiers of that race who had volunteered to serve her from the beginning of the war and had won honor and death under her flag.
“It never entered the mind of the French Government”, said President Poincaire, “on the day that Austria the faithful servant of Germany’s ambitions, sent an insulting ultimatum to Serbia, to treat the Czechs who are resident in France, notably young students, as its enemies.”
The President recalled that the protest of the Bohemian Diet was the only one made anywhere against Germany’s annexation of Alsace-Lorraine.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Premier Seidler's message to the Czechs

PREMIER SEIDLER’S MESSAGE TO THE CZECHS
From the Prague Venkov, May 25, 1918.
Count V. Sternberg, a member of the so-called Bohemian or rather Austrian nobility, had an interview with Premier Seidler and was given a message by the premier to the Czech people.
Count Sternberg says: “When I told Dr. Seidler that the cutting up of Bohemia into districts was contrary to the fundamental laws of the State, the premier declared that that was not so and that the measure was legal. He said further that after the speech of Count Czernin which had stirred up so greatly the Germans because it announced upon the very highest authority that the Czechs were traitors, the Germans would have quieted down, if the Czechs had made a declaration to the effect that:
| (1) | They were loyal to the dynasty; |
| (2) | That they did not expect help from the Allies, but through internal reforms; |
| (3) | That they did not refuse to negotiate. |
The premier said further that political parties doing nothing to refute the suspicion that they are looking for salvation to the enemies and that give out declarations like those made in Prague for the universal sentiment of their people, and refusing altogether to make any attempt at reconciliation, can expect nothing else but that their interests shall be passed over.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Organization changes

ORGANIZATION CHANGES.
Delegates elected in February by the conventions of the Bohemian National Alliance and the Slovak League met at Cleveland on March 9 to carry into effect the vote for a closer co-operation of the Czechs and Slovaks in the United States. The work which is to be done in common was placed in charge of four committees. One committee of which Charles Pergler is the executive head will look after the political and consular interests of the Czechoslovaks. Headquarters have since been opened in Washington, 717 Fourteenth St. , N. W. Publicity work which has been carried on heretofore by Mr. Pergler and Mr. G. H. Mika from the Slav Press Bureau in New York has also been transferred to Washington and will be under the charge of Mr. Mika. The remaining two branches of the work have necessarily been located in New York. One is the recruiting activity for the Czechoslovak Army in France, in charge of Captain Zdenko Fierlinger and other officers who are expected from France at any moment. Closely connected with it is the relief work on behalf of the soldiers and their families. This work is carried on under the direction of Mrs. Caroline Motak.
The concentration of the political and press work in Washington has made it advisable to move there also the press bureau of the Bohemian National Alliance which has kept the readers of the Bohemian papers in this country in close touch with events in Bohemia and the progress of the move ment for independence in the Allied lands. Mr. Joseph Tvrzický who has been secretary of the Alliance almost from its foundation and has acted in addition as the director of the Bohemian Press Bureau has moved to the headquarters of the Czechoslovak National Council in Washington to continue his work from there.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Oath of Czechoslovak Soldiers

