Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe
Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe
Manuscripts
In "The Lamb" from Songs of Innocence, William Blake captured the sensitive imaginativeness, the knowledge and the awareness of childhood in a filigree of delicate language, verse form, and understanding. He lifted the veil of childhood and revealed that period of life in which imagination, not yet restricted, gives the child a pure understanding of God an his relations to Him and the the world about him...

Canadian Jargon, Mary Bertrand
The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney
The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney
Manuscripts
In the very darkest corner, behind the davenport, there sat a little ice cube. Tears were dripping slowly, monotonously, hopelessly from its block-shaped face. The eerie moonlight peeped around the deserted room and revealed the most pitiful expression one could ever witness en the face of an ice cube. And the reason? The little ice cube was dying. Some careless reveler had flipped it out of a glass in one horrifying fling, and there it lay, in a state of inertia, awaiting the hideous death of an ice cube. Slowly, atom by atom, it was disappearing.
After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis
After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis
Manuscripts
For a brilliant satire on humanity, I can think of no better author to turn to than Aldous Huxley. His rhetoric is flawless, his characters unbelievably typical, and his satire tinged with just the right amount of reality to render it plausible. Born in England, Mr. Huxley has no more mercy on his own countrymen than he has on those of other nationalities. His satire is universal and completely nonpartisan.
William, Nancy Hendricks
William, Nancy Hendricks
Manuscripts
The gravel roads were just beginning to thaw on that early spring day, and each step we took splashed mud at my boots. Some early robins and some perennial sparrows were doing aerial acrobatics in celebration of the new season. William's eyes, however, were not following the birds' gyrations; nor were mine. While he was staring thoughtfully at the road, I was watching the attitude of his ears--watching because his ears are often indicative of his thoughts. At the time, as though he were mildly tolerant of the situation, they were in a reassuringly lax position, neither upright nor flat, …
Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry
Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry
Manuscripts
The wind blew across the glazed surface of the frozen lake, intent upon entering a small cabin on the northern shore. After circling through the trees, glistening from the clean, white snow, the howling messenger of Aeolus descended, sending a wintry blast of air through a slightly opened window.
The Marigold, Cyrus Pierson Jordan
Justice, Patrick J. Mahoney Iii
Justice, Patrick J. Mahoney Iii
Manuscripts
Two sharp knocks. Then the sound of hard heels retreating rapidly away from the solid oak paneled door. Expectancy. Rising from the high-backed chair, Colt in hand, he walked slowly across the pitch black room to the door. Silence.

