Stephen Phillips in the Poetry Review
Forbear! This rlain Is still too deaf with
cries,
This soil too sanguine for thy stucco lies
Shall Earth where reeled The Guard thy
villa pen, -
Where nations. groaned be heard the
cackling hen?
A mans on mark where In the gathering
Those terrible gray ;hOrsemen so did
work?
Here wilt thou dare ito live, where such
men died
And on that memorable dust reside!
Here only ever let the solemn moon ,..
Uninterrupted weave q spirit-noon;
Here only falter down a penslve dew
From skies too wistful to be purely blue
But shouldst thou build on consecrated
ground, ~.
Then be those houses filled with spectral
sound Af

OF charging nosts against the battered

A dreadful cavalry invade the gEooms
Until in awe of those whosfell or fled

Personal Privacy.

The instinct of pesaonas privacy is about

When we blame the. BOY for his will
fulness and complain that he is hard to
guide, we do not refiec; that it is that
same independent spirit that makes the
strong man.
The fundamental want in the human
breast is to be let alone.
1t is only the born parasite that is glad
to be bossed and prafers the ease OF
sycophancy to the joyous dangers OF re-
sponsibility.
The street people haze devised a term
for the invader Of privacy, and call him

The unwillingneSs to. be managed eS-
plains. many things SIMPLY which we are
inclined to explain co;aelex.y or to give

Why IS the mother el-iaw the butt OF
SO many jokes? Becaslse the feeling Of
personal privacy is almost abnormally
acute In the newly wed,s and even mother :
interference is resented
Why does cooperative housekeeping
fail. and why do all the grand schemes
for forming Ttopian colonies prove I'M
of personal privacy.
More than brothe rhaed. or cheap liv-
ing, or art, or any pol deal or religious
program, a man loves: the privilege OF
minding his own business.
Why do so many fathers and mothers
not succeed in holding their children, but
clash with them. ana at last become
permanently alienatedN Because they do
not respect the chiids sense of personal
privacy and train MIN in everything else
than the one thing nt:edful-how to use

Because in the Iattes they are under
eternal espionage. ands everybody knows
the business of everybody else, while in
the cities they can get that personal
privacy that is the srst thirst. of the
soul.
Why is the custom house examination
detestable? Why wiz a tariff system
thar involves going Though peoples bag

method of getting .nctI,y for the state?
Because personal privacy is invaded and
citizens are wounded in their most sensi-
