TheSickRoseThe Sick Rose病玫瑰William Blake作者:(英国)威廉·布莱克翻译:张和清(中文翻译版本一)O Rose, thou art sick.绽放玫瑰却销魂,The invisible worm无影虫子暗飞行。
That flies in the night风雨咆哮何太急,In the howling storm已是茫茫夜深沉。
Has found out thy bed寻寻觅觅愁煞人,Of crimson joy,绯红乐床玫瑰情。
And his dark secret love夜阑之间幽幽爱,Does thy life destroy.妄送了卿卿性命。
病玫瑰(中文翻译版本二)玫瑰啊,病倒的玫瑰那无形的飞虫在狂啸的暴风雨中在那沉沉的夜中穿行。
飞虫已找到你绯红色快活的床。
那黑夜隐秘的爱情毁掉了你的生命。
赏析在西方文学中,“玫瑰”一向是美丽爱情的象征,然而布莱克以他独特的方式对传统意象进行改造,赋予新的思想内涵。
从字面上看,《病玫瑰》是一首描写风暴夜一朵玫瑰遭害虫侵袭而夭折的小诗。
其实,诗中的“玫瑰”和“虫子”不仅仅是现实中的一朵花和昆虫,而是意蕴深刻的象征物。
这里“玫瑰”被喻体化了,暗指“女性美”、“爱情”或一种“感官上的快感”。
诗中的“床”既可以指女人的“床”,也可以指“花床”本身。
同样,“绯红色喜悦”内蕴红玫瑰的美丽,也暗含了偷情的欢愉。
诗中的爱情以一种病态出现,病因是那“看不见的虫子”。
全诗暗示由于“黑色隐秘的爱”,爱情不再清纯美丽,丧失了天真和贞洁。
由此看来,诗歌的内涵十分丰富,指向不一。
全诗意蕴深刻,在一定意义上表达了一种“天真”遭“经验”摧残的思想。
威廉.布莱克(1757~182)出身贫寒,14岁时开始学习雕版刻画。
24岁时与凯瑟琳鲍乇结婚,她是文盲,布莱克教她读书识字。
他一生大部分时间生活在贫穷、误解和孤独之中,他的修改桀骜不驯,思想更是不合世俗。
the-cask-of-Amontillado-翻译D“老兄,这不行。
有事没事倒没什么,就是冷得够呛,我看你受不了。
地窖里潮得不得了。
四壁都是硝。
”“咱们还是走吧,冷算不了什么。
白葡萄酒!你可上当啦。
说到卢克雷西,他连雪梨酒跟白葡萄酒都分不清。
”说着福吐纳托就架住我胳膊;我戴上黑绸面具,把短披风紧紧裹住身子,就由他催着我上公馆去了。
家里听差一个也不见,都趁机溜出去过节了。
我对他们说过我要到第二天早晨才回家,还跟他们讲明,不准出门。
我心里有数,这么一吩咐,包管我刚转身,马上就一个个都跑光了。
我从烛台上拿了两个火把,一个给福吐纳托,领他穿过几套房间,走进拱廊,通往地窖,走下长长一座回旋楼梯,请他一路跟着,随加小心。
我们终于到了楼梯脚下,一块站在蒙特里梭府墓窖的湿地上。
我朋友的脚步摇摇晃晃,跨一步,帽上铃铛就丁零当啷响。
“那桶酒呢?”他说。
“在前面,”我说,“可得留神墙上雪白的蛛网在发光。
”他朝我回过身来,两只醉意朦胧的眼睛水汪汪的盯着我。
“硝?”他终于问道。
“硝,”我答道,“你害上那种咳嗽有多久了?”“呃嘿!呃嘿!——呃嘿!呃嘿!呃嘿!——呃嘿!呃嘿!呃嘿!——呃嘿!呃嘿!呃嘿!——呃嘿!呃嘿!呃嘿!”我那可怜的朋友老半天答不上口。
“没什么,”最后他说道。
“喏,”我依然答道,“咱们回去吧,你的身体要紧。
你有钱有势,人人敬慕,又得人心;你象我从前一样幸福。
要有个三长两短,那真是非同小可。
我倒无所谓,咱们回去吧,你害病,我可担待不起。
再说,还有卢克雷西——”“别说了,”他说,“咳嗽可不算什么,咳不死的。
我不会咳死。
” “对——对,”我答,“说真的的,我可不是存心吓唬你——可总得好好预防才是。
喝一口美道克酒去去潮气吧。
”说着我就从泥地上的一长溜酒瓶里,拿起一瓶酒,砸了瓶颈。
“喝吧,”我把酒递给他。
他瞟了我一眼,就将酒瓶举到唇边。
他歇下手,亲热的向我点点头,帽上铃铛就丁零当啷响了。
“我为周围那些长眠地下的干杯。
小学英语英语故事(童话故事)TheRoseElf玫瑰花精The Rose—Elf 玫瑰花精In the midst of a garden there grew a rose bush, quite covered with roses, and in the most beautiful of them all there lived an elf-an elf so tiny that no mortal eye could see him. But he was as well made and as perfect as any child could be, and he had wings reaching from his shoulders to his feet. Behind each petal of the rose he had a tiny bedroom. Oh, how fragrant his rooms were, and how bright and transparent the walls, for they were the beautiful pale pink petals of the rose! All day long the little elf rejoiced in the warm sunshine as he flew from flower to flower or danced on the wings of the fluttering butterflies and measured how many steps he would have to take to pass along all the roads and paths on a single linden leaf. You see, what we call the veins on a leaf were highroads and byways to him. It was a long journey, and he had begun it rather late, so before he finished, the sun had gone down!It turned very cold, dew fell, and the wind blew, so now it was high time he went home. He hurried as fast as he could, but to his dismay he found that the rose had closed its petals for the night! Not a single rose stood open! He couldn't get in! Now, the poor little rose elf was terribly frightened, for he had never been out at night before; he had always slumbered sweetly and safely behind the warm rose petals. This would surely be the death of him!Suddenly he remembered that at the other end of the garden there was an arbor of lovely honeysuckle, those flowers which looked like big painted horns. In one of them, perhaps, he could go down and sleep safely till morning.Swiftly he flew to the far end of the garden. But suddenly he stopped! Quiet! There were already two people in the arbor. The loveliest maiden and a handsome young man. They sat closely together and wished they might never, never part. They loved each other, even more than the best child can love its father and mother."Yet we must part," the young man was saying. "Your brother doesn't like me, so he is sending me on a long journey, far over distant mountains and oceans. Farewell, my sweetest bride, for that you will always be to me!"Then they kissed, and the young maiden wept and gave him a rose. But first she pressed on it a kiss so warm and tender that the rose petals opened, and then the little elf slipped quickly inside. As he leaned his tiny head against the delicate, fragrant walls, he could hear, "Farewell! Farewell!" and he felt that the rose was being placed on the young man's heart. Ah, how that heart beat! The little elf couldn't go to sleep for its beating!But not long did the rose rest undisturbed on that throbbing heart. As the young man walked lonely through the dark wood he took the rose out and kissed it so often and so warmly that the little elf was almost crushed. Through the petals he could feel the young man's burning lips, while the rose itself opened as if under the strongest midday sun.Suddenly another man appeared. It was the pretty maiden's gloomy and wicked brother! He drew out a long sharp knife, and while the young man was kissing the rose, thiswicked one stabbed him to death! Then he cut off the head and buried head and body in the soft earth beneath the linden tree."Now he's dead and forgotten!" the evil brother thought."He'll never come back again. He was supposed to have left on a long journey where a man might easily lose his life-and so he has lost his. No, he won't come back, and my sister won't ever dare ask me about him." Then he kicked dry leaves over the loose earth and went home in the darkness of the night.But he was not alone, as he thought. The little elf was with him. For, as he dug the grave, a dried, rolled-up linden leaf had fallen in his hair, and the rose elf was in that leaf. Now the man's hat was placed over the leaf, and it was very dark in there where the little elf trembled in fear and anger at the wicked deed.In the early morning, the evil man reached home. He took off his hat and went into his sister's bedroom. There lay the pretty maiden, dreaming of her beloved, whom she thought far away traveling over mountains and through the forests. The wicked brother leaned over her and laughed-the hideous laugh of a devil-and the withered leaf dropped from his hair onto her bed cover. But he didn't notice, and pretty soon he left her room to get a little sleep himself.Now the little elf crept quietly out of the withered leaf, slipped into the ear of the sleeping girl, and told her, as in a dream, the dreadful story of the murder. He described the spot in the woods where her brother had killed her sweetheart, and the place under the linden tree where the body was buried, and then whispered, "And so that you may not think this all a dream, you will find a withered leaf of the tree on your bedspread!" And when she awoke she found the leaf.Oh, what bitter, bitter tears she shed! Yet to no one did she dare betray her grief. All that day her window stood open, and the little elf could easily have escaped to