ADVANCE SHEET– APRIL 16, 2021 President's Letter ADVANCE SHEET– APRIL 16, 2021 President’s Letter In this issue we present two texts with cautionary lessons for an age of political polarization. The first is George Savile, Lord Halifax's The Character of a Trimmer on the virtue of using an individual's weight to balance extreme movements in politics. Halifax was born in 1633 and died in 1695. The second is the Edwardian Liberal politician John Morley's Essay on Compromise, one of Justice Felix Frankfurter's favorite texts. Morley was born in 1838 and died in 1923; he resigned from the British cabinet in opposition to Britain's entry into the First World War. In lieu of a judicial opinion, and in a similar spirit, we tender a Papal Encyclical, the Quadrigesmo Anno of Pope Pius XI in 1931, generally regarded as the clearest exposition of Catholic social doctrine. The child tax credit in the current infrastructure bill, which appears to enjoy some bipartisan support, owes something to the family allowances of Western European countries, and the encyclical was not without influence on the postwar Christian Democratic parties in Germany, Italy and France. The length of the texts and magazine is excused by the fact that they are not readily separately found in libraries George W. Liebmann A Hero For Our Times On August 20, 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill uttered those immortal words “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.” France had surrendered several months earlier and with Germany’s invasion of Russia almost a year away and December 7, 1941 many months in the future, Britain was in fact standing alone. War does in fact almost always result in instances of many owing much to a few. Such is the case in our current war against a relentless and cruel enemy that has cut a worldwide path of death and destruction. Our Royal Air Force has been the health care workers who have risked all as they have undertaken missions too innumerable to count. The courage and devotion to duty that they have exhibited is more than we could have possibly hoped for. In trying to express my gratitude I find myself at a loss for words. Sometimes, even the most sincere thank you does not seem to be enough. We here at the Bar Library are proud that two members of our family are amongst these individuals. M. Abbott Bolte, R.N., M.P.H., has been a nurse for 40 years, the majority of them at Johns Hopkins Bayview. Over her career she has worked in emergency rooms, ICUs, operating rooms, and burn units. During Covid she has worked as an OR nurse and a trainer for new OR nurses, and she occasionally staffs the Bayview vaccine clinic. She is married to Library Board of Director John J. Connolly. Their daughter, Maggie, is a cardiothoracic surgical resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. M. Abbott Bolte Anne Henderson, BSN, spent more than twenty years at the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where she treated patients after cardiac surgeries, both routine and emergent, as well as caring for patients with chronic and severe cardiovascular ailments. She precepted, or served as a trainer and mentor, to a generation of new nurses in the ICU. In 2019, she transitioned to Sharecare, an organization that partners with patients with chronic health issues to develop wellness plans and lower the incidences of their acute health emergencies. She is married to Library Board of Director Hon. John A. Henderson, and is the mother of three children. Anne Henderson The North Atlantic Cities On Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. Charles Duff will speak on his book The North Atlantic Cities. The lecture will be presented by way of Zoom. We invite those that will be watching to participate by contributing their questions. Zoom is an interactive platform. Charles Duff is a planner, teacher, developer, and historian. He combines scholarship with practical work as a developer and a community planner. Since 1987, as President of Jubilee Baltimore, he has built or rebuilt more than 300 buildings in historic Baltimore neighborhoods. Known as an expert in historic architecture and urban history, he has also pioneered in the development of residential and commercial buildings for artists and arts organizations. A graduate of Amherst College and Harvard University, he studied at St. Andrews University in Scotland and has walked every city and neighborhood to which he refers. He is a past President of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation and has served on the boards of many community and professional organizations. He lectures widely and has taught at Johns Hopkins and Morgan State Universities. Mr. Duff co-wrote Then and Now: Baltimore Architecture in 2005, contributed to The Architecture of Baltimore, and has translated two books about the tragedies of Sophocles. Why do London and Baltimore have row houses while Paris and Houston do not? This was the question that led Charles Duff to explore the world’s row house cities, a remarkable group of cities in four nations, and find that they form an urban family, bound together by architecture, commerce, and politics for more than 400 years. The result is The North Atlantic Cities. A loving but critical portrait, it starts in Amsterdam in 1600 and ends in the present. It covers Dutch, British, Irish, and American cities that house more than 100 million people. Baltimore figures prominently, as do London, Amsterdam, Dublin, and many other cities. The North Atlantic Cities, a work of lively prose and 180+ pictures, provides a wonderful window for us to watch as the North Atlantic cities grow, become beautiful, and invent many of the things we take for granted today: parks, mass transit, downtowns, even suburbia. These are great stories, well told and well illustrated. If you would like to join us for what should be a fascinating evening, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I will forward the Zoom Link to you the week of the program. If technology is not your cup of tea, do not let that stop you. Zoom is incredibly easy to use and we will send you the very simple instructions to use Zoom should you need them. Stay safe and we hope to see you with us on April 21. Time: 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 21, 2021. Reviews of The North Atlantic Cities “It has been some time since I enjoyed a book so much, one that takes a topic that spans 400 years, 4000 miles, and 20 cities, and still manages to drive home a clear and simple point. The only other book I’ve read that accomplished such a marvelous feat was Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel.” Bruce Laverty, Gladys Brooks Curator of Architecture, Athenaeum of Philadelphia “Charles Duff’s story is elegantly constructed around the principal features and innovations of a family of great cities. These cities have a very special character. Duff helps the reader to understand what they are, how they came to be, and what they should do next. Above all, he has a remarkable ability to help a reader see streets, squares, buildings, and ports – and see them as a physician might, with a view to their well-being, or the weakening of it.” Orest Ranum, Johns Hopkins University "Duff loves cities, Glasgow, Delft, and Dublin, say, and even more likes to visit them. He speaks of Hampstead Garden Suburb (North London) as he does Highlandtown [Baltimore]. He is full of insights, and is amazing that he has been able to compress so many of them within these pages."

