Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/27677-h/images/ill-001a.png b/27677-h/images/ill-001a.png Binary files differnew file mode

+ + So quick, so sharp, too oft it cleaves + The sandal-chain of love, and leaves + But fragrant, broken, links at last + To bind us to a ruined past. + + Too often fixing deeps of woe + Between us and the long ago; + Bridging a gulf toward mem'ries green, + With one regret--"it might have been." + + Oh, why, when life is in its June + Of fruity fragrance, perfect tune, + Does passion's stormy pride destroy + Youths' heritage of love and joy? + + One jealous breath will oft disclose + A canker in hope's perfect rose, + For the false fever heat of strife + To nurse, and nourish into life. + + Oh, Daisy Dare! the sea is wide: + Dear is the lover by thy side: + The sea is treacherous, hungry, deep, + And millions o'er its treasures weep. + + His heart relented--strong hearts do; + Yet more relenting, oft less true + Than those, unyielding, that defy + The deathless love of which they die. + + "As forest saplings, by the sun + Together knit till two are one-- + One trunk, one bark, one sap, one tree-- + Our hearts have been, should ever be. + + "Let sharp steel cleave that circling rind, + No art its severed strength could bind; + Should anger part thy love from mine, + Holds earth another heart for thine?" + + Oh, stubborn pride! unyielding still; + Her heart is conquered; but her will + Defies its tender, pleading tone: + She left him--they were both alone. + + * * * * * + + When eve her golden goblet fills + Among the sunset's purple hills, + And overflows that sunset wine + In streams of glory on the brine, + + Unto the shore a maiden came, + Who gazed where, down that track of flame + A steamer to the west did dip: + Her heart went outward with the ship. + + She had not kept her tryst that day, + Nor waved her hand to Allen Gray: + Both little hands were still--'twas true + She could not "give her heart to two." + + She heard the parting signals sound, + And then the haughty pride that bound + Her woman's heart, which had defied + Her woman's love, grew faint and died. + +[Illustration: + + "She wandered hopeless to the strand, + And, hopeless, westward waved her hand."] + + She heard the steamship's iron bell; + Turned to the shore, but faltered, fell-- + For ocean steamers do not wait + On love--her pride gave way too late. + + "Too late!" she heard it rise and swell, + Tolled by the iron steamer's bell; + Told by the mocking voice of Fate, + Rung through her heart, "too late!" "too late!" + + And now, when from that outward bound, + Defiant distance brought no sound, + She wandered hopeless to the strand, + And, hopeless, westward waved her hand. + + The steamer's black smoke drifting far + Rose up and hid the evening star: + A bitter symbol of that strife + Between love's day-star and her life. + + In the late gloaming's purple gloom + She wandered home; but half the bloom + Had faded from her cheek and lips: + Love's orient was in eclipse. + + * * * * * + + * * * * * + + "The ship went down!" such message crossed + The lightning wire, and all were lost + Save Captain Gray, and two or three; + Among them was not Graham Lee. + + From Daisy's hand the paper fell; + No cry she uttered, but a swell + Of anguish through her heart did sweep, + Bearing it downward to the deep. + + As the green pallor of a storm + A summer landscape doth deform, + Making a livid shadow grow + Athwart the noon-day's ruddy glow, + + Across the future once so fair, + So ripe with joy for Daisy Dare, + Fate's cruel sickle swept, and left + Life of its golden harvest reft. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration: + + "Turning her white cheek from the light, + Clasping her small hands fiercely tight!"] + +[Illustration] + + +PART II. + + + Women are deemed cold, careless, proud, + Who suffer bravely in a crowd; + Smiles flash from hearts in sorrow set, + As gleams from jewels edged with jet. + + Some months had passed--it was not long-- + When Daisy stood amid a throng, + Turning her white cheek from the light, + Clasping her small hands fiercely tight! + + For she had heard two brave men say,-- + A stranger one--one Allen Gray,-- + No braver hero ever died + Than he whose love she lost through pride. + + Unselfish, earnest, daring, brave, + All but himself he tried to save; + Heedless of death and danger--why? + One heart alone could make reply. + + One spirit that had vainly sought + Rest from a hungry surge of thought; + Fierce retribution!