Hymns to the Night
Novalis (1772 – 1801) was a poet, mystic, and philosopher. He was influenced by German Idealism, especially the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and became one of the great poets of German Romanticism.
He developed the spiritual symbol of the Blue Flower, an integral part of his ‘religion of love.’ Appearing for the first time in his unfinished novel, Henry von Ofterdingen, the Blue Flower represents man’s longing for heaven.
His first major work, Hymns to the Night, was written upon the death of his beloved fiancee Sophie, who died of tuberculosis when she was fifteen years old.
HYMNS TO THE NIGHT (translated by George MacDonald)
I.
Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light, with its colors, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence in the form of the wakening Day? The giant-world of the unresting constellations inhales it as the innermost soul of life, and floats dancing in its azure flood; the sparkling, ever-tranquil stone, the thoughtful, imbibing plant, and the wild, burning multiform beast inhales it; but more than all, the lordly stranger with the sense-filled eyes, the swaying walk, and the sweetly closed, melodious lips. Like a king over earthly nature, it rouses every force to countless transformations, binds and unbinds innumerable alliances, hangs its heavenly form around every earthly substance. Its presence alone reveals the marvelous splendor of the kingdoms of the world.
Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar lies the world, sunk in a deep grave; waste and lonely is its place. In the chords of the bosom blows a deep sadness. I am ready to sink away in drops of dew, and mingle with the ashes.-- The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, the dreams of childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life, arise in gray garments, like an evening vapor after the sunset. In other regions the light has pitched its joyous tents. What if it should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith of innocence?
What springs up all at once so sweetly boding in my heart, and stills the soft air of sadness? Dost thou also take a pleasure in us, dark Night? What holdest thou under thy mantle, that with hidden power affects my soul? Precious balm drips from thy hand out of its bundle of poppies. Thou upliftest the heavy-laden wings of the soul. Darkly and inexpressibly are we moved: joy-startled, I see a grave face that, tender and worshipful, inclines toward me, and, amid manifold entangled locks, reveals the youthful loveliness of the Mother. How poor and childish a thing seems to me now the Light! how joyous and welcome the departure of the day!-- Didst thou not only therefore, because the Night turns away from thee thy servants, you now strew in the gulfs of space those flashing globes, to proclaim, in seasons of thy absence, thy omnipotence, and thy return?
More heaven.

This summary provides an overview of 3 poems exchanged between Gottfried Benn and Else Lasker-Schüler about love and memory in Berlin in the early 1900s. Else Lasker-Schüler's first poem expresses her clinging love for Benn and the pain of their separation. Benn's response does not offer consolation, describing his solitary path. Lasker-Schüler's second poem depicts her continued longing through painting his face on her room walls and feeling the weight of stars.
Tennsyon first read Charles Lyell's pioneering work Principles of Geology in 1836. The title-page of Lyell's second volume carried a startling epigraph about the perishing of whole species, which influenced Tennyson's views. Later, Tennyson struggled with reconciling his faith with the ideas of natural selection and extinction he encountered in Lyell's work.

If You Forget Me,” Pablo NerudaI want you to know one thing.docxnolanalgernon
“If You Forget Me,” Pablo Neruda
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
“The Second Coming,” William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
We Are Seven
William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
A SIMPLE Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?
I met a little cottage Girl:
5
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.
She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
10
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
—Her beauty made me glad.
‘Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?’
‘How many? Seven in all,’ she said,
15
And wondering looked at me.
‘And where are they? I pray you tell.’
She answered, ‘Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.
20
‘Two of us in the church-yard lie,
My sis.

This document is a letter from Baphomet to Ana Wright discussing death. It states that as immortal stars, there is no true death, only a transition from one state to another. It describes death as shedding one's physical body and embracing eternal ecstasy in union with Nuit. It asserts that for those who know themselves as immortal and dwell in eternity, death has no power and is merely a passing shadow. The letter aims to bring comfort to those facing death by reframing it not as an end but as a continuation of existence in unity with the divine.

