Now Was The Sun So Station'd, As When First His Early Radiance Quivers On The Heights, Where Stream'd His Maker's Blood, While Libra Hangs Above Hesperian Ebro, And New Fires Meridian Flash On Ganges' Yellow Tide. So Day Was Sinking, When The' Angel Of God Appear'd Before Us. Joy Was In His Mien. Forth Of The Flame He Stood Upon The Brink, And With A Voice, Whose Lively Clearness Far Surpass'd Our Human, "Blessed Are The Pure In Heart," He Sang: Then Near Him As We Came, "Go Ye Not Further, Holy Spirits!" He Cried, "Ere The Fire Pierce You: Enter In; And List Attentive To The Song Ye Hear From Thence." [mehr]

In The Midway Of This Our Mortal Life, I Found Me In A Gloomy Wood, Astray Gone From The Path Direct: And E'en To Tell It Were No Easy Task, How Savage Wild That Forest, How Robust And Rough Its Growth, Which To Remember Only, My Dismay Renews, In Bitterness Not Far From Death. Yet To Discourse Of What There Good Befell, All Else Will I Relate Discover'd There. How First I Enter'd It I Scarce Can Say, Such Sleepy Dullness In That Instant Weigh'd My Senses Down, When The True Path I Left, But When A Mountain's Foot I Reach'd, Where Clos'd The Valley, That Had Pierc'd My Heart With Dread, I Look'd Aloft, And Saw His Shoulders Broad Already Vested With That Planet's Beam, Who Leads All Wanderers Safe Through Every Way. Then Was A Little Respite To The Fear, That In My Heart's Recesses Deep Had Lain, All Of That Night, So Pitifully Pass'd: And As A Man, With Difficult Short Breath, Forespent With Toiling, 'Scap'd From Sea To Shore, [mehr]

SEVERAL weeks ago an actor-manager requested me to try my hand at a play for the winter season. The offer was unexpected. "My dear sir," I said, "I am immensely flattered, but I have never written a play." Then I hastened to ask, "What kind of play?" for fear the offer might be withdrawn. He replied with sureness and decision. "I want a play," he said, "with lots of pirates and—no poetry." He stressed this with emphatic gesture. "And at least one shooting," he added. It was a slim prescription. He left me to brood upon the matter. The proposal was too flattering to be rejected out of hand. [mehr]

Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (French: [ɡid(ə) mopasɑ̃]; 5 August 1850 – 6 July 1893) was a popular French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form's finest exponents. Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouements (outcomes). Many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s, describing the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught up in events beyond their control, are permanently changed by their experiences. He wrote some 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. His first published story, "Boule de Suif" ("Ball of Fat", 1880), is often considered his masterpiece.
