Capitolo 80
Not the half one hundred!"
So that not from this small happy rocket that undoubtedly celebrated some university
ornate, wrong conclusions should be you draw, I hasten me to say that in
university James Garfield neither he/she drank neither it smoked.
The next poem is rather long, but it possesses interest as a serious
production of one whose name is become a word of family. You/he/she is entitled
"MEMORY.
"'Tis the beautiful night; the stars look down brightly
On the earth, it decorated in his/her bathrobe of snow.
Any light glints to the window save mine really,
What it gives his/her humor to midnight and me.
And now with footstep silent sweet Memory comes,
And it softly conducts me through his/her kingdoms of twilight.
The melodious lira of what poet has ever sung,
Or e'ers of pencil of delicatest withdrew
The spellbound one, shady earth where breaks of Memory?
It has his/her valleys, sad, solo and drear,
Dark-shaded by the tree of solitary cypress.
And he/she anchors his/her tops of mountain illuminated by the sun they are wet
In the really blue one of sky. On his/her dug cliffs,
Dressed in the dreamy light of distant years,
The joys you/he/she is gathered they clear of other days;
On the bank of his/her slant softly tilting himself/herself/itself
The o'er of the weeping-willows the sacred dust
Of darlings a pasts; and still in that earth,
Where'er that our footsteps fall on the beach,
Them that was sleeping increase from out the dust
Of the long years, silent of death, and it rounds off us stand,
How their ersts did in front of the grave of jail
Received their clay inside his/her rooms without voice.
"The skies that turn above of that earth they are suspended
With clouds of various colors; some dark color and cold,
Increased the price than with pain, throws their dark shade
On the statement to the sun, cheerful earth under;
Others are being floating through the dreamy air,
White as the falling snow, their borders dyed,
With gold and colors of crimson; their shades fall
On the in bloom lawns and slant exposed to the sun,