However, each statement of what the speaker will do is followed by "But only at [description of tomorrow]", indicating that all of these plans are contingent on the future and will only happen "tomorrow". The poem ends by saying the man wasted today waiting for a tomorrow that never came, as tomorrow abhors those who do not make the most of the present.
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.
K E Y P L A Y E R S
Barbara Silva, CIO
As the chief information officer, Barbara will assemble a team of healthcare professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules. She must ensure that Peachtree is in full compliance with HIPAA regulations for every aspect of the organization
–
not just hospital information systems, but also the operations of related departments and manual processes. Her concerns encompass a large scope of the project, and she will need to identify key people to become involved in this project.

The document describes observations of two children, Romee, a 2.5 year old toddler, and Bo, a 4.5 year old preschooler, at a children's center. For Romee, the observations show her developing social awareness as she seeks attention from her caregiver Mandy and plays with dolls. For Bo, the observations depict him engaging in pretend play by pretending to cook and care for teddy bears, and including other children in his play outside using tricycles. The observations provide examples of how the children's social interactions and play differ due to their different cognitive developmental stages.

I shall lift my arms

“The Second Coming,” William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

The document is a poem that expresses the speaker's desire to accomplish many positive goals that will help humanity, such as spreading empathy, righteousness, and life principles. However, each statement of what the speaker will do is followed by "But only at [description of tomorrow]", indicating that all of these plans are contingent on the future and will only happen "tomorrow". The poem ends by saying the man wasted today waiting for a tomorrow that never came, as tomorrow abhors those who do not make the most of the present.

Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.
K E Y P L A Y E R S
Barbara Silva, CIO
As the chief information officer, Barbara will assemble a team of healthcare professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules. She must ensure that Peachtree is in full compliance with HIPAA regulations for every aspect of the organization

The document describes observations of two children, Romee, a 2.5 year old toddler, and Bo, a 4.5 year old preschooler, at a children's center. For Romee, the observations show her developing social awareness as she seeks attention from her caregiver Mandy and plays with dolls. For Bo, the observations depict him engaging in pretend play by pretending to cook and care for teddy bears, and including other children in his play outside using tricycles. The observations provide examples of how the children's social interactions and play differ due to their different cognitive developmental stages.

Unmasking the Prevailing Culprits in The Present-Day Education System
In pursuit of a holistic, critically provoking, meaningful, and educational oriented environment where teachers are free to teach, and learners are free to think, and the disappointing reality continues to present itself from every dimension. The faults in the current education system are critically unmasked by Mark Edmundson and Paulo Freire in their two invaluable pieces of articles. A careful analysis of the ideas tabled by the two influential education thinkers illustrates numerous underlying commonalities in their works as well as some overlooked ideas in their arguments. The fact that their central ideas in their respective scholarly works revolve around unmasking the true culprits in the present-day education implies that, if Edmundson and Freire were able to converse with each other, they would both agree on the need to change the current education system and build it around critical thinking. It’s to this end that this paper seeks to synthesize their ideas in an attempt to identify common grounds, differences as well the areas they both overlooked.
Looking at the prevailing schooling system in America as well as the ways through which learners are carrying out their studies, the perception of the two education thinkers is of great heed to the whole education system. Deeply entrenched into the Edmundson and Freire respective pieces of literature is the overarching conspiracy and oppression theme where the established, who is this case is the teacher among other the education leaders seek to contain, manipulate, and control the thoughts of the learners. As acknowledged by Freire, “Teachers either work for the liberation of the people- their humanization- or for their domestication, their dominance” (p.243). As a result of this domination and hierarchical relationship, the only knowledge that the learners in the prevailing education system receive are from the teachers, an aspect that dehumanizes the students as they do not get the chance to develop their own knowledge or even challenge the one received from the teachers. The oppression and domination ideology as presented by Freire cast invaluable light on the need for both teachers and students to embrace an “authentic” approach to education which grants them some chance to be aware of their respective incompleteness and eventually strive to be fully human (Freire 244). In a bid to rethink Freire’s oppression implication, as a college student one ought to act as a co-creator of knowledge at the expense of posing as an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the college professor or instructor.
Similarly, Edmundson acknowledges the presence of oppression in thinking and learning approaches in the contemporary schools, but from a different angle from the one used by Freire. While Freire profoundly argues that students are highly dehumanized a.