--thus to be + Tortured by praise of Graham Lee! + + Hero! but not for her to claim-- + There was the anguish, there the shame: + How little yielding 'twould have cost + To call him still her own, though lost. + + But she had cast away the right, + And, mutely wretched, heard that night, + With stormy heart and tearless cheek, + His praise whose name she dared not speak. + + Few knew that they were lovers--none + That their two hearts had pulsed as one; + So the world called her cold and changed; + Friends thought her haughty and estranged. + + The current of her life's May-time + Ran chill beneath a crust of rime; + And lovers wore, for Daisy's sake, + The icy chains they could not break. + + A yearning sadness in her face + But added to that nameless grace, + That spell by which some women reign + In hearts they never strove to gain. + + Love fell on her superb repose + Like warm light on a sculptured rose, + As if--beguiled--to flush apart + The chiselled whiteness of its heart. + + The voice of passion to her soul + Swept, as the storm-voiced surges roll + Up toward a star-like beacon steep, + Dashed backward rayless to the deep. + + As fire-fly lighting up a maze + Of cobwebs with its dying blaze; + Held by a grim black spider fast-- + Flashing with glory to the last. + + Thus tangled in a cruel fate, + Dared through her folly, feared too late, + The light of Daisy's lost love made + The past fall back in deepest shade. + + Strong natures suffer more than those + Who, bowing down, parade their woes + For a brief season, and then rise: + The brave heart uncomplaining dies. + + So after years that inner gloom + Had only softened Daisy's bloom, + Giving such meaning to her eyes + As worldlings cannot analyze. + + And when her pink cheek turned too soon + Pale as magnolia buds in June, + No one could call its fairness blight, + Or wish a flush upon the white. + + When just one shade of roundness passed + From her proud form, they said at last + That she must travel. Well she knew + Love and regret would travel too! + + 'Twas not one shore alone, whose surge + Came wailing to her like a dirge; + The surf, the waves of every sea, + Everywhere, moaned of Graham Lee. + + And when in a far distant land, + Upon a sunny southern strand, + Where warm waves, green as malachite, + Come leaping, as from vats of light, + + Where summer's sumptuous golden blaze + Wraps earth in a voluptuous haze + Of lambent splendor; where the skies + Drop balm as erst in Paradise, + + Where clusters of imperial trees + Nod their green plumes o'er slumberous seas; + Warm, amorous deeps! whose crystal calms + Dream of the emerald-crested palms. + + A shore of bloom! a sea so bright! + Entranced they mingle in the light; + Apart--yet wedded by the sun, + As severed hearts through love made one. + + Where air as an elixir fine + Exhilarates like sparkling wine; + Where mere existence brings a joy + Life's trifling ills cannot destroy: + + There, where the aromatic breeze-- + Fledged in a nest of orange-trees, + Kissing the slumb'rous waves--made sweet + The sea-foam swept to Daisy's feet. + + The gloom, the shadow, passed not by; + Still white her cheek, as shells that lie + Like drifted snow on golden strand, + Where stood she writing in the sand. + + And still the envious surges came + To wash away that precious name + Writ on her heart's warm shore for years, + Merged by its tidal flow of tears. + + She stood in a sequestered cove, + While countless memories of love + Heaped treasure, till her sea of grief + Blushed--breaking on a coral-reef! + + For precious memories often grow + From out the darkest voids of woe; + As fissures by the sea-worm drilled + In Eastern shells, with pearls are filled. + + The creeping tide swells, shot with flame, + Stole up and kissed away that name + Which Fate indeed, with mocking hand, + For her had written in the sand. + + Outward, upon her right did reach + A long, white, narrow line of beach, + Where careless groups now idly strayed, + Watching the flush of sunset fade. + + And when across that