My heart is pure yet she forgets that

Who lives to make his fellows happy;

Sketches In The Exhibition

The Map
Land lies in water; it is shadowed green.
Shadows, or are they shallows, at its edges
showing the line of long sea-weeded ledges
where weeds hang to the simple blue from green.

To Mr. Rose;

William Shakespeare
A Prouder Man Than You
If you fancy that your people came of better stock than mine,
If you hint of higher breeding by a word or by a sign,

No joy but the fierce one which Carnage bestows,
When her foul lips are clogged with the blood of her foes.

The Columbiad: Book I
The Argument
Natives of America appear in vision. Their manners and characters. Columbus demands the cause of the dissimilarity of men in different countries, Hesper replies, That the human body is composed of a due proportion of the elements suited to the place of its first formation; that these elements, differently proportioned, produce all the changes of health, sickness, growth and decay; and may likewise produce any other changes which occasion the diversity of men; that these elemental proportions are varied, not more by climate than temperature and other local circumstances; that the mind is likewise in a state of change, and will take its physical character from the body and from external objects: examples. Inquiry concerning the first peopling of America. View of Mexico. Its destruction by Cortez. View of Cusco and Quito, cities of Peru. Tradition of Capac and Oella, founders of the Peruvian empire. Columbus inquires into their real history. Hesper gives an account of their origin, and relates the stratagems they used in establishing that empire.

Since heâ??d smothered Stonewall Menzie, also Anderson, the black.

It is with such emotion
As when, in childhood, turning a dim street,
I first beheld the ocean.

Now in a voice that thrills eternity,
Ever there comes an onward phrase to me
Of some transcendent music I have heard;
