ALTHOUGH not now the lofty Lark, Rising 'tween the light and dark, Wildly warbling through the skies, Call the ruddy Morn to rise, in With her tresses bathed dew ; Grey clouds, thin, around her wreathing, Fragrance on the light winds breathing, Nature's glories to renew : Still, 'tis sweet her wilds to tread, Though their breathing bloom is fled. Now, t' escape the pain of thinking, From the wintry tempest shrinking, 'Mid the city's smoke and noise, Fickle fashion's sickly race, Happiness may vainly chase, Amid fantastic joys. THE WINTER DAY. Still, the roaring winds, to me, Wake more melting melody; Still, to hear the bubbling fountain, Or round, and round the snow-clad mountain, Strong, with health-strung step, to measure, Yields me a diviner pleasure. in. Why, by vanity beguil'd, Did I the crook and plaid resign? Whence, far from these delights exiled, In crowded alley dark I dwyn. Ah ! my countrymen, beware, Nor, in delusive vision led, Rush, blind, into the gikled snare, By artful fraud or folly spread. Hark! from out that pitchy cloud, What warning notes are breath'd aloud, " Preserve your simple manners, simple homes, Nor here seek tortures and untimely tombs." IV. Thou, whose wild and wayward power Darken'st sorrow's darkest hour, And on the scene of pleasure won, Givest softer tints to glow, Than ever stars or moon or sun, Single, or blending all in one, Pour'd on the earth below, Fancy, in light, my steps attend, While o'er the wilds I stray, Playful, 'mong native scenes to spend, Once more a Winter Day. HORNING. Still, with caution, shy retiring, Let me shun the roof aspiring, Where th' outlandish villain vile, Clept Improvement, keeps his council, And array'd in tawdry tinsel, Mocks the sterling of our Isle. There, himself on foppery pluming, Every foolish air assuming, Let hun sit with, side by side, Bloated luxury and pride. Wide though it be his proud dominion, With him we want no communion. But behind that towering hill, Seated by a brawling rill, Its humble head a mansion rears, The simple work of other years, Ere turgid taste had gain'd the power The hardy peasant's cup to sour; Or coward pride, and dastard shame, Had taught him to deny the name " Of happiness to Hame content," Or lives with God in comfort spent. And this, allenarly, because Found under thack and divet wa's. VII. Unscorch'd by Dissipation's fires, Beyond the reach of fashion's ray, THE WINTER DAY. Peaceful, sons succeeding sires, There have ages roll'd away. Lion-like with savage roar, No gruff mastiff guards the door; Unsuspicious, here, may all come, Certain of a kindly welcome, And in close concord sure to see Contentment, truth, and piety. vm. The martial cock, with clarion shrill, Has oft and loudly hail'd the day, When, shivering, o'er the peat-stack hill The good man comes with locks of grey, Eager from heavenly signs to draw Confirmed frost or coming thaw. The moon gleams pale upon the hill, And all around as yet is still, Save when the light winds purling blow Along the smooth ridg'd wreaths of snow, Or, lonely, when the owl afar Wails doleful from the sounding scaur, Or shrill, by fits upon the ear, The mountain stream shrieks wildly drear. IX. To Him who stretch'd abroad the skies, Who gives these rolling orbs to burn, Whence, day and night successive rise, And Seasons ever new return On faith's elastic pinions borne, His soul ascends, imploring grace, To keep, on every rising morn, His feet in life's bewildering race. MORNING. For, feeble in himself, he knows, Encompass'd round with deadly foes, Prompt t' improve the passing hour, Should Heaven the aids of grace deny, stretch'd at He, length, would surely lie, The victim of their power. Thus, on Providence reposing, Hope bursts vigorous into play, Yea, on death's dark shadows closing, He can look without dismay, Certain, that behind them bright, Radiant rises, cloth'd in light, Glory's never ending day. Thus too, he is, with conscience clear, Prepared needful cares to bear, Not as a soul-depressing toil; Nor kindling yet in Mammon's strife, Which dims the head, imbitters life, And the heart the while damps ; But, thus he stores up useful wealth, Enjoys the ruddy glow of health, And humour's easy smile. And first the kine demand his care, Expectant of their morning fare, They now awake the hollow low, turns and slow By repeated deep ; His well known step, too, Bawsie hears, And neighing perks his eager ears, And the stone scrapes flinty ; THE WINTER DAT. And round and round with liberal heart, But frugal hand, the proper part, He deals to every one. Then forth he fares with placid smile, To join, and cheer his people's toil. Before the barn-door seated, Tray, Barks at the echoes rising shrill, Or shrubs that, hoar, in huge array, Seem moving o'er the bending hill. From kailyard green, her thoroughfare In watches of the night, Brown, thro' the snow, the timid Hare, Hirpling seeks the broomy height; While, light of foot, the Partridge brood, Eager in quest of needful food, In lengthen'd line, are, cow'ring, led Beneath the hedge-row's hoary shade. And, far amidst the shaggy heath, With frequent cry, the Gorcock springs, Scatt'ring, on the morning's breath, The frozen drift, with birring wings; And o'er the marsh's lonely bounds The wild Duck's rushing clang resounds. XIII. At hand, the Cock, with martial stride, Leads round the shed his family wide, Defiance crowing to the morn, Or chuckling o'er the barley-corn, Which oft he lifts, and drops, to prove, Among his dames, his gen'rous love. MOBNING. The Ducks too, by the kindling ray Arous'd, come forth to meet the day, And by the streamlet's frozen shore each keen Waddling, cranny explore ; Then, all at once, with clam'rous cry, And clumsy wing, they tempt the sky; But chain'd, by native weight, below, They, quacking, flounder in the snow. xrv. Blythe, thro' the snow, the children leap, With bosoms buoyant, full of glee, Or, wond'ring, view the hoar-frost deep, Encrusting shrub, and tow'r, and tree And, pain'd at heart, they mark, forlorn, The birds chirp, owrie, from the thorn, Where, as they flit, with feeble wing, The falling ice-drops, rattling, ring; And kind, by each his crumbs of bread In proper place are careful spread, Round which assemble, bold, The Linty sweet, the pride of Spring, The Shilfa' bright, with silver wing, The Mavis with his glowing breast, That emulates the dawning east, And Merle with beak of gold. Embrac'd in Pity's gen'rous glow, Yea, even the Pyet and rav'nous Crow, Their share bounty freely ; The berried nest, the unroof'd cot, With all their ruthless deeds forgot, When helpless thus exposed to care. 10 THE WINTER DAY. XV. For social disposition fam'd, By piercing cold and hunger tam'd, December's minstrel clear, The little Redbreast ventures ben, To shun, beneath the hands of men, The rigours of the year: In silent admiration, all Welcome the stranger to the hall; As statue fix'd, each holds his breath, all is still And hush'd, and as death ; While unobserv'd Grimalkin lies, The wild fire flashing from her eyes, Her steady shoulders bending low, Her pois'd tail wav'ring to and fro, Extended half her greedy jaws, And half unsheath'd her murd'rous claws; With tail erect, and drooping wings, He, heedless, hops along the floor, When forth the grisly savage springs, And, crush'd, he falls her prey secure: The family raise the vengeful roar, But to her den the miscreant. flies, Where, purring, stern, she scorns their pow'r, And, crashing, grinds her hapless prize. At length, upon their morning toils, The hour of breakfast, grateful, smiles, With golden grain is heap'd the floor, And straw in plenty piled secure, The thrasher's peaceful spoils.