"Today, in geography we will study about Italy. The chief products of Italy are ... " It is I who should be teaching her. I, who have spent many hours re-living the grandeur of Rome. I, Paul, the famous world-traveler, must sit here and listen to an old maid school teacher.
The Berlin Currency Controversy, Earl Murphy
The Berlin Currency Controversy, Earl Murphy
Manuscripts
At present what is dubbed "The Cold War" has reached a particularly frigid state in the former German capital city of Berlin. Few know just what the immediate cause of the Berlin Blockade really is, and fewer still would understand it if they did, for it lies not in the realm of political ideologies but rather in the realm of economics. It is a dispute over the currency of which occupying power shall circulate in the Western sectors of that city.
The Radio "Give Away" Program, Joseph A. O'Nan
The Radio "Give Away" Program, Joseph A. O'Nan
Manuscripts
Radio "give away" programs are those productions which offer some type of reward to a participant for his efforts on the program. This person mayor may not be present at the actual broadcast. This type of program is of recent origin, but it is rapidly becoming one of the more outstanding forms of radio entertainment.
An Interpretation Of The Musical Themes In Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, George Coffin
An Interpretation Of The Musical Themes In Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, George Coffin
Manuscripts
In a symphonic literary work such as Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, the individual themes which interweave to produce the complex counterpoint of the whole unit can hardly be sufficiently treated in one essay. To avoid such confusion we shall, then, consider only the musical themes and references as they parallel the personality development of Hans Castorp. Through this chronological presentation of references we may observe the evolution of character in musical symbols carefully chosen to express the first simplicity and final complexity of the novel's central character.
A Comparison Of Milton's Treatment Of Death In "Death Of A Fair Infant" And "Marchioness Of Winchester", Barbara Sims
A Comparison Of Milton's Treatment Of Death In "Death Of A Fair Infant" And "Marchioness Of Winchester", Barbara Sims
Manuscripts
It is a tribute to Milton's genius to study his delicate line of demarcation between the treatment of death in "Marchioness of Winchester" and "Death of a Fair Infant." In the latter poem, Mi.lton imbues his work with a tone of comfort and hope-a tone which we do not find in the former poem. Of course, we must keep in mind the fact that in "Death of a Fair Infant," Milton was emotionally connected with the deceased, and would naturally inject his lines with a note of personal grief and sympathy for the bereaved. Upon contemplating Milton's lines, the reader …
Avenge, O Lord, Tom Misch
Avenge, O Lord, Tom Misch
Manuscripts
When Milton wrote his great sonnet, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont," he had just been engaged in one of the most bitter Controversies in his life. In an anonymous pamphlet he had been attacked as a "monster, ugly, huge, bereft of sight," and he answered these charges in even more violent language. After this bitterness had passed, Milton brought forth the eloquent eighteenth sonnet, believed by many critics to be his greatest.
The Setting Of Milton's Eighteenth Sonnet, Quentin West
The Setting Of Milton's Eighteenth Sonnet, Quentin West
Manuscripts
...But this sonnet immortalizes an aspect, perhaps only an insignificant aspect of that age; yet its greatness lies less in its subject, which is hardly a universal one, which is, in fact, little more than the angered outburst of a passing moment, than in the splendour and rolling grandeur of its words. Who can show a finer example of "emotion recollected in tranquility?"
What We Get From Reading Great Books, Frank W. Slupesky
What We Get From Reading Great Books, Frank W. Slupesky
Manuscripts
The term "Great Books" as used in this article refers in general to the classics on the lists compiled by Robert Hutchins and Mortimer Adler of the University of Chicago, Stringfellow Barr of St. John's College, and John Erskine of Columbia University, with the exception of the books which fall into the categories of the exact sciences and belles-Iettres. Those surviving this subtraction come under the broad terms of philosophy and social science, and it is just these Great Books which this article considers. -

Daisy, Arnold H. Balk

Manuscripts
Daisy was a very earnest worker. To Mrs. Dreger, who was out of the house most of the day, all that mattered was that Daisy seemed to get on with the baby, and so all was well with the world.
Between Rounds, William T. Edwards
Between Rounds, William T. Edwards

It was raining outside. Palmer could look out through the large plate-glass window at the front of the bar and see the rain slanting down before headlights that knifed through the dark. He concentrated on his drink.

First Flight, Marie Hammontree
Manuscripts
Two passengers were waiting in the airline office for the first morning flight to Chicago. The limousine for the airport had not yet arrived. Outside it was just daylight. The streets were quiet except for the scurrying steps of an early worker and the clatter of an occasional trolley.
High And Inside, Clyde J. Steckel
High And Inside, Clyde J. Steckel
Manuscripts
Mike Barsen squirmed uneasily in his seat in the press box and peered over onto the playing field, now nearly completely shrouded by the shadows of the west grandstand and bleachers. The game had gone into extra innings, and there was apparently little hope for an immediat~ break in .the one-to-one .deadlock. Al Rosar was pitching for the GIants, startmg the game with a won-lost record of eight and thirteen for the 1948 season. But Mike Barsen, covering the game for the Gazette, knew, perhaps better than anyone else in the stands, how bitterly Al Rosar needed to win the …
The Ball, Roger Chittick
The Ball, Roger Chittick
Manuscripts
B. was very tired, alone and bewildered in the great city. How he had come to be in the center of the city he did not know, and his futile searching to find a way out had worn him into a state of total exhaustion. He was too tired to go further, so he sat down on the sidewalk and went to sleep. He thought it rather strange, in the short interval between the time he sat down and the time he went to sleep, that nobody seemed to pay any attention to the fact that he was there; in …