A broad, general problem seen throughout the country is the integration of online course work into the public-school classroom. Technology is integrated into all levels of education: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and higher education (Leggatt, 2016). It began with a modest inclusion of videos or allowing students to research using school-provided laptops or tablets. This was the simple way of using technology. Now that technology is more accessible and affordable, districts are providing students with digital devices to use in and out of schools, allowing them to utilize their phones, and requiring them to complete coursework online outside of the classroom (Hohlfeld, Ritzhaupt, Dawson, & Wilson,.

Barbara and Judi entered into a contract with Linda, which provided that they open a jewelry store in Fullerton. Linda is obligated to supply all jewelry in accordance with a specified price list. Linda also agreed that she would not personally compete or supply another retail merchant, either directly or indirectly, within the City of Fullerton.
Linda, in order to give the necessary credit to Barbara and Judi, required that Joanne act as a guarantor. Barbara and Judi have been very successful, making substantial profits each month.
After one year's time, Barbara, who also has an additional job as a legal secretary, requires an extended vacation. Judi is fully in agreement. While Barbara is on her vacation, Linda sells jewelry to three additional retailers, all of whom, in the space of one week, open competitive shops in Fullerton. Linda's agreement with the new retailers is to provide inventory to the new stores at a substantially reduced cost, permitting them to sell retail at rates far below Judi and Barbara's cost. In one month's time, Judi closes the business and, unknown to Barbara, files suit in Federal District Court, alleging breach of contract on Linda's part and further alleging that she only has been damaged. Barbara returns from her extended vacation one month after the suit is filed and files a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda files a motion under Rule 19, alleging that Barbara should be joined as a party. Joanne, who lives in Nevada, learns of the lawsuit and asks her attorney to file a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda, in the requisite time, files her answer and files a motion under Rule 14 to implead the Rhodesian Diamond Company, her supplier and with whom she has a contract which required that she increase her sales and open new offices or lose her contract.
Assume proper jurisdiction of the subject matter, parties and venue. Discuss all civil procedure issues and give proper argument concerning motions made by Linda, Joanne and Barbara.

1. Proposed Legislation
Effective: July 14, 2018
KRS § 403.270
403.270 Custodial issues; best interests of child shall determine; rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in child’s best interests; de facto custodian
Currentness
(1) (a) As used in this chapter and KRS 405.020, unless the context requires otherwise, “de facto custodian” means a person who has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have been the primary caregiver for, and financial supporter of, a child who has resided with the person for a period of six (6) months or more if the child is under three (3) years of age and for a period of one (1) year or more if the child is three (3) years of age or older or has been placed by the Department for Community Based Services. Any period of time after a legal proceeding has been commenced by a parent seeking to regain custody of the child shall not be included in determining whether the child has resided with the person for the required minimum period.
(b) A person shall not be a de facto custodian until a court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person meets the definition of de facto custodian established in paragraph (a) of this subsection. Once a court determines that a person meets the definition of de facto custodian, the court shall give the person the same standing in custody matters that is given to each parent under this section and KRS 403.280, 403.340, 403.350, 403.822, and 405.020.
(2) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and equal consideration shall be given to each parent and to any de facto custodian. Subject to KRS 403.315, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of evidence, that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child. If a deviation from equal parenting time is warranted, the court shall construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent or de facto custodian has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(a) The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his or her custody;
(b) The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian, with due consideration given to the influence a parent or de facto custodian may have over the child's wishes;
(c) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, his or her siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
(d) The motivation of the adults participating in the custody proceeding;
(e) The child's adjustment and continuing proximity to his or her home, school, and community;
(f) The mental and physical health of all in.

