# Renascence and other poems/AFTERNOON ON A HILL

AFTERNOON ON A HILL
I will be the gladdest thing Under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one
I will look at cliffs and clouds With quiet eyes, Watch the wind bow down the grass, And the grass rise. ​And when lights begin to show Up from the town, I will mark which must be mine, And then start down!
# Renascence and other poems/BLIGHT

BLIGHT
Hard seeds of hate I planted That should by now be grown, Rough stalks, and from thick stamens A poisonous pollen blown, And odors rank, unbreathable, From dark corollas thrown!
At dawn from my damp garden I shook the chilly dew; The thin boughs locked behind me That sprang to let me through;
The blossoms slept,—I sought a place Where nothing lovely grew.
And there, when day was breaking, I knelt and looked around: The light was near, the silence Was palpitant with sound; I drew my hate from out my breast And thrust it in the ground.
Oh, ye so fiercely tended, Ye little seeds of hate! I bent above your growing Early and noon and late, Yet are ye drooped and pitiful,— I cannot rear ye straight!
The sun seeks out my garden, No nook is left in shade, No mist nor mold nor mildew Endures on any blade, Sweet rain slants under every bough: Ye falter, and ye fade.

GOD'S WORLD
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough! Thy winds, thy wide grey skies! Thy mists, that roll and rise! Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff! World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!
Long have I known a glory in it all, But never knew I this Here such a passion is As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year; My soul is all but out of me,—let fall No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call
# Removing I-296 Signs in Grand Rapids

​Layout 2APR 11 1979 HTO-32 Removing I-296 Signs in Grand Rapids
Director Office of Traffic Operations Washington, D.C. 20590
Mr. Donald E. Trull Regional Federal Highway Administrator Homewood, Illinois
As part of the Positive Guidance Demonstration Project, the State of Michigan determined that the signing for I-296 in Grand Rapids is a potential source of confusion for motorists. Further, because of the geometric design of the interchange of I-96 and U.S. 131/I-296, and because of the complete overlap of I-296 with U.S. 131, the signing for the interchange becomes unnecessarily complex. Also, the 600 foot sight distance to the off movement increases the probability of driver error. In reviewing Michigan's interim report on the demonstration, it occurred to us that the overlapping of routes in the area (M-37 with I-96, and I-296 with U.S. 131) should be eliminated. At our meeting with the State in January, we recommended the State investigate relocating M-37 and eliminating I-296.
As we understand it, the State agrees with that recommendation and would like to remove the I-296 designation from all the signs and the official State map. It is concerned, however, that such a move might result in the removal of I-296 from the Interstate System. Consequently, it has recommended removing I-296 only from the major guide signs, leaving the designation on trailblazers and the official State map. It is our view that this compromise is not in the best interest of the motorist. While it would certainly make the guide signing simpler, it would increase the discrepancy between the maps and the signs, and play havoc with driver expectancy.
The AASHTO policy statement on marking Interstate highways in urban areas states they should "be carefully marked for the safety and convenience of the travelling public . . . ." We would recommend that the State be given FHWA approval and advised to obtain approval of the AASHTO Executive Committee.
We certainly appreciate the cooperation and participation of the State and the Division Office in the Positive Guidance Demonstration Program. We believe there will be significant improvement in both safety and traffic operations at the I-96-U.S. 131 interchange as a result of the project.

ASHES OF LIFE
Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike; Eat I must, and sleep I will,-and would that night were here! But ah!-to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike! Would that it were day again!-with twilight near!
Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do; This or that or what you will is all the same to me; ​But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through,— There's little use in anything as far as I can see.
Love has gone and left me,—and the neighbors knock and borrow, And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow There's this little street and this little house.
# Royal Naval Biography/Holland, John Wentworth

Layout 2
JOHN WENTWORTH HOLLAND, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1806.]
This officer went to India with the Hon. Commodore Cornwallis, in 1789; and was a Midshipman on board Earl Howe’s flag-ship in the great battle of June 1, 1794, on which occasion he appears to have been wounded. His meritorious conduct while serving as first Lieutenant of the Phoebe frigate, is highly spoken of in Captain (now Sir Robert) Barlow’s official letter reporting the capture of l’Africaine, Feb. ​19, 1801, in the performance of which service he again received a wound.
Mr. Holland was promoted to the rank of Commander immediately after this very brilliant action; and he obtained a post commission on the 22d Jan. 1806, since which he has not been employed afloat.
# Royal Naval Biography/Holmes, William