Oath of Czechoslovak Soldiers.
Very little it known of the fortunes of the Czechoslovak Army in Russia since the conclusion of the Bolshevik German peace. The April issue of La Nation Tcheque tells us of the resistance made by this army to the German invasion of Bessarabia. On that occasion a special oath was taken by these troops which throws an admirable light on their spirit and character. The oath is given herewith:
Throwing off for ever all ties that bound us to the Hapsburgs and to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and remembering all the wrongs that had for centuries been committed upon our people and remain unavenged, we, Czechoslovak soldiers of the first revolutionary army created beyond the frontiers of our country, take this solemn oath before our beloved Czechoslovak nation and before the chiefs of our revolutionary movement in foreign lands, the Czechoslovak National Council with Professor Masaryk at its head.
In the name of our national honor, in the name of all that is most dear to us as men and as Czechoslovaks, with full realization of this step, we swear to fight alongside of our allies to the last drop of our blood, against all our enemies, until we have obtained complete liberation of our Czechoslovak nation, until the Czech and Slovak lands are reunited into a free and independent Czechoslovak state, until our nation is absolute mistress of her destinies.
We solemnly promise, whatever may be the danger and whatever may be the circumstances, without fear and hesitation, never to abandon the sacred goal of our fight.
As faithful and honorable soldiers, heirs of our noble history, cherishing the memory of the heroic deeds of our immortal chiefs and martyrs, Jan Hus and Jan Žižka of Trocnov, we promise to remain worthy of them, never to flee from battle, to shirk no danger, to obey the orders of our officers, to venerate our flags and standards, never and under no circumstances beg for our lives from our enemy and never to surrender with weapons in our hands, to love our companions as brothers and to give them aid in danger, to have no fear of death, to sacrifice all, even our lives, for the freedom of our fatherland.
So freely, without pressure of any sort, we pledge ourselves to act, and so shall we act. Such is the duty imposed upon us by honor and fidelity toward our people and our country.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Our cause before the American people

OUR CAUSE BEFORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Clippings referring to Bohemia are getting to be more numerous every month. During March several dispatches, reproduced in practically every American daily, dealt with the violent attacks made by the Czech deputies in the Vienna parliament upon the Austrian government. That, of course, was nothing startling to readers who follow the events in Central Europe, but it helps to impress upon the mind of the average newspaper reader the fact that the Czechs at the very heart of Mittel-Europa continue to struggle against our enemies. In addition to that the Prague Declaration, published in full in this issue, has been given out to the press by the Slav Press Bureau and has been quoted at length in all of the important journals of the United States. Another, means of giving publicity to the cause of Bohemia has been the lecture trip of Joseph Martinek who is visiting the larger centers of the Bohemian population to talk of his experiences in Russia, and who takes the opportunity in every case to tell the local papers something of the great accomplishments of Czechoslovak soldiers in Russia.
Among large dailies, approving editorially of the aims of the Bohemian people, are, besides old friends who may always be relied upon to say a good word, newspapers like the Washington Post, Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, N. Y. Evening Sun, Brooklyn Eagle, Grand Rapids Herald and others. In addition, some half a dozen clippings, containing quotations from the Bohemian Review, have come under the editor’s notice during the past month. The March World’s Work contains a very sympathetic discussion of “The Ferment in Bohemia” by Richard Wilmer Rowan.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Our cause is marching on

OUR CAUSE IS MARCHING ON
The Government of the United States has followed the example of its Allies, France, Italy and England, and has declared unequivocally for complete independence of the Czechoslovaks. Secretary Lansing gave out on June 28th the following statement:
“Since the issuance by the Government on May 29th of the statement regarding the nationalistic aspirations for freedom of the Czechoslovaks and Jugoslavs, German and Austrian officials and sympathizers have sought to misinterpret and distort its manifest interpretation. In order that there may be no misunderstanding concerning the meaning of the statement, the Secretary of State has today further announced the position of the United States Government to be that all branches of the Slav race should be completely freed from German and Austrian rule.”
The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Arthur J. Balfour, addressed a letter to Dr. Edwad Beneš, General Secrectary of the Czechoslovak National Council, dated June 5th, in which he says:
“His Majesty’s Government, who have every possible sympathy with the Czechoslovak movement, will be glad to give the same recognition to this movement as has been granted by the Governments of France and Italy, that is to say, to recognize the Czechoslovak National Council as the supreme organ of the Czechoslovak movement in Allied countries, and to recognize the Czechoslovak army| as an organized unit operating in the Allied cause, and to attach therto a British liaison officer as soon as the need for this may arise.
His Majesty’s Government will at the same time be prepared to accord to the National Council political rights concerning the civil affairs of Czechoslovaks similar to those already accorded to the Polish National Committee.”
The next step which we hope will soon be taken should be the official recognition of the Czechoslovak National Council by the American Government.

