Seite 195 - The majority of the investigations were carried on during the latter part of the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century, but a few investigators have continued the study to the present day.
Seite 77 - That here at midnight, in our little town A mourning figure walks, and will not rest, Near the old court-house pacing up and down, Or by his homestead, or in shadowed yards He lingers where his children used to play, Or through the market, on the well-worn stones He stalks until the dawn-stars burn away. A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black, A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl Make him the quaint great figure that men love, The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.
Seite 74 - They guide to valley and ridge's end. The kestrel hovering by day, And the little owls that call by night, Bid him be swift and keen as they, As keen of ear, as swift of sight. The blackbird sings to him, 'Brother, brother, If this be the last song you shall sing, Sing well, for you may not sing another; Brother, sing.
Seite 75 - In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Seite 322 - BUREAU OF MUNICIPAL. INFORMATION OF THE NEW YORK STATE CONFERENCE OF MAYORS AND OTHER CITY OFFICIALS...
Seite 75 - How still this quiet cornfield is to-night ! By an intenser glow the evening falls, Bringing, not darkness, but a deeper light ; Among the stocks a partridge covey calls. The windows glitter on the distant hill ; Beyond the hedge the sheep-bells in the fold Stumble on sudden music and are still ; The forlorn pinewoods droop above the wold. An endless quiet valley reaches out Past the blue hills into the evening sky ; Over the stubble, cawing, goes a rout Of rooks from harvest, flagging as they fly.
Seite 74 - Nor lead nor steel shall reach him, so That it be not the Destined Will. The thundering line of battle stands, And in the air Death moans and sings ; But Day shall clasp him with strong hands, And Night shall fold him in soft wings.