WHATLEY ON COMPROMISE BY JOHN MORLEY MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1908 This Edition first printed 1886 NOTE. The writer has availed himself of the opportunity of a new edition to add three or four additional illustrations in the footnotes. The criticisms on the first edition call for no remark, excepting this, perhaps, that the present little volume has no pretensions to be anything more than an Essay. To judge such it performance as if it professed to be an exhaustive Treatise in casuistry, is to subject it to tests which it was never designed to bear. Merely to open questions, to indicate points, to suggest cases, to sketch outlines,—as an Essay does all these things,—may often be a process not without its own modest usefulness and interest.

    September 15, 2019 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Our parish still has no phone lines. I’ve talked to 10 people over at CenturyLink last week and nobody will listen to me. I’m not an expert. I just want a tech to come out and I can show him what’s going on. I was really upset Friday because I called and said, “You guys were supposed to be here by 5:00.” It was 5:15. “Oh, it says here it can be done remotely.” No, it cannot be done remotely, I need somebody here. “Well, you’ve got to wait until the work order’s finished at 6:00 tonight and call back to repair and service and talk to them.” So I did. They’re going to come out Monday, when I’m not here. Maybe this week we’ll have phone service, who knows. It’s interesting building buildings. Somebody was asking me the other day, “Isn’t it tremendously stressful? How can you do that and be spiritual too?” I said, “You don’t.” I’m going to read you a modern day prodigal son. Dear Dad, It is with heavy heart that I write this letter. I decided to elope with my new girlfriend tomorrow. We wanted to avoid a scene with you and Mom. I found real passion with Tamara, and she is so lovely even with her nose piercing, tattoos and her tight motorcycle clothes. It’s not only the joy Dad, she’s pregnant and Tamara said that we’ll be very happy.

  • From Address to Debate: Generic Considerations in the Debate Between Soul and Body
    FROM ADDRESS TO DEBATE: GENERIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DEBATE BETWEEN SOUL AND BODY by J. Justin Brent Although many scholars think of debate as a distinctively medieval genre,1 just about every culture known to man has composed verbal contests of wit that might be termed debates.2 Their universal appeal results at least in part from two inherent features. One is the excitement and suspense that comes from observing a contest between two skillful opponents. Like spectator sports, verbal contests provide a vicarious pleasure for the audience, which shares the suspense of the contest with the two or more opponents. The second aspect, more frequently dis- cussed by students of medieval debate, is the tendency towards opposi- tion. Because a contest cannot take place without opponents, verbal contests tend to produce philosophical perspectives that are both op- 1Thomas Reed, for instance, claims that debate is “as ‘distinctly medieval’ as a genre can be” (Middle English Debate Poetry [Columbia 1990] 2); and John W. Conlee sug- gests that no other age was more preoccupied with “the interaction of opposites,” which furnishes the generating principle of debates (Middle English Debate Poetry: A Critical Anthology [East Lansing 1991] xi–xii). The medieval poets’ intense fascination or spe- cial fondness for debate poetry often receives mention in studies of this genre. 2As evidence of their existence in some of the earliest writing cultures, scholars have pointed out several debates in ancient Sumerian culture. See S. N. Kramer, The Sumer- ians (Chicago 1963) 265; and H. Van Stiphout, “On the Sumerian Disputation between the Hoe and the Plough,” Aula Orientalis 2 (1984) 239–251.