# The Conquest; the Story of a Negro Pioneer/Chapter 9

left St. Louis about April first with about three thousand dollars in the bank and started again for Oristown, this time to stay. I had just paid Jessie a visit and I felt a little lonely. With the grim reality of the situation facing me, I now began to steel my nerves for a lot of new experience which soon came thick and fast.
Slater met the train at Oristown, and as soon as he spied me he informed me that I was a lucky man. That a town had been started ajoining my land and was being promoted by his brother and the sons of a former Iowa Governor, and gave every promise of making a good town, also, if I cared to sell, he had a buyer who was willing to pay me a neat advance over what I had paid. However, I had no idea of parting with the land, but I was delighted over the news, and the next morning found me among Dad Durpee's through stage coach passengers, for Calias, the new town joining my homestead, via Hedrick and Kirk. As we passed through Hedrick I noticed that several frame shacks had been put up and some better buildings were under way. The ground had been frozen for five months, so sod-house building had been temporarily abandoned.
It was a long ride, but I was beside myself with enthusiasm. Calias finally loomed up, conspicuously perched on a hill, and could be seen long before ​the stage arrived, and was the scene of much activity. It had been reported that a colored man had a claim adjoining the town on the north, so when I stepped from the stage before the postoffice, the many knowing glances informed me that I was being looked for. A fellow who had a claim near and whom I met in Oristown, introduced me to the Postmaster whose name was Billinger, an individual with dry complexion and thin, light hair. Then to the president of the Townsite Company, second of three sons of the Iowa Governor.
My long experience with all classes of humanity had made me somewhat of a student of human nature, and I could see at a glance that here was a person of unusual agressiveness and great capacity for doing things. As he looked at me his eyes seemed to bore clear through, and as he asked a few questions his searching look would make a person tell the truth whether he would or no. This was Ernest Nicholson, and in the following years he had much to do with the development of the Little Crow.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Slovak League Congress

SLOVAK LEAGUE CONGRESS.
Two weeks after the Chicago Convention some ninety representative Slovaks met at the Bohemian National Hall in New York as a Congress of the Slovak League of America. In one way the Slovak meeting was more significant than the Czech convention. For whereas Bohemian immigrants in America constitute considerably less than ten per cent of their race, one-fourth of the whole Slovak people live in America. The Bohemian National Alliance does not and cannot speak for the ​Czech Nation, for the Czechs have in the old country their own accredited and regularly elected deputies. But the Slovaks of Hungary have no elected representatives, and those who emigrated to America must speak for the entire race.
The principal business before the Slovak Congress, outside of a number of organization matters, was the ratification of the Chicago resolution for the creation of a branch of the Czechoslovak National Council. It was approved unanimously and the following gentlemen were elected for the Slovak representatives: Albert Mamatey, President of the League; John Janček, an editor from Russia and newly elected secretary of the League; G. H. Mika of the Slav Press Bureau; Rev. J . Kubášek, Rev. Joseph Murgas, Andrew Shustek, John Pankuch and Milan Getting.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Slovak paper about Prague events

SLOVAK PAPER ABOUT PRAGUE EVENTS.
The principal, and almost the only surviving Slovak newspaper, “Slovenský Týždenník", has this to say of the Slovak participation in the Prague celebrations:
Over twenty people came from our land, but what gave special weight to the Slovak participation, was the presence of Hviezdoslav, the greatest and noblest poet not of the Slovaks only, but of the entire contemporaneous Slav world. It was the first time that our prophet, the pride of our literature, undertook to come out publicly as the spokesman of his people. We Slovaks are not abandoned people, when poets speak for us; we are not a poor people, when Hviezdoslav is our spokesman. Ut to now our people looked upon Hviezdoslav with great respect and admiration as upon a great genius; now a deep satisfaction is in our hearts, when we realize that we have the right kind of spiritual leadership. Crowds of people in Prague, great and small, noble and common guests and citizens, surrounded our bard with expressions of love and respect.”