BalanchineGeorge Balanchine is an important figure in the histor.docxwilcockiris
Balanchine
George Balanchine is an important figure in the history of ballet as he was a major exponent of ballet in the US. He established the first school of American ballet in NYC with Lincoln Kirstein in 1934. Balanchine’s style has been called Neoclassical and the success of his NYC Ballet has spawned many regional companies in the US, including Miami City Ballet, keeping his repertory alive. Balanchine brought a new aesthetic to ballet, stripping away its sentimentality and bringing attention to the movement rather than the spectacle. He brought quick footwork, precision and musicality to classical ballet technique. He collaborated extensively with the composer Stravinsky. His work with the Ballet Russe in the early 20th century exposed Balanchine to the most prominent musical composers and visual artists of the period (i.e. Picasso, Matisse, etc.) which influenced his experimentation with abstraction in the form.
Ballet continues to evolve today. Traditional classical ballets such as Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake are still performed today with the addition of more contemporary interpretations of the form. Some examples of contemporary ballet:
Modern Dance
Modern dance began as a departure from the restrictions of ballet and a desire to express a wider palette of the human experience. It emphasized the expression of emotion, the exploration of dynamics in the body and presented narratives in a more abstract manner. Some modern dance pioneers eventually developed their own codification and/or process for working. The postmodern dancers rejected codification of any kind as well as known methods for composition. They valued personal movement, innovative forms of performance and preferred abstraction over story telling.
Pioneers of Modern Dance
Isadora Duncan 1877-1927, believed movement should be drawn from nature and was inspired by Ancient Greece, wearing long toga-like robes in her performances. The Duncan technique was comprised of movements such as hopping, swinging, running, skipping and leaping; her desire was to free the body from the confines of ballet.
Ruth St Denis 1878-1968, was inspired by the dances of Asia, in addition to other culturally based forms. She is well known for her grand spectacles, creating a formal school/company. Her husband Ted Shawn was also a pioneer in modern dance who created an all male dance company in addition to performing with Ruth. Martha Graham was a student Ruth St. Denis and later became a member of her company.
Mary Wigman 1886-1973, was a German dancer/choreographer inspired by Expressionism, an artistic movement that emphasized raw emotions. She was a student of Rudolf Laban. In her famous Witch Dance, she went against traditional norms of female beauty in dance.

Rudolf Laban 1879-1958, is sometimes referred to as the father of German modern dance; he developed a system for notating dance called Labanotation in addition to developin.