the roses and all the other flowers of the garden, but he could not bear to leave thesorrowing girl.In the window stood a bush that bore roses every month, and he found a spot in one of those flowers from where he could watch the poor girl. Often her brother came into the room, merry with an evil mirth, and she dared not say a word of the grief in her heart.When night came she stole out of the house and into the forest to the place where the linden tree stood. She brushed away the leaves, dug into the earth, and so at last came to the body of her beloved. How she wept then, and how she prayed to God that she too might die! She would gladly have taken the body home with her, but since that would be impossible, she took up the pale head, with its closed eyes, kissed the cold mouth, and with a trembling hand brushed the dirt from the beautiful hair. "This, at least, I can keep," she wept. Then she buried the body again and scattered the leaves once more over it. But the head, together with a little sprig from a jasmine bush which bloomed in the wood where he had been killed, she took with her to her home.As soon as she reached her room she brought the biggest flowerpot she could find, and in this she laid the dead man's head, covered it with earth, and planted the sprig of jasmine.The little elf could no longer bear to see such grief. "Farewell, farewell," he whispered, and then he flew out to his rose in the garden. But it was withered and faded now, and only a few dry leaves clung to the bush. "Alas!" sighed the elf. "How soon everything good and beautiful passes away!" But at last he found another rose, and made his home in safety behind its delicate, fragrant petals.But every morning he would fly to the poor maiden's window, and he always found her there, weeping over the flowerpot.Softly her bitter tears fell upon the jasmine spray, and every day as she became paler and paler the sprig grew fresher and greener. New shoots appeared, one after another, and little white buds burst forth, and these she kissed.When her wicked brother saw her do that he scolded her and asked why she acted so silly. He didn't like it and didn't understand why she was always weeping over the flowerpot. He did not know what closed eyes were there, and what red lips had there returned to dust.And the pretty maiden leaned her head against the flowerpot, and the little elf found her there, fallen into a gentle slumber. So he crept again into her ear and whispered to her of that evening in the arbor and of the scent of the roses and the loves of the elves. Then she dreamed so sweetly, and while she dreamed her life passed gently away. She died a quiet death and was in Heaven with her beloved. And the jasmine flowers opened their big white bells and gave out their wonderful sweet fragrance. It was the only way they knew to weep for the dead.When the wicked brother saw the beautiful blooming plant, he took it for himself as an inheritance from his sister, and put it in his bedroom close beside his bed, for it was glorious indeed to look at, and its fragrance was sweet and fresh. But the little rose elf went with it, and flew from blossom to blossom; in each lived a tiny soul, and to each he told the story of the murdered man whose head even now rested under the earth beneath them. He told them of the evil brother and the poor sister."We know it!" replied each little soul in the flowers. "Did we not spring from those murdered eyes and lips? We know it! We know it!" they repeated, and nodded their heads in an odd way. The rose elf could not understand how they could be so quietabout it, and he flew out to the bees gathering honey and told them the terrible story about the wicked brother. So they reported it to their Queen, and the Queen commanded all the bees to kill the murderer the very next morning.But the night before, the first night after his sister's death, while the evil brother was asleep in his bed beside the fragrant jasmine, the flowers opened, and out of each blossom came a tiny spirit-invisible, but armed with a sharp little poisoned spear. First, they crept into his ears, and told him wicked dreams; then they flew across his lips, and pierced his tongue with their poisoned darts."Now we have avenged the dead man!" they cried, then flew back again into the white bells of the jasmine.When the morning came, and the windows of the bedroom were opened, the rose elf and the whole swarm of bees with their Queen swept in to kill him.But he was already dead, and people stood around his bed and said, "The scent of the jasmine has killed him!" Then the rose elf understood the vengeance of the flowers and told it to the Queen, and she and her whole swarm of bees ceaselessly hummed around the flowerpot and could not be driven away. When a man picked up the pot a bee stung him on the hand, so that he let it fall and it broke into pieces. Then the people saw the whitened skull and knew that the dead man on the bed was a murderer. So the Queen bee hummed in the air and sang of the vengeance of the flowers and about the rose elf, and how behind the smallest leaf there dwells One who can disclose and repay every evil.。

路畔的蔷薇郭沫若 清晨往松林里去散步,我在林荫路畔发见了一束被遗弃了的蔷薇。
蔷薇的花色还是鲜艳的,一朵紫红,一朵嫩红,一朵是病黄的象牙色中带着几分血晕(1)。
我把蔷薇拾在手里了。
青翠的叶上已经凝集着细密的露珠,这显然是昨夜被除人遗弃了的。
这是可怜的少女受了薄幸的男子的欺绐?还是不幸的青年受了轻狂的的妇人的玩弄? 昨晚上甜蜜的私语,今朝的冷清的露珠 (2) 我把蔷薇拿到家里来了,我想找个花瓶来供养它。
花瓶我没有(3),我在一只墙角上寻了一个断了颈子的盛酒的土瓶。
——蔷薇哟,我虽然不能供养你以春酒,但我要供养你以清洁的流泉,清洁的素心。
你在这破土瓶中虽然不免要凄凄寂寂地飘零(4),但比遗弃在路旁被人践踏了的好罢?Wayside RosesGuo Moruo Rambling through a pine forest early in the morning, I came across a bunch of forsaken roses lying by the shady wayside. They were still fresh in colour. One was purplish-red, another pink, still another a sickly ivory-yellow slightly tinged with blood-red. I picked them up in my hand. The numerous fine dewdrops on the fresh green leaves clearly showed that the roses had just been cast away the previous night. Were they pitiful maidens deflowered by fickle men? Or were they unlucky young men fooled by frivolous women? Last night’s whispers of love; this morning’s drops of cold dew… I brought the roses home and tried to find a flower vase to keep them in. Flower vase I had none, but I did find in a nook of my room an empty earthen wine bottle with its neck broken.--O dear roses, though unable to treat you to spring wine, I could offer you limpid spring water and my sincere pure heart. Wouldn’t it be better for you to wither away in solitude in this broken earthen wine bottle than to lie abandoned by the roadside and be trodden down upon? 注释: 《路畔的蔷薇》是郭沫若(1892-1978)的早期小品,玲珑剔透,饶有诗意,堪称一首优美的散文诗。

