+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+THOSE who took part in that strange camping out of the School in 1876 and
+1877 will be glad to be reminded of their experiences now they are over.
+And perhaps the School at Uppingham, in years to come, may like to have
+some hint, however imperfect, of that medley of ruin and safety, fear and
+fun, which passed from risk and danger, which seemed almost impossible to
+be faced, to a happy ending.
+
+THE SCHOOL-HOUSE,
+ UPPINGHAM,
+ _August_, 1880.
+
+
+
+
+Dedication.
+
+
+ TO
+ MR. T. H. BIRLEY AND MR. W. T. JACOB,
+ THE TWO SCHOOL TRUSTEES WITHOUT WHOSE HELP THE SCHOOL WOULD HAVE BEEN
+ LOST;
+
+ TO
+ SIR PRYSE PRYSE, BART.,
+ AND THE KINDLY WELSH PEOPLE, WHO MADE SAFETY POSSIBLE AND SUCCESSFUL;
+
+ TO
+ THE PARENTS,
+WHO TRUSTED THE SCHOOL, AND SENT IN FULL NUMBERS ON THE EVENTFUL NIGHT OF
+ APRIL 4, 1876;
+
+ TO
+ ALL FAITHFUL COLLEAGUES,
+ WHO DID TRUE WORK THROUGH THOSE DANGEROUS AND ANXIOUS MONTHS,
+
+ THIS MEMORIAL OF A COMMON CAUSE IS DEDICATED BY
+
+ THE AUTHOR.

+I.
+THE PROLOGUE.
+
+
+ O SWALLOW, with resistless wing, that hold’st the air in fee,
+ O swallow, with thy joyous sweep o’er earth and sunlit sea,
+ O swallow, who, if night were thine, would’st wheel amongst the stars,
+ Why linger round the eaves?
+ Unhappy! free of all the world hast knit thy soul to clay?
+ And glued thy heart up on the wall, thou swiftest child of day?
+ Claim, glorious wing, thy heritage; break, break thy prison bars,
+ Nor linger round the eaves.
+
+ Sweep, glorious wings, adown the wind; fly, swallow, to the west;
+ Before thee, life and liberty; behind, a ruined nest.
+ Blow, freshening breeze, sweep, rapid wing, for all the winds are
+ thine,
+ The nest is only clay.
+ The rapid wings were stretched in flight, the swallow sped away,
+ And left its nest beneath the eaves, the much-loved bit of clay,
+ Turned with the sun, to go where’er the happy sun might shine,
+ And passed into the day.
+

+
+II.
+THE SUMMONS.
+
+
+ A THOUSAND year is nought to prayer,
+ One day, so GOD it will:
+ So the chapel fair, in GOD’S clear air,
+ Looks calmly from its hill;
+
+ And true and bold the schoolhouse old
+ Before it sentinel,
+ With close at hand a trusty band
+ Of comrades guards it well.
+
+ Each morn they meet, the young, young feet,
+ They lightly come and go,
+ A changeful stream, that still doth seem
+ The same, and still doth flow.
+
+ The stream shall run while shines the sun,
+ And still the buttressed stone
+ Shall hear the beat of young, young feet,
+ And count them all its own.
+
+ The fair sun shone, but ghastly and wan
+ There came a spectral dream;
+ The stone stood fast, but a dim fear passed
+ Through buttress, and roof, and beam:
+
+ With sad, sad heart life did depart,
+ A ghostly silence fell;
+ With sad, sad heart they turned to depart,
+ And—farewell, home, farewell.
+

