But seldom the laurel wreath is seen Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;... There's a light and a shadow on every man Who at last attains his lifted mark-- Nursing through night the ethereal spark.

And what was the theory at the bottom of all these astounding proceedings? So far as it can be reduced to comprehensible terms it ...was much less a theory than a fear--a shivering, idiotic, discreditable fear of a mere banshee--an overpowering, paralyzing dread that some extra-eloquent Red, permitted to emit his balderdash unwhipped, might eventually convert a couple of courageous men, and that the courageous men, filled with indignation against the plutocracy, might take to the highroad, burn down a nail-factory or two, and slit the throat of some virtuous profiteer. In order to lay his fear, in order to ease the jangled nerves of the American successors to the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns, all the constitutional guarantees of the citizen were suspended, the statute-books were burdened with laws that surpass anything heard of in the Austria of Maria Theresa, the country was handed over to a frenzied mob of detectives, informers and agents provocateursand the Reds departed laughing loudly, and were hailed by the Bolsheviki as innocents escaped from an asylum for the criminally insane.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

That moss-covered bucket I hailed as a treasure, For often at noon, when returned from the field,... I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, The purest and sweetest that nature can yield.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