In the labyrinth of shelves and the comforting scent of paper and ink, the bookstore had always been my sanctuary. It was a place where I could lose myself in the pages of a novel, or find solace in the wisdom of the great philosophers. Little did I know that one ordinary afternoon, my sanctuary would become the stage for an encounter that would change my perspective on life.It was a Saturday, the kind of day where the sun was just shy of being too bright, and the air was crisp with the promise of autumn. I had escaped the cacophony of my familys weekend chores and sought refuge in the local bookstore. As I meandered through the aisles, my fingers traced the spines of books that whispered tales of adventure, romance, and mystery. I was in no hurry, content to let the day unfold at its leisurely pace.In the history section, I found myself drawn to a large, leatherbound volume on ancient civilizations. The weight of it in my hands felt significant, as if I was holding a piece of time itself. As I flipped through the pages, engrossed in the intricate illustrations and dense text, I didnt notice the elderly man who had approached.His voice, gentle and seasoned with a hint of a British accent, startled me. Fascinating, isnt it? The stories these pages hold. He was a tall man, with a back slightly bent by the weight of years, and eyes that held a twinkle of curiosity. I nodded, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment for not having noticed his presence sooner.We fell into conversation, discussing the rise and fall of empires, the evolution of human societies, and the profound impact of historical events on the present. His knowledge was vast, and his passion for history was infectious. He spoke of the past with a reverence that made me see the world in a new light.As we talked, he shared stories of his own travels, of standing amidst the ruins of ancient cities, feeling the echo of history in the whisper of the wind. He described the aweinspiring grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza, the serene beauty of the Acropolis in Athens, and the haunting silence of the Roman Colosseum. His words painted vivid images in my mind, transporting me to these distant lands and eras.He also spoke of the importance of learning from the past, of understanding the patterns of human behavior and the lessons that history has to offer. History is not just a collection of dates and events, he said, his eyes alight with fervor. Its a mirror that reflects our humanity, our triumphs, and our follies.Our conversation meandered like a river, branching out into discussions about literature, philosophy, and the nature of existence itself. Time seemed to lose its meaning as weshared our thoughts and ideas, each one sparking a new train of thought.As the afternoon sun began to cast long shadows across the bookstore, I realized that our encounter was drawing to a close. We exchanged a few parting words, and he left with a warm smile and a nod of mutual respect. I watched him walk away, a figure of wisdom and experience, leaving behind an indelible impression.That day in the bookstore was more than just an ordinary afternoon. It was a moment of connection, a sharing of knowledge, and a reminder of the power of human interaction. It taught me the value of engaging with others, of learning from their experiences, and of the endless possibilities that a simple conversation can hold.The elderly mans passion for history and his ability to see the world in a broader context inspired me to look beyond the confines of my own life. It was a reminder that every person we meet has a story to tell, a perspective to share, and a lesson to teach. And sometimes, all it takes is an open mind and a willingness to listen.。
鲜花荆棘英语作文600Thorns of Beauty: The Allure and Peril of Roses.In the realm of nature's artistry, where vibrant blooms unfurl their petals to the sun's caress, the rose stands as a timeless masterpiece. Its beauty captivates the senses, while its thorns serve as a constant reminder of theduality of nature's embrace. In this tapestry of allure and peril, the rose epitomizes the delicate balance between pleasure and pain, a harmonious contrast that weaves a tale as captivating as its scent.The rose's petals, soft as a lover's whisper, form layers of delicate tissue, each petal a masterpiece of intricate design. Their hues range from the ethereal blush of dawn to the rich crimson of passion, evoking emotions as varied as the colors themselves. The velvety texture of the petals invites a gentle caress, a touch that is both sensual and reverent.However, beneath this enchanting exterior, nature has bestowed upon the rose a protective defense. Its thorns, sharp as needles, stand guard around the delicate flower, a formidable barrier against potential threats. These thorns, while often concealed by the rose's beauty, serve as a constant reminder of the potential dangers that lie in wait.This duality between beauty and peril is the essence of the rose's allure. Its beauty draws us in, tempting us to bask in its radiant glow. Yet, the thorns remind us of the potential consequences, the pain that may accompany the pursuit of beauty. It is a lesson in the delicate balanceof nature, where pleasure and pain coexist in a dance of eternal harmony.The rose has long been a symbol of love, passion, and desire. Its presence in countless works of art, literature, and music attests to its enduring appeal. From thelegendary love story of Beauty and the Beast, where therose represented the prince's transformation, to the iconic red rose of St. Valentine's Day, the rose has become synonymous with the language of love.However, the rose's allure extends beyond the realm of romance. Its beauty has inspired poets and artists for centuries, capturing the imagination with its timeless elegance and evocative power. In the paintings of the Dutch masters, roses often adorned vases, their presence adding a touch of opulent beauty to the scene. The 19th-century French painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté immortalized the rose in his exquisite botanical illustrations, capturing its delicate details and vibrant colors with breathtaking precision.The rose's fragrance is another aspect of its allure. Its sweet scent, both heady and intoxicating, has the power to transport us to a world of tranquility and delight. Whether it is the delicate fragrance of a single bloom or the intoxicating scent of a rose garden, the rose's aroma has an almost magical effect on the senses.Yet, despite its beauty and allure, the rose's thorns serve as a constant reminder of life's complexities. The thorns represent the obstacles, challenges, and heartachesthat we all face in our pursuit of beauty and happiness. They remind us that the path to true