| 101 | Author: | Freeman, Mary Eleanor Wilkins, 1852-1930 | Requires cookie* | | Title: | Humble Pie ![](https://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/icons/default/i_tei.gif) | | | Published: | 1996 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | THERE are some people who never during their whole lives awake to a
consciousness of themselves, as they are recognized by others; there are
some who awake too early, to their undoing, and the flimsiness of their
characters; there are some who awake late with a shock, which does not
dethrone them from their individuality, but causes them agony, and is
possibly for their benefit. Maria Gorham was one of the last, and for the
first time in her life she saw herself reflected mercilessly in the eyes of
her kind one summer in a great mountain hotel. She had never been
aware that she was more conceited than others, that she had had on the
whole a better opinion of her external advantages at least, than she
deserved, but she discovered that her self-conceit had been something
which looked to her monstrous and insufferable. She saw that she was
not on the surface what she had always thought herself to be, and she saw
that the surface has always its influence on the depths. | | Similar Items: | Find |

modern Queen Anne residence of Mrs. Joseph Glynn. Mrs. Glynn had a
daughter, Ethel, and an un-married sister, Miss Julia Esterbrook. All
three were fond of talking, and had many callers who liked to hear the
feebly effervescent news of Well-wood. This afternoon three ladies
were there: Miss Abby Simson, Mrs. John Bates, and Mrs. Edward Lee.
They sat in the Glynn sitting-room, which shrilled with treble voices as
if a flock of sparrows had settled therein. | | Similar Items: | Find |

It is true, the strength of
Spain is shattered, her ships are sunk or fled, the sea has swallowed her
soldiers and her sailors by hundreds and by thousands, and England breathes
again. They came to conquer, to bring us to the torture and the stake--to do to
us free Englishmen as Cortes did by the Indians of Anahuac. Our manhood to the
slave bench, our daughters to dishonour, our souls to the loving-kindness of the
priest, our wealth to the Emperor and the Pope! God has answered them with his
winds, Drake has answered them with his guns. They are gone, and with them the
glory of Spain. | | Similar Items: | Find |

prairie; it lay, a thin veil on the scrawny black horses and the sharp-boned cow
picketed near a covered wagon; it showered to the ground in little clouds as Mrs.
Wade, a tall, spare woman, moved about a camp-fire, preparing supper in a sizzling
skillet, huge iron kettle and blackened coffee-pot. | | Similar Items: | Find |

of our
revered and beloved Alma Mater in ruins. The historic monuments of three-quarters of
a
century have been obliterated by the fury of the flames in a few hours, and nothing is
left of
our great Rotunda, our Public Hall, our Old Chapel, and our Academic Halls and
Lecture-Rooms,
hallowed by so many recollections precious to us all, except blackened walls. In this
unspeakable
calamity all that remains to us except brave hearts and unbroken spirits is the memory of
the gallant
and heroic conduct of the entire student body, without which nothing could have been
saved from
the Library and the Scientific halls in and adjacent to the Rotunda. We therefore desire,
on behalf of the
Faculty, to express to you collectively and individually, one and all, our profoundest
gratitude and our
warmest praise for your noble and admirable demeanor on this trying occasion, for your
intense sym-
pathy with us in our irreparable losses, and your manly and self-sacrificing co-operation in our endeavors
to save something from the wreck, and rehabilitate the great institution consecrated by
the name of
Jefferson. We are perfectly sure that every man, every student, will continue to do his
whole duty in
the same splendid spirit of devotion to Alma Mater; that all will nobly stand by us in our
misfortune;
that all will work gladly and gallantly together without murmur and without complaint,
and soon we
shall behold our great Mother rising before us statelier, stronger than ever, the glory of
Virginia, the
glory of the entire South. | | Similar Items: | Find |
113 | Author: | Higginson, Thomas Wentworth, 1823-1911 | Requires cookie* | | Title: | Malbone: an Oldport romance ![](https://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/icons/default/i_tei.gif) | | | Published: | 1997 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | AS one wanders along this southwestern promontory of the Isle of Peace, and looks
down upon the green translucent water which forever bathes the marble slopes of the
Pirates' Cave, it is natural to think of the ten wrecks with which the past winter
has strewn this shore. Though almost all trace of their presence is already gone, yet
their mere memory lends to these cliffs a human interest. Where a stranded vessel
lies, thither all steps converge, so long as one plank remains upon another. There
centres the emotion. All else is but the setting, and the eye sweeps with
indifference the line of unpeopled rocks. They are barren, till the imagination has
tenanted them with possibilities of danger and dismay. The ocean provides the scenery
and properties of a perpetual tragedy, but the interest arrives with the performers.
Till then the shores remain vacant, like the
great conventional arm-chairs of the French drama, that wait for Rachel to come and
die. | | Similar Items: | Find |

the gratification of my curiosity, it has been supposed that I did it for the
purpose of writing a book; and it has more than once been intimated in the
papers, that such a work was actually in the press, containing scenes and
sketches of the Far West. | | Similar Items: | Find |