1. Hymns to the Night
Novalis (1772 – 1801) was a poet, mystic, and philosopher. He
was influenced by German Idealism, especially the philosopher
Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and became one of the great poets of
German Romanticism.
He developed the spiritual symbol of the Blue Flower, an
integral part of his ‘religion of love.’ Appearing for the first
time in his unfinished novel, Henry von Ofterdingen, the Blue
Flower represents man’s longing for heaven.
His first major work, Hymns to the Night, was written upon the
death of his beloved fiancee Sophie, who died of tuberculosis
when she was fifteen years old.
HYMNS TO THE NIGHT (translated by George MacDonald)
I.
Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around
him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light,
with its colors, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence
in the form of the wakening Day? The giant-world of the
unresting constellations inhales it as the innermost soul of life,
and floats dancing in its azure flood; the sparkling, ever-
tranquil stone, the thoughtful, imbibing plant, and the wild,
burning multiform beast inhales it; but more than all, the lordly
stranger with the sense-filled eyes, the swaying walk, and the
sweetly closed, melodious lips. Like a king over earthly nature,
it rouses every force to countless transformations, binds and
unbinds innumerable alliances, hangs its heavenly form around
every earthly substance. Its presence alone reveals the
marvelous splendor of the kingdoms of the world.
2. Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar
lies the world, sunk in a deep grave; waste and lonely is its
place. In the chords of the bosom blows a deep sadness. I am
ready to sink away in drops of dew, and mingle with the ashes.-
- The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, the dreams of
childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life,
arise in gray garments, like an evening vapor after the sunset. In
other regions the light has pitched its joyous tents. What if it
should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith
of innocence?
What springs up all at once so sweetly boding in my heart, and
stills the soft air of sadness? Dost thou also take a pleasure in
us, dark Night? What holdest thou under thy mantle, that with
hidden power affects my soul? Precious balm drips from thy
hand out of its bundle of poppies. Thou upliftest the heavy-
laden wings of the soul. Darkly and inexpressibly are we
moved: joy-startled, I see a grave face that, tender and
worshipful, inclines toward me, and, amid manifold entangled
locks, reveals the youthful loveliness of the Mother. How poor
and childish a thing seems to me now the Light! how joyous and
welcome the departure of the day!-- Didst thou not only
therefore, because the Night turns away from thee thy servants,
you now strew in the gulfs of space those flashing globes, to
proclaim, in seasons of thy absence, thy omnipotence, and thy
return?
More heavenly than those glittering stars we hold the eternal
eyes which the Night hath opened within us. Farther they see
than the palest of those countless hosts. Needing no aid from
the light, they penetrate the depths of a loving soul that fills a
loftier region with bliss ineffable. Glory to the queen of the
world, to the great prophet of the holier worlds, to the guardian
of blissful love! she sends thee to me, thou tenderly beloved,
the gracious sun of the Night. Now am I awake, for now am I
3. thine and mine. Thou hast made me know the Night, and
brought her to me to be my life; thou hast made of me a man.
Consume my body with the ardour of my soul, that I, turned to
finer air, may mingle more closely with thee, and then our
bridal night endure for ever.
II.
Must the morning always return? Will the despotism of the
earthly never cease? Unholy activity consumes the angel-visit
of the Night. Will the time never come when Love’s hidden
sacrifice shall burn eternally? To the Light a season was set; but
everlasting and boundless is the dominion of the Night. Endless
is the duration of sleep. Holy Sleep, gladden not too seldom in
this earthly day-labor, the devoted servant of the Night. Fools
alone mistake thee, knowing nought of sleep but the shadow
which, in the twilight of the real Night, thou pitifully castest
over us. They feel thee not in the golden flood of the grapes, in
the magic oil of the almond tree, and the brown juice of the
poppy. They know not that it is thou who hauntest the bosom of
the tender maiden, and makest a heaven of her lap; never
suspect it is thou, opening the doors to Heaven, that steppest to
meet them out of ancient stories, bearing the key to the
dwellings of the blessed, silent messenger of secrets infinite.
III.
Once when I was shedding bitter tears, when, dissolved in pain,
my hope was melting away, and I stood alone by the barren
mound which in its narrow dark bosom hid the vanished form of
my Life, lonely as never yet was lonely man, driven by anxiety
unspeakable, powerless, and no longer anything but a conscious
misery;--as there I looked about me for help, unable to go on or
to turn back, and clung to the fleeting, extinguished life with an