fulfillment is often paved with both joy and pain.The rose's lesson is one of acceptance. It teaches us to embrace the beauty of life while acknowledging the inevitability of suffering. Just as the rose's thorns protect its delicate petals, life's challenges serve to strengthen our resilience and shape our character.In the tapestry of life, the rose is a poignant symbol of the human experience. Its beauty and allure reflect our own aspirations for a life filled with joy and contentment. Its thorns remind us of the challenges we must overcome in order to grow and evolve.The rose, therefore, is not merely a flower. It is a metaphor for the complexities of life, a reminder of the delicate balance between beauty and pain. It is a symbol of love, passion, and desire, as well as a reminder of the challenges and obstacles that we must face in our pursuit of happiness.As we navigate the labyrinth of life, may we take inspiration from the rose. May its beauty remind us to appreciate the joys of existence, and may its thorns remind us to embrace the challenges with courage and resilience. For in the tapestry of life, it is in the interplay between beauty and pain, pleasure and suffering, that we find true fulfillment.。

双语安徒生童话《玫瑰花精TheElfoftheRose》"I will keep this," said she; and as soon as she had covered the body again with the earth and leaves, she took the head and a little sprig of jasmine that bloomed in the wood, near the spot where he was buried, and carried them home with her. As soon as she was in her room, she took the largest flower-pot she could find, and in this she placed the head of the dead man, covered it up with earth, and planted the twig of jasmine in it."Farewell, farewell," whispered the little elf. He could not any longer endure to witness all this agony of grief, he therefore flew away to his own rose in the garden. But the rose was faded; only a few dry leaves still clung to the green hedge behind it."Alas! how soon all that is good and beautiful passes away," sighed the elf.After a while he found another rose, which became his home, for among its delicate fragrant leaves he could dwell in safety. Every morning he flew to the window of the poor girl, and always found her weeping by the flower pot. The bitter tears fell upon the jasmine twig, and each day, as she became paler and paler, the sprig appeared to grow greener and fresher.One shoot after another sprouted forth, and little white buds blossomed, which the poor girl fondly kissed. But herwicked brother scolded her, and asked her if she was going mad. He could not imagine why she was weeping over that flower-pot, and it annoyed him. He did not know whose closed eyes were there, nor what red lips were fading beneath the earth. And one day she sat and leaned her head against the flower-pot, and the little elf of the rose found her asleep. Then he seated himself by her ear, talked to her of that evening in the arbor, of the sweetperfume of the rose, and the loves of the elves.Sweetly she dreamed, and while she dreamt, her life passed away calmly and gently, and her spirit was with himwhom she loved, in heaven. And the jasmine opened its large white bells, and spread forth its sweet fragrance; it had no other way of showing its grief for the dead.But the wicked brother considered the beautiful blooming plant as his own property, left to him by his sister, and he placed it in his sleeping room, close by his bed, for it was very lovely in appearance, and the fragrance sweet and delightful. The little elf of the rose followed it, and flew from flower to flower, telling each little spirit that dwelt in them the story of the murdered young man, whose head now formed part of the earth beneath them, and of the wicked brother and the poor sister."We know it," said each little spirit in the flowers, "we know it, for have we not sprung from the eyes and lips of the murdered one. We know it, we know it," and the flowers nodded with their heads in a peculiar manner. The elf of the rose could not understand how they could rest so quietly in the matter, so he flew to the bees, who were gathering honey, and told them of the wicked brother. And the bees told it to their queen, who commanded that the next morning they should go and kill the murderer.But during the night, the first after the sister's death, while the brother was sleeping in his bed, close to where he had placed the fragrant jasmine, every flower cup opened, and invisibly the little spirits stole out, armed with poisonous spears. They placed themselves by the ear of the sleeper, toldhim dreadful dreams and then flew across his lips, and pricked his tongue with their poisoned spears. "Now have we revenged the dead," said they,and flew back into the white bells of the jasmine flowers. When the morning came, and as soon as the window was opened, the rose elf, with the queen bee, and the whole swarm of bees, rushed in to kill him. But he was already dead.People were standing round the bed, and saying that the scent of the jasmine had killed him. Then the elf of the rose understood the revenge of the flowers, and explained it to the queen bee, and she, with the whole swarm, buzzed about the flower-pot. The bees could not be driven away. Then a man took it up to remove it, and one of the bees stung him in the hand, so that he let the flower-pot fall, and it was broken to pieces.Then every one saw the whitened skull, and they knew the dead man in the bed was a murderer. And the queen bee hummed in the air, and sang of the revenge of the flowers, and of the elf of the rose and said that behind the smallest leaf dwells One, who can discover evil deeds, and punish them also.玫瑰花精花园中央有一个玫瑰花丛,开满了玫瑰花。

双语安徒生童话《玫瑰花精TheElfoftheRose》IN the midst of a garden grew a rose-tree, in full blossom, and in the prettiest of all the roses lived an elf. He was such a little wee thing, that no human eye could see him. Behind each leaf of the rose he had a sleeping chamber.He was as well formed and as beautiful as a little child could be, and had wings that reached from his shoulders to his feet. Oh, what sweet fragrance there was in his chambers! and how clean and beautiful were the walls! for they were the blushing leaves of the rose.During the whole day he enjoyed himself in the warm sunshine, flew from flower to flower, and danced on the wings of the flying butterflies. Then he took it into his head to measure how many steps he would have to go through the roads and cross-roads that are on the leaf of a linden-tree. What we call the veins on a leaf, he took for roads; aye, and very long roads they were for him; for before he had half finished his task, the sun went down: he had commenced his work too late. It became