+
+III.
+THOUGHTS.
+
+
+ DARKEST clouds drop tender rain,
+ Every leaf and blade is fain
+ Its own jewel to obtain
+ From the casket of its pain.
+
+ And the thunder, black as night,
+ Down descends in orbs of white,
+ For the sun to fill with light,
+ Tiny chambers of his might.
+
+ Precious beads of hope are pearled
+ On each sorrow through the world,
+ Softest dews of peace in showers
+ Lie beneath the clouded hours.
+
+
+
+
+IV.
+THE JOURNEY.
+
+
+ THE ice froze cold, as cold as death,
+ Yet runs the stream below;
+ The very spring breathes bitter breath,
+ But still the flowerets blow.
+ Nor shall it perish from the land,
+ The living seed they bore,
+ As forth they fared, that pilgrim band,
+ As pilgrims went of yore.
+
+ Lead, river, down the mountain glen,
+ Glide ’mid the sunny slopes;
+ Now lose thyself, now come again,
+ E’en like a pilgrim’s hopes.
+ And careless rivulets with their peace
+ Smiled on the passers-by,
+ From many a valley, where the trees
+ See but their own dear sky.
+
+ So swept they on a great bright plain,
+ A charmèd breadth out-laid,
+ Where mountains rounded to the main
+ A charmèd circle made;
+ And northward couched a huge hill dream,
+ Which ofttimes, as it lay.
+ To heave and pant in sleep did seem,
+ Beneath the sultry day.
+
+ And leaning up against the hill,
+ Whose headland, purple-black,
+ The southern waters, as they fill,
+ Kiss daily, and fall back,
+ A simple hamlet, nowise planned,
+ Puts out a long arm white,
+ Where level sea and level sand
+ Scarce know each other’s right.
+
+ The mountains rule the east, but all
+ The west, the sea, the sea;
+ Save when the sun at evenfall
+ Disputes her sovereignty.
+ A kindly people held the land,
+ A kindly race and free;
+ So rest they found, that pilgrim band,
+ At Borth beside the sea.
+
+ [Picture: Borth from the South]

