father's farm was on Dick's River, where the cliffs rose to hundreds of
feet, with great ledges of rocks, where under which I used to sit. There
were many large rocks scattered around, some as much as fifteen feet
across, with holes that held water, where my father salted his stock,
and I, a little toddler, used to follow him. On the side of the house
next to the cliffs was what we called the "Long House," where the negro
women would spin and weave. There were wheels, little and big, and a
loom or two, and swifts and reels, and winders, and everything for
making linen for the summer, and woolen cloth for the winter, both
linsey and jeans. The flax was raised on the place, and so were the
sheep. When a child 5 years old, I used to bother the other spinners. I
was so anxious to learn to spin. My father had a small wheel made for me
by a wright in the neighborhood. I was very jealous of my wheel, and
would spin on it for hours. The colored women were always indulgent to
me, and made the proper sized rolls, so I could spin them. I would
double the yarn, and then twist it, and knit it into suspenders, which
was a great source of pride to my father, who would display my work to
visitors on every occasion. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers
have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will
to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing,
questionable questions! It is already a long story; yet it seems
as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at last
grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That
this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is
it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT really is this
"Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the
question as to the origin of this Will--until at last we came to
an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We
inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the
truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance?
The
problem of the value of truth presented itself before us--or
was it we who presented ourselves before the problem? Which of us
is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a
rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation. And could it
be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had
never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern
it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in
raising it, perhaps there is no greater risk. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

damp, glacial, and edged with the penetrating keenness

Deodat Lawson's Narrative | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | Rev. Deodat Lawson had served as minister at Salem Village from 1684
to 1688. Upon hearing about the witchcraft outbreak in the village and
that several members of his family may have previously died there under
"the malicious operations of the infernal powers," Lawson decided to
visit his former abode to learn what was happening. Lawson's
observations during the latter part of March and the first of April were
subsequently written into a 10-page pamphlet titled A Brief and True
Narrative and printed by Benjamin Harris of Boston. These short
though tantalizing descriptions give a broader perspective than many of

Rev. Lawson Visits the Thomas Putnam House | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | On Wednesday the 23 of March, I went to Thomas Putmans, on purpose to
see his Wife: I found her lying on the Bed, having had a sore fit a
little before, she spake to me, and said, she was glad to see me; her
Husband and she, both desired me to pray with her, while she was
sensible; which I did, though the Apparition said, I should not go to
Prayer. At the first beginning she attended; but after a little time,
was taken with a fit: yet continued silent, and seemed to be Asleep:
when Prayer was done, her Husband going to her, found her in a Fit; he
took her off the Bed, to set her on his Knees; but at first she was so
stiff, she could not be bended; but she afterwards set down; but quickly
began to strive violently with her Arms and Leggs; she then began to
Complain of, and as it were to Converse personally with, Goodw.
N.[urse], saying, "Goodw. N. Be gone! Be gone! Be gone! are you not
ashamed, a Woman of your Profession, to afflict a poor Creature so? what
hurt did I ever do you in my life! you have but two years to live, and
then the Devil will torment your Soul, for this your Name is blotted out
of Gods Book, and it shall never be put in Gods Book again, be gone for
shame, are you not afraid of that which is coming upon you? I Know, I
know, what will make you afraid; the wrath of an Angry God, I am sure
that will make you afraid; be gone, do not tourment me, I know what you
would have (we judged she meant, her Soul) but it is out of your reach;
it is Clothed with the white Robes of Christs Righteousness." After
this, she seemed to dispute with the Apparition about a particular Text
of Scripture. The Apparition seemed to deny it; (the Womans eyes being
fast closed all this time) she said, She was sure there was such a Text;
and she would tell it; and then the Shape would be gone, for said she,
"I am sure you cannot stand before that Text!" then she was sorely
Afflicted; her mouth drawn on one side, and her body strained for about
a minute, and then said, "I will tell, I will tell; it is, it is, it
is!" three or four times, and then was afflicted to hinder her from
telling, at last she broke forth and said, "It is the third Chapter of
the Revelations." I did something scruple the reading it, and did let my
scruple appear, lest Satan should make any, Superstitious he to improve
the Word of the Eternal God. However, tho' not versed in these things, I
judged I might do it this once for an Experiment. I began to read, and
before I had near read through the first verse, she opened her eyes, and
was well; this fit continued near half an hour. Her Husband and the
Spectators told me, she had often been so relieved by reading Texts that
she named, something pertinent to her Case; as Isa. 40. 1. Isa. 49.1.
Isa. 50.1 and several others. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Rev. Lawson's Narrative of the Examinations of Rebecca Nurse & Dorcas Good | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | On Thursday the Twenty fourth of march, (being in course the Lecture
Day, at the Village,) Goodwife N. [urse] was brought before the
Magistrates Mr. Hathorne and Mr. Corwin, about Ten of Clock, in the
Fore Noon, to be Examined in the Meeting House, the Reverend Mr. Hale,
begun with Prayer, and the Warrant being read, she was required to give
answer, Why she aflicted those persons? she pleaded her owne innocency
with earnestness.Thomas Putmans Wife, Abigail Williams and Thomas
Putmans daughter accused her that she appeared to them, and afflicted
them in their fitts: but some of the other said, that they had seen her,
but knew not that ever she had hurt them; amongst which was Mary Walcut,
who was presently after she had so declared bitten, and cryed out of her
in the meeting-house; producing the Marks of teeth on her wrist. It was
so disposed, that I had not leisure to attend the whole time of
Examination, but both Magistrates and Ministers, told me, that the
things alledged, by the afflicted, and defences made by her, were much
after the same manner, as the former was. And her motions, did produce
like effects as to, Biteing, Pinching, Bruising, Tormenting, at their
Breasts, by her Leaning, and when, bended Back, were as if their Backs
was broken. The afflicted persons said, the Black Man, whispered to her
in the Assembly, and therefore she could not hear what the Magistrates
said unto her. They said also that she did then ride by the
Meeting-house, behind the Black Man. Thomas Putman's wife had a grievous
Fit, in the time of Examination, to the very great Impairing of her
strength, and wasting of her spirits, insomuch as she could hardly move
hand, or foot, when she was carryed out. Others also were there
grievously afflicted, so that there was once such an hideous scrietch
and noise, (which I heard as I walked, at a little distance from the
Meeting house,) as did amaze me, and some that were within, told me the
whole assembly was struck with consternation, and they were afraid, that
those that sate next to them, were under the influence of Witchcraft.
This woman also was that day committed to Salem Prison. The Magistrates
and Ministers also did informe me, that they apprehended a child of
Sarah G. [ood] and Examined it, being between 4 and 5 years of Age And
as to matter of Fact, they did Unanimously affirm, that when this Child,
did but cast its eye upon the afflicted persons, they were tormented,
and they held her Head, and yet so many as her eye could fix upon were
afflicted. Which they did several times make careful observation of the
afflicted complained, they had often been Bitten by this child, and
produced the marks of a small set of teeth, accordingly, this was also
committed to Salem Prison, the child looked hail, and well as other
Children. I saw it at Lieut. Ingersols. After the commitment of Goodw.
N. Tho: Putmans wife was much better, and had no violent fits at all
from that 24th of March, to the 5th of April. Some others also said
they had not seen her so frequently appear to them, to hurt them. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