very cold, the dew fell, and the wind blew; so he thought the best thing he could do would be to return home. He hurried himself as much as he could; but he found the roses all closed up, and he could not get in; not a single rose stood open.The poor little elf was very much frightened. He had never before been out at night, but had always slumbered secretly behind the warm rose-leaves. Oh, this would certainly be his death. At the other end of the garden, he knew there was an arbor, overgrown with beautiful honey-suckles. The blossoms looked like large painted horns; and he thought to himself, he would go and sleep in one of these till the morning. He flew thither; but"hush!" two people were in the arbor,- a handsome young man and a beautiful lady. They sat side by side, and wished that they might never be obliged to part. They loved each other much more than the best child can love its father and mother."But we must part," said the young man; "your brother does not like our engagement, and therefore he sends me so far away on business, over mountains and seas. Farewell, my sweet bride; for so you are to me."And then they kissed each other, and the girl wept, and gave him a rose; but before she did so, she pressed a kiss upon it so fervently that the flower opened. Then the little elf flew in, and leaned his head on the delicate, fragrant walls. Here he could plainly hear them say, "Farewell, farewell;" and he felt that the rose had been placed on the young man's breast. Oh, how his heart did beat! The little elf could not go to sleep, it thumped so loudly. The young man took it out as he walked through the dark wood alone, and kissed the flower so often and so violently, that the little elf was almost crushed. He could feel through the leaf how hot the lips of the young man were, and the rose had opened, as if from the heat of the noonday sun.There came another man, who looked gloomy and wicked. He was the wicked brother of the beautiful maiden. He drew out a sharp knife, and while the other was kissing the rose, the wicked man stabbed him to death; then he cut off his head, and buried it with the body in the soft earth under the linden-tree."Now he is gone, and will soon be forgotten," thought the wicked brother; "he will never come back again. He was going on a long journey over mountains and seas; it is easy for a man to lose his life in such a journey. My sister will suppose he is dead; for he cannot come back, and she will not dare to question meabout him."Then he scattered the dry leaves over the light earth with his foot, and went home through the darkness; but he went not alone, as he thought,- the little elf accompanied him. He sat in a dry rolled-up linden-leaf, which had fallen from the tree on to the wicked man's head, as he was digging the grave. The hat was on the head now, which made it very dark, and the little elf shuddered with fright and indignation at the wicked deed.It was the dawn of morning before the wicked man reached home; he took off his hat, and went into his sister's room. There lay the beautiful, blooming girl, dreaming of himwhom she loved so, and who was now, she supposed, travelling far away over mountain and sea. Her wicked brotherstopped over her, and laughed hideously, as fiends only can laugh.The dry leaf fell out of his hair upon the counterpane; but he did not notice it, and went to get a little sleep during the early morning hours. But the elf slipped out of the withered leaf, placed himself by the ear of the sleeping girl, and told her, as in a dream, of the horrid murder; described the place where her brother had slain her lover, and buried his body; and told her of the linden-tree, in full blossom, that stood close by."That you may not think this is only a dream that I have told you," he said, "you will find on your bed a withered leaf."Then she awoke, and found it there. Oh, what bitter tears she shed! and she could not open her heart to any one for relief.The window stood open the whole day, and the little elf could easily have reached the roses, or any of the flowers; but he could not find it in his heart to leave one so afflicted. In the window stood a bush bearing monthly roses. He seated himself in one of the flowers, and gazed on the poor girl. Her brotheroften came into the room, and would be quite cheerful, in spite of his base conduct; so she dare not say a word to him of her heart's grief.As soon as night came on, she slipped out of the house, and went into the wood, to the spot where the linden-tree stood; and after removing the leaves from the earth, she turned it up, and there found him who had been murdered. Oh, how she wept and prayed that she also might die! Gladly would she have taken the body home with her; but that was impossible; so she took up the poor head with the closed eyes, kissed the cold lips, and shook the mould out of the beautiful hair.。
The Rose of DixieWhen The Rose of Dixie magazine was started by a stock company in Toombs City, Georgia, there was never but one candidate for its chief editorial position in the minds of its owners. Col. Aquila Telfair was the man for the place. By all the rights of learning, family, reputation, and Southern traditions, he was its foreordained, fit, and logical editor. So, a committee of the patriotic Georgia citizens who had subscribed the founding fund of $100,000 called upon Colonel Telfair at his residence, Cedar Heights, fearful lest the enterprise and the South should suffer by his possible refusal. The colonel received them in his great library, where he spent most of his days. The library had descended to him from his father. It contained ten thousand volumes, some of which hadbeen published as late as the year 1861. When the deputation arrived, Colonel Telfair was seated at his massive white-pine centre-table, reading Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. He arose and shook hands punctiliously with each member of the committee. If you were familiar with The Rose of Dixie you will remember the colonel's portrait, which appeared in it from time to time. You could not forget the long, carefully brushed white hair; the hooked, high-bridged nose, slightly twisted to the left; the keen eyes under the still black eyebrows; the classic mouth beneath the drooping white mustache, slightly frazzled at the ends.The committee solicitously offered him the position of managing editor, humbly presenting an outline of the field that the publication was designed to cover and mentioning a comfortable salary. The colonel's lands were growing poorer each year andwere much cut up by red gullies. Besides, the honor was not one to be refused.In a forty-minute speech of acceptance, Colonel