+
+V.
+THE SEA.—SAFETY.
+
+
+ BRIGHT sea, in thy waters rolled
+ Dost eternity enfold,
+ Endless being, uncontrolled,
+ Freedom, more than heart can hold,
+ Every wave a hope divine,
+ Sun-charms, golden line on line,
+ Thou great moving mystery-shrine!
+ Thine the first sounds that the earth
+ Heard, its cradle-song at birth.
+ Hidden voices in thy deep
+ Half untold their secret keep,
+ As they murmur evermore
+ Old-world tidings to the shore.
+ Glorious sea, thy moving light
+ Spreads round earth a mantle bright,
+ Wide as range of eye or mind,
+ Tameless playmate of the wind.
+ Like a shuttle glancing free
+ In and out, thy life, O sea,
+ Whatsoe’er thy mood hath been,
+ Weaves a web of magic sheen.
+ Gracious wandering life, the air
+ Sports around thee for its share;
+ Winds that move, and winds that rest,
+ Heaving softly on thy breast,
+ Like a sea-bird from the crest,
+ Rise from off thy waves, and fly,
+ Sweeping fresh the summer sky.
+ Glorious sea, glad, unconfined,
+ Free as range of eye or mind,
+ Tameless playmate of the wind,
+ Gracious power, whate’er thou be,
+ Lay thy sweetest liberty
+ At the pilgrims’ feet, O sea.
+
+
+
+
+VI.
+THE COLONY.
+
+
+ EAST and west, and north and south,
+ As if we were shot from a cannon’s mouth,
+ Hurrah, hurrah! here we all are.
+ Never was heard in peace or war,
+ The first in the world are we,
+ Never, oh, never, was heard before,
+ Since a ball was a ball,
+ And a wall a wall,
+ And a boy to play was free,
+ That a school as old as an old oak-tree,
+ Fast by the roots, was flung up in the air,
+ Up in the air without thought or care,
+ And pitched on its feet by the sea, the sea,
+ Pitched on its feet by the sea.
+
+ Ere the old school walls were dumb
+ With the silence of despair,
+ “March boys, march! the end has come!”
+ Rang the watchword proud and clear.
+ We our standard rallied round,
+ Thrice a hundred faithful found.
+
+ Playgrounds—leagues on leagues of shore;
+ Class-rooms—all the sea-king’s caves;
+ We are touched by Ariel’s power,
+ Free of air, and earth, and waves.
+ We are elves of Ariel’s range,
+ Nought but suffers a sea change.
+
+ Ah! the wand has laid its spell
+ Over cricket-fields and trees;
+ Presto!—woods, and mountains, shells,
+ Rocks, and sea-anemones;
+ Thrice turn round and shut your eyes,
+ Open to a fresh surprise.
+
+ Open on the level sward
+ Slid Gogerddan’s {16a} hills between,
+ When Gogerddan’s genial lord
+ Looked upon the starry green,
+ Lady-bright with summer stars,
+ Heard the schoolboys’ loud hurrahs.
+
+ Lo! the panting cricket train
+ Up the valley slowly creeps,
+ Lo! a boyish hurricane
+ E’en o’er Cader Idris sweeps.
+ Never in the good greenwood
+ Lived more gaily Robin Hood.
+
+ Little bits of fairy world,
+ Fairy streamlets, dropping rills,
+ And the Lery {16b} softly curled
+ In amongst the dreaming hills:
+ Never in the good greenwood
+ Lived more gaily Robin Hood.
+
+ East and west, and north and south,
+ As if we were shot from a cannon’s mouth,
+ Hurrah, hurrah! here we all are.
+ Never was heard in peace or war,
+ The first in the world are we,
+ Never, oh, never, was heard before,
+ Since a ball was a ball,
+ And a wall a wall,
+ And a boy to play was free,
+ That a school as old as an old oak-tree,
+ Fast by the roots, was flung up in the air,
+ Up in the air without thought or care,
+ And pitched on its feet by the sea, the sea,
+ Pitched on its feet by the sea.
+
+
+
+
+VII.
+RIPPLES.
+
+
+ JOLLY, O, jolly, at eve,
+ When the golden waves
+ Are tumbling into the sun,
+ And the silent air
+ Is thinking of nothing, to run
+ Down to the shore,
+ Boys by the score,
+ Into the hollow way
+ Curved by the ebbing spray,
+ Chasing him back to his watery den,
+ Lightly, O, lightly he leaps out again.
+ Backward, O, backward we run
+ (Thinking-of-nothing-o fun),
+ Jolly wet every one.
+ Rare, O, rare,
+ Nought can compare
+ When the silent air
+ Is thinking of nothing, to run,
+ In thinking-of-nothing-o fun,
+ Out on the ebbing wave,
+ Chasing him back to his watery lair,
+ Jolly wet every one,
+ Thinking-of-nothing-o fun.
+
+ Jolly, O, jolly, at eve,
+ When the golden waves
+ Are tumbling into the sun,
+ And the silent air
+ Is thinking of nothing, to go,
+ All in a row,
+ A hundred or so,
+ Manfully take a stand,
+ Just on the edge of the land,
+ Just where the pebbles and inrushing sea
+ Battle, and rattle, and never agree,
+ Solemnly, solemnly, O!
+ Each his own pebble to throw,
+ With a heigho! jolly heigho!
+ Rare, O, rare,
+ Nought can compare
+ When the silent air
+ Is thinking of nothing, to go,
+ With a heigho! jolly heigho!
+ Solemnly, solemnly, throw
+ Pebbles and pebbles at our jolly foe,
+ Hundreds of heads in a row,
+ Thinking of nothing, heigho!
+
+
+
+
+VIII.
+THE LERY.
+
+
+ O HAPPY days, O happy days,
+ Ye pass, but do not die,
+ Bright visitants, like summer rain
+ Dropped softly from the sky;
+ Which rests awhile on earth,
+ And sinks unseen, and reappears again
+ In wondrous birth on birth,
+ New born in herb and flower, in bud and tree,
+ And fountain waters flowing clear and free.
+
+ O happy days, thy glow is on
+ Green slope and heathery hill,