endless longing: then, out of the blue distances -- from the hills
of my ancient bliss, came a shiver of twilight -- and at once
4. snapt the bond of birth, the chains of the Light. Away fled the
glory of the world, and with it my mourning; the sadness flowed
together into a new, unfathomable world. Thou, soul of the
Night, heavenly Slumber, didst come upon me; the region gently
upheaved itself; over it hovered my unbound, newborn spirit.
The mound became a cloud of dust, and through the cloud I saw
the glorified face of my beloved. In her eyes eternity reposed. I
laid hold of her hands, and the tears became a sparkling bond
that could not be broken. Into the distance swept by, like a
tempest, thousands of years. On her neck I welcomed the new
life with ecstatic tears. Never was was such another dream; then
first and ever since I hold fast an eternal, unchangeable faith in
the heaven of the Night, and its Light, the Beloved.
IV.
Now I know when will come the last morning: when the Light
no more scares away the Night and Love, when sleep shall be
without waking, and but one continuous dream. I feel in me a
celestial exhaustion. Long and weariful was my pilgrimage to
the holy grave, and crushing was the cross. The crystal wave,
which, imperceptible to the ordinary sense, springs in the dark
bosom of the mound against whose foot breaks the flood of the
world, he who has tasted it, he who has stood on the mountain
frontier of the world, and looked across into the new land, into
the abode of the Night, verily he turns not again into the tumult
of the world, into the land where dwells the Light in ceaseless
unrest. On those heights he builds for himself tabernacles--
tabernacles of peace; there longs and loves and gazes across,
until the welcomest of all hours draws him down into the waters
of the spring. Afloat above remains what is earthly, and is swept
back in storms; but what became holy by the touch of Love,
runs free through hidden ways to the region beyond, where, like
odours, it mingles with love asleep. Still wakest thou, cheerful
Light, that weary man to his labour, and into me pourest
gladsome life; but thou wilest me not away from Memory’s
5. moss-grown monument. Gladly will I stir busy hands,
everywhere behold where thou hast need of me; bepraise the
rich pomp of thy splendor; pursue unwearied the lovely
harmonies of thy skilled handicraft; gladly contemplate the
clever pace of thy mighty, radiant clock; explore the balance of
the forces and the laws of the wondrous play of countless
worlds and their seasons; but true to the Night remains my
secret heart, and to creative Love, her daughter.
Canst thou show me a heart eternally true? Has thy sun friendly
eyes that know me? Do thy stars lay hold of my longing hand?
Do they return me the tender pressure and the caressing word?
Was it thou did bedeck them with colours and a flickering
outline? Or was it she who gave to thy jewels a higher, a dearer
significance? What delight, what pleasure offers thy life, to
outweigh the transports of Death? Wears not everything that
inspirits us the livery of the Night? Thy mother, it is she brings
thee forth, and to her thou owest all thy glory. Thou wouldst
vanish into thyself, thou wouldst dissipate in boundless space,
if she did not hold thee fast, if she swaddled thee not, so that
thou grewest warm, and flaming, gavest birth to the universe.
Verily I was before thou wast; the mother sent me with sisters
to inhabit thy world, to sanctify it with love that it might be an
ever-present memorial, to plant it with flowers unfading. As yet
they have not ripened, these thoughts divine; as yet is there
small trace of our coming apocalypse. One day thy clock will
point to the end of Time, and then thou shalt be as one of us,
and shalt, full of ardent longing, be extinguished and die. I feel
in me the close of thy activity, I taste heavenly freedom, and
happy restoration. With wild pangs I recognize thy distance
from our home, thy feud with the ancient, glorious Heaven. Thy
rage and thy raving are in vain. Inconsumable stands the cross,
victory-flag of our race.
Over I pilgrim
Where every pain
Zest only of pleasure
6. Shall one day remain.
Yet a few moments
Then free am I,
And intoxicated
In Love’s lap lie.
Life everlasting
Lifts, wave-like, at me:
I gaze from its summit
Down after thee.
Oh Sun, thou must vanish
Yon yon hillock beneath;
A shadow will bring thee
Thy cooling wreath.
Oh draw at my heart, love,
Draw till I’m gone,
That, fallen asleep, I
Still may love on.
I feel the flow of
Death’s youth-giving flood;
To balsam and æther, it
Changes my blood!
I live all the daytime
In faith and in might:
And in holy rapture
I die every night.
V.
In ancient times an iron Fate lorded it, with dumb force, over
the widespread families of men. A gloomy oppression swathed
their anxious souls: the earth was boundless, the abode of the
gods and their home. From eternal ages stood its mysterious
structure. Beyond the red hills of the morning, in the sacred
bosom of the sea, dwelt the sun, the all-enkindling, live
luminary. An aged giant upbore the happy world. Prisoned
beneath mountains lay the first-born sons of mother Earth,
7. helpless in their destroying fury against the new, glorious race