Telfair gave an outline of English literature from Chaucer to Macaulay, re-fought the battle of Chancellorsville, and said that, God helping him, he would so conduct The Rose of Dixie that its fragrance and beauty would permeate the entire world, hurling back into the teeth of the Northern minions their belief that no genius or good could exist in the brains and hearts of the people whose property they had destroyed and whose rights they had curtailed.Offices for the magazine were partitioned off and furnished in the second floor of the First National Bank building; and it was for the colonel to cause The Rose of Dixie to blossom and flourish or to wilt in the balmy air of the land of flowers.The staff of assistants and contributors that Editor-Colonel Telfair drew about him was a peach. It was a whole crate of Georgia peaches. The first assistant editor, Tolliver Lee Fairfax, had had a father killed during Pickett's charge. The second assistant, Keats Unthank, was the nephew of one of Morgan's Raiders. The book reviewer, Jackson Rockingham, had been the youngest soldier in the Confederate army, having appeared on the field of battle with a sword in one hand and a milk-bottle in the other. The art editor, Roncesvalles Sykes, was a third cousin to a nephew of Jefferson Davis. Miss Lavinia Terhune, the colonel's stenographer and typewriter, had an aunt who had once been kissed by Stonewall Jackson. Tommy Webster, the head office-boy, got his job by having recited Father Ryan's poems, complete, at the commencement exercises of the Toombs City High School. The girls who wrapped and addressed themagazines were members of old Southern families in Reduced Circumstances. The cashier was a scrub named Hawkins, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, who had recommendations and a bond from a guarantee company filed with the owners. Even Georgia stock companies sometimes realize that it takes live ones to bury the dead.Well, sir, if you believe me, The Rose of Dixie blossomed five times before anybody heard of it except the people who buy their hooks and eyes in Toombs City. Then Hawkins climbed off his stool and told on 'em to the stock company. Even in Ann Arbor he had been used to having his business propositions heard of at least as far away as Detroit. So an advertising manager was engaged -- Beauregard Fitzhugh Banks, a young man in a lavender necktie, whose grandfather had been the Exalted HighPillow-slip of the Kuklux Klan.In spite of which The Rose of Dixie kept coming out every month. Although in every issue it ran photos of either the Taj Mahal or the Luxembourg Gardens, or Carmencita or La Follette, a certain number of people bought it and subscribed for it. As a boom for it, Editor- Colonel Telfair ran three different views of Andrew Jackson's old home, "The Hermitage," a full-page engraving of the second battle of Manassas, entitled "Lee to the Rear!" and a five-thousand-word biography of Belle Boyd in the same number. The subscription list that month advanced 118. Also there were poems in the same issue by Leonina Vashti Haricot (pen-name), related to the Haricots of Charleston, South Carolina, and Bill Thompson, nephew of one of the stockholders. And an article from a special society correspondent describing a tea-party given by the swell Boston and English set, where a lot of tea was spilled overboard bysome of the guests masquerading as Indians.One day a person whose breath would easily cloud a mirror, he was so much alive, entered the office of The Rose of Dixie. He was a man about the size of a real-estate agent, with a self-tied tie and a manner that he must have borrowed conjointly from W J. Bryan, Hackenschmidt, and Hetty Green. He was shown into the editor- colonel's pons asinorum. Colonel Telfair rose and began a Prince Albert bow."I'm Thacker," said the intruder, taking the editor's chair--"T. T. Thacker, of New York."He dribbled hastily upon the colonel's desk some cards, a bulky manila envelope, and a letter from the owners of The Rose of Dixie. This letter introduced Mr. Thacker, and politely requested Colonel Telfair to give him a conference and whatever information about the magazine he might desire."I've been corresponding with the secretary of the magazine owners for some time," said Thacker, briskly. "I'm a practical magazine man myself, and a circulation booster as good as any, if I do say it. I'll guarantee an increase of anywhere from ten thousand to a hundred thousand a year for any publication that isn't printed in a dead language. I've had my eye on The Rose of Dixie ever since it started. I know every end of the business from editing to setting up the classified ads. Now, I've come down here to put a good bunch of money in the magazine, if I can see my way clear. It ought to be made to pay. The secretary tells me it's losing money. I don't see why a magazine in the South, if it's properly handled, shouldn't get a good circulation in the North, too."Colonel Telfair leaned back in his chair and polished his gold-rimmed glasses."Mr. Thacker," said he, courteously but firmly, "The Rose of Dixie is a publication devoted to the fostering and the voicing of Southern genius. Its watchword, which you may have seen on the cover, is 'Of, For, and By the South.'""But you wouldn't object to a Northern circulation, would you?" asked Thacker."I suppose," said the editor-colonel, "that it is customary to open the circulation lists to all. I do not know. I have nothing to do with the business affairs of the magazine. I was called upon to assume editorial control of it, and I have devoted to its conduct such poor literary talents as I may possess and whatever store of erudition I may have acquired." "Sure," said Thacker. "But a dollar is a dollar anywhere, North, South, or West--whether you're buying codfish, goober peas, or Rocky Ford cantaloupes. Now, I've been looking over yourNovember number. I see one here on your desk. You don't mind running over it with me?"Well, your leading article is all right. A good write-up of the cotton-belt with plenty of photographs is a winner any time. New York is always interested in the cotton crop. And this sensational account of Hatfield-McCoy feud, by a schoolmate of a niece of the Governor of Kentucky, isn't such a bad idea. It happened so long ago that most people have forgotten it. Now, here's a poem three pages long called 'The Tyrant's Foot,' by Lorella Lascelles. I've pawed around a good deal over manuscripts, but I never saw her name on a rejection slip." "Miss Lascelles," said the editor, "is one of our most widely recognized Southern poetesses. She is closely related to the Alabama Lascelles family, and made with her own hands the