  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • First-Person Account Written by the Late Captain Albert J
    Memoir of Captain Albert J. Pelletier, USN (Ret.) By Captain Albert J. Pelletier, USN (Ret.) On the first of September, 1968, I retired from the United States Navy with the rank of captain, after 36 and one-half years of service. It all started back on January 29, 1914, when I was born in Superior, Wisconsin. I grew up in the little suburb of Allouez, whose claim to fame was the Great Northern Railway's ore docks, where the rich iron ore of the Mesabi Range was transferred from rail to boat for its shipment to eastern iron mills. My dad was a switchman on the docks and, as such, received annual passes for travel on the Great Northern system. While I was a junior in high school, he took me with him on a visit to his sister's home in Seattle, Washington. While there we went to Bremerton and visited one of the Navy's battleships. The die was cast with that visit. I wanted to be a sailor and see the world. I graduated from high school in June of 1931 and got a job as a handyman in the Pontiac Garage. I worked six days a week for the tidy sum of $8.00. I knew that this wasn't for me, and I kept thinking of those friendly sailors I had met the year before. One day, while picking up parts in Duluth, Minnesota, I passed the Navy recruiting office. I went in and made inquiries. In the midst of the Depression, the lines were long and the "kiddie cruise" had been abandoned.