of gods, and their kindred, glad-hearted men. Ocean’s dusky,
green abyss was the lap of a goddess. In the crystal grottos
revelled a wanton folk. Rivers, trees, flowers, and beasts had
human wits. Sweeter tasted the wine, poured out by Youth
impersonated; a god was in the grape-clusters; a loving,
motherly goddess upgrew in the full golden sheaves; love’s
sacred carousal was a sweet worship of the fairest of the
goddesses. Life revelled through the centuries like one spring-
time, an ever-variegated festival of the children of and the
dewllers on the earth. All races childlike adored the ethereal,
thousand-fold flame as the one sublimest thing in the world.
It was but a fancy, a horrible dream-shape—
That fearsome to the merry tables strode,
And wrapt the spirit in wild consternation.
The gods themselves here counsel knew nor showed
To fill the stifling heart with consolation.
Mysterious was the monster’s pathless road,
Whose rage would heed no prayer and no oblation;
‘Twas Death who broke the banquet up with fears,
With anguish, with dire pain, and bitter tears.
Eternally from all things here disparted
That sway the heart with pleasure’s joyous flow,
Divided from the loved, whom, broken-hearted,
Vain longing tosses and unceasing woe--
In a dull dream to struggle, faint and thwarted,
Seemed all was granted to the dead below!
Broke lay the merry wave of human glory
On Death’s inevitable promontory.
With daring flight, aloft Thoughts pinions sweep;,
The horrid thing with beauty’ss robe men cover:
A gentle youth puts out his torch, to sleep;
8. Sweet comes the end, like moaning lute of lover.
Cool shadow-floods o’er melting memory creep:
So sang the song, for Misery was the mover.
Still undeciphered lay the endless Night--
The solemn symbol of a far-off Might.
The old world began to decline. The pleasure-garden of the
young race withered away; up into opener, regions and desolate,
forsaking his childhood, struggled the growing man. The gods
vanished with their retinue. Nature stood alone and lifeless. Dry
Number and rigid Measure bound her with iron chains. As into
dust and air the priceless blossoms of life fell away in words
obscure. Gone was wonder-working Faith, and its all-
transforming, all-uniting angel-comrade, the Imagination. A
cold north wind blew unkindly over the torpid plain, and the
wonderland first froze, then evaporated into Ãther. The far
depths of heaven filled with flashing worlds. Into the deeper
sanctuary, into the more exalted region of the mind, the soul of
the world retired with all her powers, there to rule until the
dawn should break of the glory universal. No longer was the
Light the abode of the gods, and the heavenly token of their
presence: they cast over them the veil of the Night. The Night
became the mighty womb of revelations; into it the gods went
back, and fell asleep, to go abroad in new and more glorious
shapes over the transfigured world. Among the people which,
untimely ripe, was become of all the most scornful and
insolently hostile to the blessed innocence of youth, appeared
the New World, in guise never seen before, in the song-
favouring hut of poverty, a son of the first maid and mother, the
eternal fruit of mysterious embrace. The foreseeing, rich-
blossoming wisdom of the East at once recognized the
beginning of the new age; a star showed it the way to the lowly
cradle of the king. In the name of the far-reaching future, they
did him homage with lustre and odour, the highest wonders of
Nature. In solitude the heavenly heart unfolded itelf to a flower-
chalice of almighty love, upturned to the supreme face of the
9. father, and resting on the bliss-boding bosom of the sweetly
solemn mother. With deifying fervour the prophetic eye of the
blooming child beheld the years to come, foresaw, untroubled
over the earthly lot of his own days, the beloved offspring of
his divine stem. Ere long the most childlike souls, by true love
marvellously possessed, gathered about him. Like flowers
sprang up a strange new life in his presence. Words
inexhaustible and the most joyful fell like sparks of a divine
spirit from his friendly lips. From a far shore, came a singer,
born under the clear sky of Hellas, to Palestine, and gave up his
whole heart to the marvellous child:-
The youth thou art who ages long hast stood
Upon our graves, lost in am aze of weening;
Sign in the darkness of God’s tidings good,
Whence hints og growth humanity is gleaning;
For that we long, on that we sweetly brood
Which erst in woe had lost all life and meaning;
In everlasting life death found its goal,
For thou art Death who at last mak’st us whole.
Filled with joy, the singer went on to Indostan, his heart
intoxicated with the sweetest love, and poured it out in fiery
songs under that tender sky, so that a thousand hearts bowed to
him, and the good news sprang up with a thousand branches.
Soon after the singer’s departure, his precious life was made a
sacrifice for the deep fall of man. He died in his youth, torn
away from his loved world, from his weeping mother, and his
trembling friends. His lovely mouth emptied the dark cup of
unspeakable wrongs. In horrible anguish the birth of the new
