 Title:  Pushkin and His Work  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IT may be a long time yet before Russian poetry is anything more than a word to the great bulk of the English-reading public, and the name of Kalidâsa or Firdûsi would convey to the average mind a far more definite impression than the name of Maïkof, Polonsky or Nekràssof—because every one who is at all on familiar terms with books has met at least the names of the Hindoo and the Persian poet, while it is absolutely certain that not one in a thousand habitual readers, or even students of literature, ever comes across those of the Russians. Yet one name there is, which has pierced through the barrier raised by race difference and an exceedingly difficult language, and is at least as familiar to English and American ears as those of the two Orientals: the name of Pushkin, the centennial anniversary of whose birth was celebrated last year all over Russia.

 Title:  Edith Wharton  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: MADAME de Treymes' way of expressing her predilection for Durham was to say that he was extremely clever; and casting about to find terms of appreciation for the distinguished persons the reader discovers in Mrs. Wharton's pages, one can probably find none more fit than the dictum that whatever else they may be they are extremely clever. Unqualified, such a remark is slight enough. The characters of any novelist who tends to psychology are likely to be clever, for considerable cleverness in the subject is necessary to psychological interest and some cleverness necessary to any interest. And cleverness must be an elastic term to cover such diverse qualities as the clairvoyance of Mrs. Ansell, or the fastidiousness of Justine Brent, or the polished and brittle worldliness of Mr. Langhope. Again, not all of these persons are extremely clever: Gerty Farish was not clever at all, and Undine Spragg was only clever enough to be extremely fashionable; though here it should be remembered that Gerty Farish was rather patronized by the narrator of her history, and Undine Spragg flayed with satire. Moreover, one cannot take the measure of an author's qualities, say the last word about his work, in a word; even if it were possible, cleverness would probably not be the only discoverable last word about the qualities of Mrs. Wharton. But it is at least an allusion, and as a first word cannot be unserviceable.

 Title:  Visions—A Phantasy  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: FOR a long time I tried in vain to sleep and kept tossing from side to side. "The devil take all this nonsense of tipping tables," I said to myself, "it certainly shakes the nerves." At length, however, drowsiness began to get the upper hand.