WILLIAM HOLMES, Esq. [Commander.]
We first find serving as midshipman of the Weazle sloop, Captain Henry Prescott; and distinguishing himself at the capture of an enemy’s convoy, under the batteries of Amanthea, in Calabria, July 25th, 1810. Two days afterwards he assisted in destroying several other vessels, and bringing off a gun from the shore, under a heavy fire of musketry, by which three of his shipmates were wounded. On the 29th of the following month, he most gallantly boarded and took possession of an armed xebec and a gun-boat, secured by hawsers to the shore, near a battery where a large body of Neapolitan cavalry veas assembled. On the 27th of Aug. 1811, being then master’s mate of the Diana frigate. Captain William Ferris, he commanded a boat belonging to that ship, at the capture of a French convoy in the river Gironde; and on the 27th Feb. 1812, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, for jumping overboard and saving the life of a seaman, who had fallen from the mast head of that ship, white lying in Plymouth Sound. His first appointment, as such, appears to have been, Aug. 19th following, to the Saracen sloop, Captain John Harper, fitting out for the Mediterranean station: where he was engaged in a constant series of active and important services during the remainder of the war.
​This gallant officer obtained a commander’s commission on the 19th Aug. 1815; and was appointed to the Arab sloop, attached to the Irish station. Mar. 22d, 1822. In that vessel he perished, with all his officers and crew, on the coast of Mayo, near Broadhaven, Dec. 12th, 1823; leaving a widow (formerly Miss Eliza Gould, of Blandford) and several young children to lament his melancholy fate.

# Rankin v. The State/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
78 U.S. 380
Rankin v. The State
The difficulty with the case, as brought before us, is that the judgment was not a final one in the case. This court, under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act, can only take cognizance of final judgments of the State courts. And although the court has been liberal in its construction of the statute as to what judgments are final, yet the judgment in this case cannot be deemed such by any reasonable stretch of construction. It is a rule in criminal law in favorem vitae, in capital cases, that when a special plea in bar is found against the prisoner, either upon issue tried by a jury, or upon a point of law decided by the court, he shall not be concluded or convicted thereon, but shall have judgment of respondeat ouster, and may plead over to the felony the general issue, not guilty. And this is the effect of the judgment of reversal rendered by the Supreme Court of Tennessee in this case; so that in no sense can that judgment be deemed a final one. The case must go back and be tried upon its merits, and final judgment must be rendered before this court can take jurisdiction. If after that it should be brought here for review, we can then examine the defendant's plea and decide upon its sufficiency.
WRIT OF ERROR DISMISSED.

United States Supreme Court
78 U.S. 380
Rankin v. The State
IN error to the Supreme Court of Tennessee; the case being this:
An indictment had been found in one of the State courts of Tennessee, at August Term, 1865, against a certain Rankin, and ten other persons named in the indictment, charging them with the murder of one Thornhill, on the first of June preceding. The defendant, in August Term, 1866, pleaded that on the day mentioned in the indictment he was in the military service of the United States, in the military district of East Tennessee, being first lieutenant of company B of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry, and bound to obey all lawful orders of his superiors, 'then and there existing and being an insurrection and civil war in said military district;' and that on the 5th day of October thereafter he was arraigned and put on trial at Chattanooga, before a general court-martial, for the same identical crime with which he was charged by the indictment, and was acquitted thereof; and he set forth the record and proceedings of the court-martial. To this plea the attorney-general filed a replication, denying the existence of the record, and the continuance of the war, and alleging fraud in the procurement of the trial by court-martial. The defendant demurred, and the court sustained the demurrer. The attorney-general then filed a new replication, the case was tried, and the defendant was acquitted. Writ of error being brought, the Supreme Court of the State reversed the decree of acquittal, on the ground that the defendant's plea was insufficient, and remanded the case to the Circuit Court for trial. The effect of this judgment was to overrule the defendant's plea, and to require him to plead over to the indictment.
The case was now brought here by Rankin, under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act, which gives a writ of error to this court from the highest court of the State on 'final judgments,' in certain cases, specified in the section.
Messrs. H. Maynard, and R. M. Barton, for the plaintiff in error.
No opposing counsel.
