Shakespeare-Oxford Society The Solitude of Alexander Selkirk I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute, From the center all round to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute. O Solitude! where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms Than reign in this horrible place. I am out of humanity's reach, I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech,-- I start at the sound of my own. Society, Friendship, and Love, Divinely bestow'd upon man, Oh, had I the wings of a dove, How soon would I taste you again! Ye winds that have made me your sport, Convey to this desolate shore Some cordial endearing report Of a land I shall visit no more! My friends--do they now and then send A wish or a thought after me? How fleet is a glance of the mind! But the seafowl is gone to her nest, The beast is laid down in his lair, Even here is a season of rest, And I to my cabin repair.

I find it a little difficult to disentangle the causes that have restricted the flow of these inventions. The 'nineties was a good and stimulating period for a short-story writer. It is now quite unusual to see any adequate criticism of short stories in English. It was not, of course, all good talk, and we suffered then, as now, from the critic. As I sit writing in my study, I can hear our Jane bumping her way downstairs with a brush and dust-pan. "His , Jane?"

The Whirligig of Life--O. Henry (1862-1910) The Whirligig of Life by O. Henry (1862-1910) Word Count: 2256 JUSTICE-OF-THE-PEACE Benaja Widdup sat in the door of his office smoking his elder-stem pipe. Up the road came a sound of creaking axles, and then a slow cloud of dust, and then a bull-cart bearing Ransie Bilbro and his wife. The Justice of the Peace slipped his feet into his shoes, for the sake of dignity, and moved to let them enter. "We-all," said the woman, in a voice like the wind blowing through pine boughs, "wants a divo'ce." "A divo'ce," repeated Ransie, with a solemn Dod. "When he's a no-'count varmint," said the woman, "without any especial warmth, a-traipsin' along of scalawags and moonshiners and a-layin' on his back pizen 'ith co'n whiskey, and a-pesterin' folks with a pack o' hungry, triflin' houn's to feed!" "When he's al'ays a-fightin' the revenues, and gits a hard name in the mount'ins fur a mean man, who's gwine to be able fur to sleep o' nights?" The Justice of the Peace stirred deliberately to his duties.