+ Reflection bright of happy eyes,
+ Which there have looked their fill.
+ Ye choose ye valleys sweet,
+ Where o’er the water-song the dim woods rise,
+ Your votaries to meet,
+ And sweetest far your home where Lery bright
+ Plays in your smile with pebbles and the light.
+
+ We find you where we left you last,
+ When that glad summer noon
+ We turned to go, half gay, half sad,
+ An end had come so soon;
+ Just where the wider sweep,
+ With oak, and fern, and purple heather clad,
+ Curves from the shoulder steep,
+ Whereon ye watch the streamlet down the glade
+ Send its white thoughts through narrowing glooms of shade.
+
+ [Picture: The Lery above Tal-y-Bont]
+
+ Look, now th’ imprisoned light is spread
+ On a clear bed of rock;
+ And the next moment tossed about,
+ A fairy shuttlecock;
+ Then in a still pool deep,
+ Heart laid to heart in chambers hollowed out,
+ The quiet wood doth sleep.
+ So wooing still and wooed, demure or gay,
+ The Lery down the vale a soul of joy doth stray.
+
+ Thy train, dear happy days, are here,
+ Each leaflet in its place,
+ They tell me round yon jutting rock
+ That I shall see your face.
+ Lo! all are paddling there,
+ For happy time recks not of mortal clock,
+ The children of last year.
+ Our fishers throw, while on the pebbly ridge
+ Tea boils, and rash feet shake the miner’s bridge.
+
+ Each tendril the old welcome gives,
+ Each leaflet in its place,
+ The very ants are marching still
+ Along the selfsame trace;
+ The hours themselves forget
+ To drop another shadow on the rill,
+ So there it lingers yet,
+ And year by year we wake up with a kiss
+ The sleeping princess of our summer bliss.
+
+
+
+
+IX.
+THE SANDS.
+
+
+ EACH shall have his own love,
+ High be linked to high,
+ Sky be kissing mountain,
+ Mountain kissing sky.
+
+ Dozing in the orchard
+ Let the goodman sit,
+ Count on summer evenings
+ Apples he will eat.
+
+ Glory to the sands O!
+ Glory give who can,
+ Where a man, who stands O!
+ Feels himself a man.
+
+ Where the east wind gallops,
+ Keen with keen-edged knife,
+ And the wide world freshens,
+ Salted with sea-life.
+
+ Where the great free waters
+ Have their freedom rolled,
+ And the golden sunbeams
+ Powdered them with gold.
+
+ Blow, ye winds, your trumpets,
+ Blow, ye winds, your fife,
+ Glory to the sands O!
+ Salted with sea-life.
+
+ With the sea-bird shrieking
+ To the sea below,
+ Clang thy wild clang, sea-bird,
+ Sea, thy organ blow.
+
+ [Picture: The beach by Moel Ynys]
+
+ When the summer whispers
+ Float in o’er the sea,
+ Then a moving rainbow
+ Spreads itself o’er thee.
+
+ Rainbow light and silver,
+ Silver sheen and gold,
+ All the light of childhood,
+ Happy childhood bold.
+
+ There it gleams and glistens
+ Moving as we go,
+ Light of sun or childhood,
+ Who is skilled to know?
+
+ Liberty and joyance
+ Still ye give each one,
+ Manhood with the east wind,
+ Childhood with the sun.
+
+ Blow, ye winds, your trumpets,
+ Blow, ye winds, your fife,
+ Glory to the sands O!
+ Salted with sea-life.
+
+ With the sea-bird shrieking
+ To the sea below;
+ Clang thy wild clang, sea-bird,
+ Sea, thy organ blow.
+
+
+
+
+X.
+THE MARSH CIRCLE.
+
+
+ CHIMES there are on earth, harmonious splendours,
+ Subtle symphonies of ear and eye,
+ Yea, dim bridals, when the mortal spirit
+ Weds a half-veiled immortality.
+
+ Moments, as when some dumb, wistful creature
+ Gazes in its master’s eyes, to find
+ Deeps on deeps, and wins a higher nature
+ By mysterious touch of higher mind.
+
+ Whoso sees the deep eyes turned upon him,
+ Nature’s dreamlike radiance, on the height
+ Breathless-happy stands, and draws by seeing
+ Blissful inspiration, clearer sight.
+
+ Go where from his rampart Taliesin {23}
+ O’er the beaten gold of the great plain
+ Throws his charm on river, sea, and mountain,
+ Blending all in one bright living strain.
+
+ Now a sunny silence makes heart-music,
+ As it comes up smiling o’er the sea;
+ All the hill-sides dimple; on it passes,
+ In and out the enchanted shadows flee.
+
+ Now within the coronet of mountains
+ And the sea-fringed margin of the west
+ Nature’s thoughts are stirring, gusts of passion
+ Ruffle the embroidery on her breast.
+
+ Far away a trouble on the waters
+ ’Gins to whiten, then a living veil
+ Drops down from the sky, black gleam the headlands,
+ Gleam the hills through drifts of shadowy trail.
+
+ And the weird wild freedom of the marshland
+ Stretches, breadths on breadths of level gold,
+ Where the storm-scuds wander, and the rainbow
+ In the midst lets fall its glittering hold.
+
+ Broad, bright plain, free wanderland of fancy,
+ Robed in colours, all the sun can weave
+ Out of silver seas, and hill-sides glooming,
+ Molten in the ruddy fires of eve,
+
+ Cloth of gold from sands, and silken tissue
+ Spun from the blue distance, threads of white
+ Shot through by the rivers, crimson buddings
+ Of the oak groves flushed with spring delight.
+
+ He on whom the deep eyes once have turned their
+ Hidden splendours, be he where he will,
+ Evermore a prophet’s dream enfolding,
+ Walks with yearnings which he ne’er can fill.
+
+ [Picture: The marsh behind Borth]