silken Confederate banner that was presented to the governor of thatstate at his inauguration.""But why," persisted Thacker, "is the poem illustrated with a view of the M. & 0. Railroad freight depot at Tuscaloosa?" "The illustration," said the colonel, with dignity, "shows a corner of the fence surrounding the old homestead where Miss Lascelles was born.""All right," said Thacker. "I read the poem, but I couldn't tell whether it was about the depot of the battle of Bull Run. Now, here's a short story called 'Rosies' Temptation,' by Fosdyke Piggott. It's rotten. What is a Piggott, anyway?""Mr. Piggott," said the editor, "is a brother of the principal stockholder of the magazine.""All's right with the world--Piggott passes," said Thacker. "Well this article on Arctic exploration and the one on tarpon fishing might go. But how about this write-up of the Atlanta,New Orleans, Nashville, and Savannah breweries? It seems to consist mainly of statistics about their output and the quality of their beer. What's the chip over the bug?""If I understand your figurative language," answered Colonel Telfair, "it is this: the article you refer to was handed to me by the owners of the magazine with instructions to publish it. The literary quality of it did not appeal to me. But, in a measure, I feel impelled to conform, in certain matters, to the wishes of the gentlemen who are interested in the financial side of The Rose.""I see," said Thacker. "Next we have two pages of selections from 'Lalla Rookh,' by Thomas Moore. Now, what Federal prison did Moore escape from, or what's the name of the F. F. V. family that he carries as a handicap?""Moore was an Irish poet who died in 1852," said Colonel Telfair,pityingly. "He is a classic. I have been thinking of reprinting his translation of Anacreon serially in the magazine." "Look out for the copyright laws," said Thacker, flippantly. Who's Bessie Belleclair, who contributes the essay on the newly completed water-works plant in Milledgeville?""The name, sir," said Colonel Telfair, "is the nom de guerre of Miss Elvira Simpkins. I have not the honor of knowing the lady; but her contribution was sent to us by Congressman Brower, of her native state. Congressman Brower's mother was related to the Polks of Tennessee."Now, see here, Colonel," said Thacker, throwing down the magazine, "this won't do. You can't successfully run a magazine for one particular section of the country. You've got to make a universal appeal. Look how the Northern publications have catered to the South and encouraged the Southern writers. Andyou've got to go far and wide for your contributors. You've got to buy stuff according to its quality without any regard to the pedigree of the author. Now, I'll bet a quart of ink that this Southern parlor organ you've been running has never played a note that originated about Mason & Hamlin's line. Am I right?" "I have carefully and conscientiously rejected all contributions from that section of the country--if I understand your figurative language aright," replied the colonel."All right. Now I'll show you something."Thacker reached for his thick manila envelope and dumped a mass of typewritten manuscript on the editors desk."Here's some truck," said he, "that I paid cash for, and brought along with me."One by one he folded back the manuscripts and showed their first pages to the colonel.Here are four short stories four of the highest priced authors in the United States--three of 'em living in New York, and one commuting. There's a special article on Vienna-bred society by Tom Vampson. Here's an Italian serial by Captain Jack--no--it's the other Crawford. Here are three separate exposes of city governments by Sniffings, and here's a dandy entitled 'What Women Carry in Dress-Suit Cases'--a Chicago newspaper woman hired herself out for five years as a lady's maid to get that information. And here's a Synopsis of Preceding Chapters of Hall Caine's new serial to appear next June. And here's a couple of pounds of vers de societe that I got at a rate from the clever magazines. That's the stuff that people everywhere want. And now here's a writeup with photographs at the ages of four, twelve, twenty-two, and thirty of George B. McClellan. It's a prognostication. He's bound to be elected Mayor of New York.It '11 make a big hit all over the country. He--""I beg your pardon," said Colonel Telfair, stiffening in his chair. "What was the name?""Oh, I see," said Thacker, with half a grin. Yes, he's a son of the General. We'll pass that manuscript up. But, if you'll excuse me, Colonel, it's a magazine we're trying to make go off--not the first gun at Fort Sumter. Now, here's a thing that's bound to get next to you. It's an original poem by James Whitcomb Riley. J.W. himself. You know what that means to a magazine. I won't tell you what I had to pay for that poem; but I'll tell you this--Riley can make more money writing with a fountain-pen than you or I can with one that lets the ink run. I'll read you the last two stanzas:"'Pa lays around 'n' loafs all day,'N' reads and makes us leave him be.He lets me do just like I please,'N' when I'm in bad helaughs at me,'N' when I holler loud 'n' sayBad words 'n' then begin to teaseThe cat, 'n' pa just smiles, ma's mad'N' gives me Jesse crost her knees.I always wondered why that wuz-I guess it's causePa never does."''N' after all the lights are outI'm sorry 'bout it; so I creepOut of my trundle bed to ma's'N' say I love her a whole heap,'N' kiss her, 'n' I hug her tight.'N' it's too dark to see her eyes,But every time I do I knowShe cries 'n' cries 'n' cries 'n' cries.I always wondered why that wuz-I guess it's 'causePa never does.'"That's the stuff," continued Thacker. "What do you think of that?""I am not unfamiliar with the works of Mr. Riley," said the colonel, deliberately. "I believe he lives in Indiana. For the last ten years I have been somewhat of a literary recluse, and am familiar with nearly all the books in the Cedar Heightslibrary. I am also of the opinion that a magazine should contain a certain amount of poetry. Many of the sweetest singers of the South have already contributed to the pages of The Rose of Dixie. I, myself, have thought of translating from the original for publication in its pages the works of the great Italian poet Tasso. Have you ever drunk from the fountain of this immortal poet's lines, Mr. Thacker?""Not even a demi-Tasso," said Thacker.Now, let's come to the point, Colonel Telfair. I've already invested some money in this as a flyer. That bunch of manuscripts cost me $4,000. My object was to try a number of them in the next issue-I believe you make up less than a month ahead--and see what effect it has on the