crimson glow + Her gaze went out as long ago, + O'er colder seas, unto a ship + Which toward the setting sun did dip, + + On the far point of that white sand + Standing together, hand in hand, + Like forms of sculptured bronze revealed + Against the sunset's burnished shield, + + Two figures smote her 'wildered sight, + And left two blots upon the light; + Darker than iron ship afar + Or smoke that hid the evening star. + + For there, between her and the sun, + Stood Graham Lee, and with him one + Whose beauty stirred to bitter strife + The chilly current of her life. + +[Illustration: + + "Two figures smote her 'wildered sight, + And left two blots upon the light."] + + + As summer sends a mighty thrill + Through clust'ring icy floes, until + Their shudd'ring breaks the ghastly sleep + Of Nova Zembla's pallid deep. + + More dead he seemed to her that hour-- + There, in the strength of manly power, + Bending to see those dark eyes shine-- + Than cold and still beneath the brine. + + Six years had marked their weary length + On her young life--whose faith and strength + A widowed heart left purified-- + To live, now wishing she had died. + + More lost she felt, and more alone, + Leaning against that hard, cold stone, + Than when his ship was outward bound, + Or when she thought of him as drowned. + + They turned, and sauntered towards the cove; + Oh, woman's strength! oh, woman's love! + She stirred not till their eyes had met, + And knew herself remembered yet. + + Down wastes of absence, grief, and gloom-- + Warmed by his gaze--uprose the bloom + Of Hope's lost violets through the snow, + A purple path to long ago! + + She saw the creole's large, dark eyes + Glance up to his in mute surprise; + She saw him leave the girl and stand + Before her with an outstretched hand. + + Then turned and fled--no matter where, + So those she fled from were not there-- + Seaward away, across the strand, + Where hungry waves crept up the sand. + + On Memory's scroll there came a blot, + A space of time remembered not; + When sense awoke, clouds late aglow + With sunset fire, looked drifts of snow. + + For, like a disembodied soul + By angels clad in silvery stole + And shining sandals for its flight + Along the upward paths of light, + + The moon had risen there, and turned + Volcanic cloud-peaks while they burned, + White as the frozen coronet + On Jura's misty forehead set. + + And where, from out her casket fine, + Eve had dropped rubies on the brine, + In gleaming lengths of shimmering sheen + Long lines of moonlight paved the green. + + Yet not to star, or sea, or skies + She gazed, but into deep, dear eyes + Bending upon her with the glow, + The old, sweet love of long ago. + + Subtly it thrilled through every vein, + Making her white cheek flush again; + As pale hydrangeas blushing shine, + Whose roots are steeped in purple wine. + + She felt love's subtle, potent charm + Binding her on that strong right arm; + 'T was softer than the cold gray stone, + 'T was sweeter thus than all alone. + + One moment struggling to be free, + She cried: "Release me, Graham Lee; + For there is more to part us now + Than distance, death, or broken vow." + + "Daisy"--his voice was deep and clear-- + "Stay; would I dare to hold you here + So near my heart, if unto you + That heart had ever been untrue? + + "Perchance, had I not found you soon, + As yon gray cloud beside the moon + Is silver-lined,--that wore a crown + Of glory when the sun went down, + + "My future might have worn at last + A light, which, likened to the past, + Would be as yonder placid moon + Unto the sumptuous suns of June. + + "You thought me dead--I thought you lost; + Our hearts have both been tempest tossed, + And never anchored since that hour + When each defied the other's power. + + "The stately creole by my side + Is my young sister--not my bride; + Earth holds one mate alone for me, + One bride--say, Daisy, shall it be?" + + No blot on the horizon's verge, + No black smoke hid the star, no surge + Came up to fret the silent sea, + No answer came to Graham Lee. + + What need of words?

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/27677.zip b/27677.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9aee846 --- /dev/null +++ b/27677.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