+XI.
+SHELLS.
+
+
+ FAIRIES all, whoever ran
+ Pell-mell from smoke-witted man,
+ Scared from haunted well and tree
+ Fairy mermaidens to be,
+ Colonists of fairy sea;
+ Empire found, and perils o’er,
+ Soon ye peeped out on the shore,
+ Frolic-bold as heretofore;
+ Village green and woodland spells
+ Lightly changed for shells O, shells!
+ Your sea besoms twice a day
+ Swish, and swirl, and hissing spray,
+ Brush all mortal taint away.
+ Twice a day the saucy waves,
+ Heads bent low, your merry slaves,
+ Tumble in of shells a store
+ From the sea-king’s palace floor.
+ On a day remembered well,
+ Never butterfly befell
+ Brighter bursting from his cell,
+ Picked we the first fairy shell.
+ Time his hinge had backward swung,
+ Youth and Age together sprung
+ In a world where all was young.
+ Age was young and Youth as old,
+ Age and Youth, two children bold,
+ Caught old Time with potent spells,
+ Magic words of shells O, shells!
+ Shells—the very air did seem
+ Opening into some bright dream,
+ And an unseen gladness swept
+ All around us as we stept.
+ Miles of hope before us lay,
+ Golden, glistening sheets of day,
+ With a sea-charm washed alway,
+ Fairy-sprinkled! who could tell?
+ Every yard might give its shell;
+ Little Cockles’ pearly sheen,
+ Chariot fit for fairy queen,
+ Pectens, dipped in colours won
+ From the rays slipped off the sun
+ In the waves, when day is done.
+ Here a ripple in and out
+ Mocking whirls the Cones about,
+ Brings them to our fingers, then
+ Laughs, and swings them off again.
+ There a dark line softly lies
+ Rich in promise ’neath the skies;
+ Happy he foredoomed to burst
+ On that fairy treasure first,
+ Ere assailed by foot accurst,
+ Or the jealous, tricksy sea
+ Rushing catch him to the knee,
+ And with slow malicious glee
+ Gently suck it back; ah me!
+ Shells O, shells! the slanted hail,
+ Thunder-driven, blind, and pale,
+ Beat on rovers bent, subdued,
+ Each apart in solitude,
+ Nursing his own woeful mood.
+ Lo! a shell bank—at the cry
+ Sunshine flashed along the sky,
+ Reckless-bright each sunny eye
+ Glistened, on the spoil they fly,
+ Cockles, Mactras, Artemis,
+ Pectens, unknown shapes of bliss,
+ Turritella, Tellens frail,
+ Orphans, delicate and pale,
+ Newly risen from the sea
+ Peerless Venus Chione.
+ Such a ring was never seen
+ Glancing coy on minstrel’s een
+ In the sweetest, shyest gloom
+ Of the young world’s maiden bloom,
+ Ere the tender dew had died
+ Hopeless, on the mountain-side,
+ And away the fairies hied.
+ Where the fairies hied would’st know?
+ To the printless margin go,
+ Where sea besoms twice a day
+ Swish, and swirl, and hissing spray,
+ Purge all mortal taint away,
+ There the fairy children play.
+
+
+
+
+XII.
+SUNDAY.—THE HILL-TOP.
+
+
+ HOW softly leading upward, the green slope
+ Leans ’gainst the southern sky,
+ And restful feet have reached the top before
+ They know they are so high.
+
+ E’en so, up from the levels of the week,
+ In its own quiet air,
+ Enthroned within a more ethereal blue,
+ The Sunday rises fair.
+
+ And ofttimes, as GOD’S peace from church and field
+ Upon their spirit lay,
+ A happy group down set made all their own
+ That gracious place and day.
+
+ Far down the shadowy tracts of gleaming sand
+ Seemed melting from the eye,
+ And all the busy week, a few dark specks,
+ Which sight could scarce descry.
+
+ The small waves chattered all along the shore;
+ But with low pleading sweet
+ The billows crept up to the tall black rocks,
+ And clasped their giant feet.
+
+ And there in talk, or silence dearer still,
+ They let their hearts go free,
+ In that sweet confidence, which nothing asks
+ But being still to be.
+
+ The sea discourses to them, or they launch
+ On summer clouds, that throw
+ A purple mantle wrought in peaceful skies
+ On dreaming waves below.
+
+ And gathering up the light of the great plain,
+ A web of colours rare,
+ They blend them, as they look, with fancies meet,
+ And peace of upper air,
+
+ Till where the river ’twixt the distant hills
+ Leads up into the skies,
+ In that fair borderland of earth and heaven
+ The changeful glory lies.
+
+ Whoso within that dreamy circle sits,
+ For him abideth still
+ The calm of upper air, the magic light
+ That hill sends on to hill.