world drew near. Hard he wrestled with the terrors of old Death;
heavy lay the weight of the old world upon him. Yet once more
he looked kindly at his mother; then came the releasing hand of
the Love eternal, and he fell asleep. Only a few days hung a
deep veil over the roaring sea, over the quaking land; countless
tears wept his loved ones; the mystery was unsealed: heavenly
10. spirits heaved the ancient stone from the gloomy grave. Angels
sat by the sleeper, sweetly outbodied from his dreams; awaked
in new Godlike glory, he clomb the limits of the new-born
world, buried with his own hand the old corpse in the forsaken
cavity, and with hand almighty laid upon it the stone which no
power shall again upheave.
Yet weep thy loved ones over thy grave tears of joy, tears of
emotion, tears of endless thanksgiving; ever afresh with joyous
start, they see thee rise again, and themselves with thee; behold
thee weep with soft fervour on the blessed bosom of thy mother,
walk in thoughtful communion with thy friends, uttering words
plucked as from the tree of life; see thee hasten, full of longing,
into thy father’s arms, bearing with thee youthful Humanity,
and the inexhaustible cup of the golden Future. Soon the mother
hastened after thee in heavenly triumph; she was the first with
thee in the new home. Since then, long ages have flowed past,
and in splendour ever-increasing have bestirred thy new
creation, and thousands have, out of pangs and tortures,
followed thee, filled with faith and longing and truth, and are
walking about with thee and the heavenly virgin in the kingdom
of Love, minister in the temple of heavenly Death, and forever
thine.
Uplifted is the stone,
And all mankind is risen;
We all remain thine own.
And vanished is our prison.
All troubles flee away
Before thy golden cup;
For Earth nor Life can stay
When with our Lord we sup.
To the marriage Death doth call;
No virgin holdeth back;
The lamps burn lustrous all;
11. Of oil there is no lack.
Would thy far feet were waking
The echoes of our street!
And that the stars were making
Signal with voices sweet.
To thee, O mother maiden
Ten thousand hearts aspire;
In this life, sorrow-laden,
Thee only they desire.
In thee they hope for healing;
In thee expect true rest,
When thou, their safety sealing,
Shalt clasp them to thy breast.
With disappointment burning
Who made in hell their bed,
At last from this world turning
To thee have looked and fled:
Helpful thou hast appeared
To us in many a pain:
Now to thy home we’ve neared,
Not to go out again!
Now at no grave are weeping
Such as do love and pray;
The gift that Love is keeping
From none is taken away.
To soothe and quiet our longing,
Night comes, and stills the smart;
Heaven’s children round us thronging
Watch and ward our heart.
Courage! for life is striding
To endless life along;
The sense in love abiding,
12. Grows clearer and more strong.
One day the stars, down dripping,
Shall flow in golden wine:
We, of that nectar sipping,
As living stars will shine.
Free, from the tomb emerges
Love, to die never more;
Fulfilled, life heaves and surges
A sea without a shore.
All night! all blissful leisure!
One jubilating ode!
And the sun of all our pleasure
The countenance of God.
VI.
Longing for Death
Into the bosom of the earth!
Out of the Light’s dominions!
Death’s pains are but the bursting forth
Of glad departures pinions!
Swift in the narrow little boat,
Swift to the heavenly shore we float!
Blest be the everlasting Night,
And blest the endless slumber!
We are heated with the day too bright,
And withered up with cumber!
We’re weary of that life abroad:
Come, we will now go home to God!
Why longer in this world abide?
Why love and truth here cherish?
That which is old is set aside--
13. For us the new may perish!
Alone he stands and sore downcast
Who loves with pious warmth the Past.
The Past where yet the human spirit
In lofty flames did rise;
Where men the Father did inherit,
His countenance recognize;
And, in simplicity made ripe,
Many grew like their archetype.
The Past wherein, still rich in bloom
Old stems did burgeon glorious;
And children, for the world to come,
Sought pain and death victorious;
And, through both life and pleasure spake,
Yet many a heart for love did break.
The Past, where to the flow of youth
God yet himself declared;
And early death in loving truth
The young beheld, and dared--
Anguish and torture parient bore
To prove they loved him as of yore
With anxious yearning now we see
That Past in darkness drenched;
With this world’s water never we
Shall find our hot thirst quenched:
To our old home we have to go
That blessed time again to know.
What yet doth hinder our return?
Long since repose our precious!
Their grave is of our life the bourne;
We shrink from times ungracious!
14. By not a hope are we decoyed:
The heart is full; the world is void.
Infinite and mysterious,
Thrills through me a sweet trembling,
As if from far there echoed thus
A sigh, our grief resembling:
The dear ones long as well as I,
And sent to me their waiting sigh.
Down to the sweet bride, and away
To the beloved Jesus!
Courage! the evening shades grow gray,
Of all our griefs to ease us!
A dream will dash our chains apart,
And lay us on the Father’s heart
