  • The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody
    72 Acadiensis Documents The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody The Narrative of Lieutenant James Moody was first printed in London in 1783. In consequence of a general incredulity, he issued a second edition, supporting it from letters of senior officers under whom he had served. It is the account of one who was described by General James Robertson, civil governor of New York, as "the best partizan" who served the royal cause during the American Revolution. Lorenzo Sabine in his volume of Loyalist biographies allowed Moody but six inches of space in his first edition of 1847. The second edition of 1864 yielded seven pages. "The very name of Moody',' he admitted "became a terror" to supporters of the Rebellion. This candid and highly literate narra­ tive is the story of a great guerilla fighter who finished his life as a Nova Scotian. Loyalists whose names are remembered in Atlantic history are those who became prominent in colonial politics after 1783. During the actual conflict the fame, or notoriety, of Moody equalled that of any of the future adminis­ trators who sat at our council tables. A recent American work. Turncoats, Traitors and Heroes by John Bakeless (Philadelphia and New York. 1959), acknowledges with grudging admiration that he was the most remarkable indi­ vidual serving either side in the capacities of spy and saboteur. To Washington, who was mortified because he could not hang him, he was "that villain Moody" (John J. Fitzpatrick, The Writings of George Washington, vol. 23, p. 444). It is rather astonishing that, having lived in Nova Scotia for twenty-five years, he enjoys no place in provincial historical writing.

    cover To find the soul it is necessary to lose it. —A. R. Luria Contents Part One: I Am No One Part Two: But Tonight on North Line Road Part Three: God Led Me To You Part Four: So You Might Live Part Five: And Bring Back Someone Else Part One I Am No One We are all potential fossils still carrying within our bodies the crudities of former existences, the marks of a world in which living creatures flow with little more consistency than clouds from age to age. —Loren Eiseley, The Immense Journey, “The Slit” Cranes keep landing as night falls. Ribbons of them roll down, slack against the sky. They float in from all compass points, in kettles of a dozen, dropping with the dusk. Scores of Grus canadensis settle on the thawing river. They gather on the island flats, grazing, beating their wings, trumpeting: the advance wave of a mass evacuation. More birds land by the minute, the air red with calls. A neck stretches long; legs drape behind. Wings curl forward, the length of a man. Spread like fingers, primaries tip the bird into the wind’s plane. The blood-red head bows and the wings sweep together, a cloaked priest giving benediction. Tail cups and belly buckles, surprised by the upsurge of ground. Legs kick out, their backward knees flapping like broken landing gear. Another bird plummets and stumbles forward, fighting for a spot in the packed staging ground along those few miles of water still clear and wide enough to pass as safe.

    Marion Leonard Lived: June 9, 1881 - January 9, 1956 Worked as: film actress, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Sarah Delahousse It is well known that Florence Lawrence, the first “Biograph Girl,” was frustrated in her desire to exploit her fame by the company that did not, in those years, advertise their players’ names. Lawrence is thought to have been made the first motion picture star by an ingenious ploy on the part of IMP, the studio that hired her after she left the Biograph Company. But the emphasis on the “first star” eclipses the number of popular female players who vied for stardom and the publicity gambles they took to achieve it. Eileen Bowser has argued that Lawrence was “tied with” the “Vitagraph Girl,” Florence Turner, for the honorific, “first movie star” (1990, 112). In 1909, the year after Lawrence left Biograph, Marion Leonard replaced her as the “Biograph Girl.” At the end of 1911, Leonard would be part of the trend in which favorite players began to find ways to exploit their popularity, but she went further, establishing the first “star company,” according to Karen Mahar (62). Leonard had joined the Biograph Company in 1908 after leaving the Kalem Company, where she had briefly replaced Gene Gauntier as its leading lady. Her Kalem films no longer exist nor are they included in any published filmography, and few sources touch on her pre-Biograph career. Thus it is difficult to assess her total career. However, Marion Leonard was most likely a talented player as indicated by her rapid ascension to the larger and more prominent studio.

  • 4. 6. 1971. the Dweller on the Threshold
    Neville Goddard 6/4/1971 THE DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD Only that which has no right to live must die, and only that which has no right to exist must be brought to an end. And that hasn’t a thing to do with any child born of woman, or any flower that ever bloomed. It’s something entirely different from what the world would suspect, for you and I have been given the greatest gift in the world. “God became as we are, that we may be as He is.” [Wm. Blake, from “Jerusalem”] In that, we were given complete freedom to misuse the gift of God! And that is His Power. I will share with you this night an experience of mine – it happened years ago – to show you the only thing that had no right to live – the only thing that had no right to exist, and must be brought to an end. Suddenly I found myself confronted with these two creatures: one, the most monstrous thing you could ever conceive, and the other, the most angelic being that you could think of. The one that was the monster – a hairy, monstrous being – I would almost be unfair to the monkey world to call him a gorilla or a baboon, but that is the picture, only he was far more than that. And he spoke gutturally. He looked at this angelic being, and called her “Mother.” It annoyed me, and I began to pommel him, and he gloated. He loved violence. Every blow made him stronger. He was the embodiment of every evil thought and act that I had ever entertained or expressed.