+THE RETURN.
+
+
+ SALT, and sand, and rocking wave,
+ Salt, and sand, and sky,
+ All ye had to give ye gave,
+ But—good bye, good bye.
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the ivy that clings to the wall;
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the oak, and the ash-tree tall.
+
+ Rocking wave, and mountain bold,
+ Bright air, free to roam,
+ Say not that our hearts are cold;
+ Oh! but—home is home.
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the ivy that clings to the wall;
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the oak, and the ash-tree tall.
+
+ Smoothest turf, a sunshine floor,
+ Dance of cricket ball,
+ Studies, where we shut the door
+ On our cosy all.
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the ivy that clings to the wall;
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the oak, and the ash-tree tall.
+
+ Grey old school-house, consecrate
+ On thy hill afar,
+ Chapel, keeping solemn state—
+ Home we go, hurrah!
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the ivy that clings to the wall;
+ Hey, the robin, the lark, and the green green grass,
+ And the oak, and the ash-tree tall.

+XIV.
+THE FLAGS.
+
+
+ TO him, who wounded turned aside,
+ It mattered little that he died
+ In sunshine, in the fair springtide.
+
+ On many a grave the flowers are gay,
+ Oft ruin creeping on his prey
+ Puts forth a velvet paw in play.
+
+ O Flags, ye wrap within your fold
+ A stranger tale than e’er was told
+ Of Muses’ sons in days of old.
+
+ The homeless school, of fortune braved,
+ Will aye remember how ye waved
+ Above them, in the hour that saved.
+
+ As long as youth breathes living fire,
+ As long as scorn is on the liar,
+ And men can mount from high to higher.
+
+ Rest in the school-room, rest, and be
+ A spirit moving calm and free,
+ A silent flame of liberty.
+
+ Say, peace more stern than war demands
+ Devotion purer, cleaner hands,
+ Life larger, foot that firmer stands.
+
+ Bid Hope his thrilling clarion blow,
+ And fearless truth in boyhood glow,
+ And honour send him on his foe.
+
+ So life shall foster life, each son
+ Still better what his sire hath done,
+ And truth from truth full circle run.

+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
+agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
+Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
+of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
+works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
+States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
+United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
+claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
+displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
+all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
+that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
+free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
+works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
+Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
+comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
+same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
+you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
+in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
+check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
+agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
+distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
+other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
+representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
+country outside the United States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
+immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
+prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
+on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
+performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
+
+ This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
+ most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
+ restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
+ under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
+ eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
+ United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
+ are located before using this ebook.
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
+derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
+contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
+copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
+the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
+redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
+either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
+obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
+trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
+additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
+will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
+posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
+beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
+version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
+(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
+to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means

+Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
+full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+provided that
+
+* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
+ to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
+ agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
+ within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
+ legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
+ payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
+ Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
+ Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
+ copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
+ all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
+ works.
+
+* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
+ any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
+ receipt of the work.
+
+* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
+are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
+from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
+Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
+Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
+contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
+or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
+other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
+cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
+with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
+with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
+lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
+or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
+opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
+the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
+without further opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
+OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
+damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
+violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
+agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
+limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
+unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
+remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
+accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
+production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
+including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
+the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
+or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
+Defect you cause.
+
+Section 2. 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 are 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 information page at
+www.gutenberg.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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
+mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
+volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
+locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
+Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to
+date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and
+official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
+
+For additional contact information:
+
+ Dr. Gregory B. 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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.

+&nbsp;&nbsp; Subtle symphonies of ear and eye,<br />
+Yea, dim bridals, when the mortal spirit<br />

+<p class="poetry">Moments, as when some dumb, wistful creature<br

+Section 2. 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 are 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 information page at
+www.gutenberg.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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
+mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
+volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous

+Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

+
+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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.