  • BROAD on the GROWING Blo K Universe
    Broad on the Growing Ted Sider Block Universe Intro Metaphysics 1. B theory versus moving spotlight The B theory Time is analogous to space in many ways. Past, present, and future objects are all (tenselessly) real. No time is objectively present; to say that something is present is just to say that it is simultaneous with one’s utterance. (Similarly, to say that something is past or future is to say it is after or before one’s utterance.) Change is nothing more than the truth of a pair of statements of this form: “Object x is F at time t1” and “Object x is not F at time t2”. Many (though not all) B theorists accept temporal parts. We are naturally tempted to regard the history of the world as existing eternally in a certain order of events. Along this, and in a xed direction, we imagine the characteristic of presentness as moving, somewhat like the spot of light from a policeman’s bull’s-eye traversing the fronts of the houses in a street. What is illuminated is the present, what has been illuminated is the past, and what has not yet been illuminated is the future… (Broad, p. 141.) The moving spotlight view Past, present, and future objects are real, as the B theory says. But a single moment of time is objectively present. But which moment is present is not “frozen”; the objective present moves. In addition to the kind of “change” that the B theory acknowledges, there is also a further sort of—more genuine—change: the change in events from future to present to past.

  • IV. on the Barringtoniaceae
    47 IV. On the Barringtoniaceae. By JOHNMIERS, P.B.S., F.L.S., Dignit. et Commend. Ord. Imp. Bras. B08&, &c. (Plates X.-XVIII.) Read June 3rd, 1855. THEBarringtoniacecz form an extremely natural group, offering very distinct and uniform characters; they differ from the Myrtacece in their alternate leaves without pellucid dots, in another kind of inflorescence, and in a fruit of very different structure. The iajforewercce is either terminal and thyrsoid, with several approximated flowers, often of extraordinmy dimensions, kecl upon a thick erect terminal stem, or more generally consisting of smaller flowers, spicately arranged upon long terminal pendulous racemes, sometimes subaxillary, or more rarely in branching panicles ; but in all cases the flowers are formed upon one uniform plan. The leading character of this floral structure is, that their very numerous long slender stamens, in many series, are united at their base into a shortish erect monadelphous tube, seated on the outer margin of a horizontal annular epigynous disk, from which they all fall off together, thus differing essentially from the Myrtacece, where the similar stamens are always free, each seated independently upon a perigynous annular disk, from which they fall off separately, leaving upon it many cicatrices, marking the several points of their previous attachment upon it. There is little analogy in this respect with the struc- ture of the i5ecythidacece, where the short small stamens are separately supported upon numerous distinct processes, attached to a large petaloid

  • John Greenleaf Whittier - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Greenleaf Whittier - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Greenleaf Whittier(17 December 1807 – 7 September 1892) John Greenleaf Whittier was an influential American Quaker poet and ardent advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. He is usually listed as one of the Fireside Poets. Whittier was strongly influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Highly regarded in his lifetime and for a period thereafter, he is now remembered for his poem Snow-Bound, and the words of the hymn Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, from his poem The Brewing of Soma, sung to music by Hubert Parry. <b>Biography</b> <b>Early Life and Work</b> John Greenleaf Whittier was born to John and Abigail (Hussey) at their rural homestead near Haverhill, Massachusetts, on December 17, 1807. He grew up on the farm in a household with his parents, a brother and two sisters, a maternal aunt and paternal uncle, and a constant flow of visitors and hired hands for the farm. Their farm was not very profitable. There was only enough money to get by. Whittier himself was not cut out for hard farm labor and suffered from bad health and physical frailty his whole life. Although he received little formal education, he was an avid reader who studied his father’s six books on Quakerism until their teachings became the foundation of his ideology. Whittier was heavily influenced by the doctrines of his religion, particularly its stress on humanitarianism, compassion, and social responsibility.