It is something dark, twisted and daunting which, nevertheless, lures us into its depths. Monsters scare, petrify and make one feel vulnerable and exposed; yet, they never disappear, they can never truly be annihilated. They lurk in the most obscure corners of one‘s mind, festering, dormant until summoned, and then they emerge from the shadows ready to wreak havoc. They embody terrific possibilities, violation, transgression and liminality: all that is dangerous, yet all that is unavoidable.

    3 Pain, Misery, Hate and Love All at Once A THEOLOGY OF SUFFERING I remember the period well. It was the months following the 1992 LA Riots. We were young, full of energy, and having bore witness to the destructive forces that tore our community apart, we wanted to change the direction of the ‘hood. So what did we do? We organized gangs, nonprofits and people with like-minded worldviews to create something that had never been done, a gang truce. A fifteen-city organizational effort involving gang leaders, commu- nity organizations and rappers like Tupac, the then lesser known Snoop Dogg and former members of NWA, as well as people who wanted to see a change from the violence of the 1980s, put together posters, banners, flyers and events that helped put a message of peace out in the commu- nity. Large gangs like the Crips and the Bloods came to park BBQ’s to celebrate the newfound peace. MTV covered many of the events. For the first time it seemed as though urban peace was beginning to take shape. I was truly amazed. Especially being as angry as I was after the Rodney King trial verdict, I was beginning to see some change that I could be a part of. We decided that each city needed to take their concerns to City SoulOfHipHop.indb 75 4/26/10 11:13:30 AM 76 THE SOUL OF HIP HOP Hall. We had hoped to file for a “state of emergency” to begin receiv- ing federal funds to clean up our ‘hoods and begin to restore our fam- ilies.

  • The Meeting of the Three Living and the Three Dead
    THE MEETING OF THE THREE LIVING AND THE THREE DEAD The meeting of the three living and the three dead shows an occasional meeting of three carefree very relevant men (normally three kings or a priest, a nobleman and a member or the upper-middle class) who enjoy life in their adulthood. These three men, apparently not acquainted with pain, go hunting and, on turning a curve or reaching a crossroads marked by a landmark, come up against three dead whose corpses are rotten and eaten by maggots. In some versions the dead ones regain consciousness for a moment to warn the living ones, we once were as you are, as we are so shall you be. However, in others the dead ones lie lifeless inside their coffins and it is a hermit that warns the living ones about the expiry of earthly goods. The living ones, impressed by the vision, change their existential attitude and, from that moment on, look after their souls, afraid of death’s proximity. The topic comes from the Buddhist sapiential literature by which the Prince Siddhartha Gautama had four meetings, one of them with a dead, before becoming Buddha. It must have passed to both the Persian and Abbasid literature through the trading routes and it reached the West deeply transformed, with the main characters tripled to gain dramatic intensity. Keywords: Dead, living, skeletons, hermitage, hermit, hawk, hunter, harnessed horses, noblemen, princes, kings, crossroads, landmark, cemetery, crown. Subject: The meeting of the three living and the three dead is found in French literature and bibliography under the expression: le dit des trois morts et des trois vifs or les trois vivant et trois mortis.

CHAPTER 3 ‘Owte of the frensshe’: John Lydgate and the Dance of Death John Lydgate’s poem The Dance of Death was a translation ‘Owte of the frensshe’, as the author himself stated in his translator’s ‘Envoye’ at the end of the poem, yet ‘Not wordebeworde / but folwyng the substaunce’ (E:665-66) – an ancient topos.1 Even so, Lydgate’s poem was indeed no slavish imitation but an adaptation of a French poem that had been attracting attention since its incorporation in a wall-painting at the cemetery of Les Innocents in Paris not long before Lydgate’s presumed visit in 1426. Despite being an early adaptation of a popular French text, Lydgate’s Middle English Dance of Death has received less notice than it deserves, due to a number of factors. First of all, Lydgate’s reputation greatly declined after the sixteenth century and his ‘aureate’ style is no longer admired, which has affected the study of his work, although there has recently been a revival of Lydgate studies.2 Secondly, the poem is only a minor work in Lydgate’s huge oeuvre of well over 140,000 lines, and its didactic character has not endeared it to many literary scholars.
