    This book was first published in 1951 by Little, Brown and Company. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE By J.D. Salinger © 1951 CHAPTER 1 If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all. He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour.

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • Ivan Franko MOSES Translated by Vera Rich
    Ivan Franko MOSES Translated by Vera Rich PROLOGUE My people, tortured utterly and shattered, Like a poor cripple at the cross-roads lying, By man's contempt, as if with scabs, bespattered! My soul is filled for you with care and sighing, And burning shame permits my sleeping never, To see the fate before your children lying! Can it be some iron decalogue for ever Names you dung 'neath your neighbours' feet, the cattle Drawing the chariot of their swift endeavour? Or that your destiny must show its mettle In hate concealed, humility pretended, To all who by betrayal or in battle Have fettered you, forced you to swear dependence? Are you alone granted no deed of wonder, Which would reveal your powers without ending? Or that in vain for you so great a number Of hearts burned in love's holiest oblation, Offering soul and body for you humbly? In vain your landscape soaked with a libation Of the blood of your heroes? And forbidden The joys of beauty, healing, liberation? In vain the sparks within your language hidden Of might and softness, power and humour thronging, All that can lift the soul to peaks untrodden? In vain your music flows with notes of longing, And chiming laughter, ecstasy of loving, Of hopes and joys in a shaft bright and songful? Ivan Franko. Moses. Tr. Vera Rich 2 O no! Not only tears and sighs will hover Over you. For I trust the mighty spirit That shall your resurrection day discover! O could I start a wave that hears words quiver, And start a word whose bright illumination Will fill that wave with living fire forever! Or start a song, afire with inspiration, A song to stir the multitudes, to lead them, Winging them on the way towards salvation.