circulation. I believe that by printing the best stuff we can get in the North, South, East, or West we can make the magazine go. You have there theletter from the owning company asking you to co-operate with me in the plan. Let's chuck out some of this slush that you've been publishing just because the writers are related to the Skoopdoodles of Skoopdoodle County. Are you with me?""As long as I continue to be the editor of The Rose," said Colonel Telfair, with dignity, "I shall be its editor. But I desire also to conform to the wishes of its owners if I can do so conscientiously.""That's the talk," said Thacker, briskly. "Now, how much of this stuff I've brought can we get into the January number? We want to begin right away.""There is yet space in the January number," said the editor, "for about eight thousand words, roughly estimated." "Great!" said Thacker. "It isn't much, but it'll give the readers some change from goobers, governors, and Gettysburg.I'll leave the selection of the stuff I brought to fill the space to you, as it's all good. I've got to run back to New York, and I'll be down again in a couple of weeks."Colonel Telfair slowly swung his eye-glasses by their broad, black ribbon."The space in the January number that I referred to," said he, measuredly, "has been held open purposely, pending a decision that I have not yet made. A short time ago a contribution was submitted to The Rose of Dixie that is one of the most remarkable literary efforts that has ever come under my observation. None but a master mind and talent could have produced it. It would just fill the space that I have reserved for its possible use." Thacker looked anxious."What kind of stuff is it?" he asked. "Eight thousand words sounds suspicious. The oldest families must have beencollaborating. Is there going to be another secession ?" "The author of the article," continued the colonel, ignoring Thacker's allusions, "is a writer of some reputation. He has also distinguished himself in other ways. I do not feel at liberty to reveal to you his name--at least not until I have decided whether or not to accept his contribution." "Well," said Thacker, nervously, "is it a continued story, or an account of the unveiling of the new town pump in Whitmire, South Carolina, or a revised list of General Lee'sbody-servants, or what?""You are disposed to be facetious," said Colonel Telfair, calmly. "The article is from the pen of a thinker, a philosopher, a lover of mankind, a student, and a rhetorician of high degree.""It must have been written by a syndicate," said Thacker. "But,honestly, Colonel, you want to go slow. I don't know of any eight- thousand-word single doses of written matter that are read by anybody these days, except Supreme Court briefs and reports of murder trials. You haven't by any accident gotten hold of a copy of one of Daniel Webster's speeches, have you?" Colonel Telfair swung a little in his chair and looked steadily from under his bushy eyebrows at the magazine promoter. "Mr. Thacker," he said, gravely, "I am willing to segregate the somewhat crude expression of your sense of humor from the solicitude that your business investments undoubtedly have conferred upon you. But I must ask you to cease your jibes and derogatory comments upon the South and the Southern people. They, sir, will not be tolerated in the office of The Rose of Dixie for one moment. And before you proceed with more of your covert insinuations that I, the editor of this magazine, am nota competent judge of the merits of the matter submitted to its consideration, I beg that you will first present some evidence or proof that you are my superior in any way, shape, or form relative to the question in hand.""Oh, come, Colonel," said Thacker, good-naturedly. "I didn't do anything like that to you. It sounds like an indictment by the fourth assistant attorney-general. Let's get back to business. What's this 8,000 to 1 shot about?""The article," said Colonel Telfair, acknowledging the apology by a slight bow, "covers a wide area of knowledge. It takes up theories and questions that have puzzled the world for centuries, and disposes of them logically and concisely. One by one it holds up to view the evils of the world, points out the way of eradicating them; and then conscientiously and in detail comments the good. There is hardly a phase of human lifethat it does not discuss wisely, calmly, and equitably. The great policies of governments, the duties of private citizens, the obligations of home life, law, ethics, morality--all these important subjects are handled with a calm wisdom and confidence that I must confess has captured my admiration." "It must be a crackerjack," said Thacker, impressed."It is a great contribution to the world's wisdom," said the colonel. "The only doubt remaining in my mind as to the tremendous advantage it would be to us to give it publication in The Rose of Dixie is that I have not yet sufficient information about the author to give his work publicity in our magazine."I thought you said he is a distinguished man," said Thacker. "He is," replied the colonel, "both in literary and in other more diversified and extraneous fields. But I am extremelycareful about the matter that I accept for publication. My contributors are people of unquestionable repute and connections, which fact can be verified at any time. As I said, I am holding this article until I can acquire more information about its author. I do not know whether I will publish it or not. If I decide against it, I shall be much pleased, Mr. Thacker, to substitute the matter that you are leaving with me in its place."Thacker was somewhat at sea."I don't seem to gather," said he, "much about the gist of this inspired piece of literature. It sounds more like a dark horse than Pegasus to me.""It is a human document," said the colonel-editor, confidently, "from a man of great accomplishments who, in my opinion, has obtained a stronger grasp on the world and its outcomes thanthat of any man living to-day."Thacker rose to his feet excitedly."Say!" he said. "It isn't possible that you've cornered John D. Rockefeller's memoirs, is it? Don't tell me that all at once."No, sir," said Colonel Telfair. "I am speaking of mentality and literature not of the less worthy intricacies of trade." Well, what's the trouble about running the article," asked Thacker, a little impatiently, "if the man's well known and has got the stuff ?" Colonel Telfair sighed."Mr. Thacker," said he, "for once I have been tempted. Nothing has yet appeared in The Rose of Dixie that has not been from the pen of one of its sons or daughters. I know little about the author of this article except that he has acquired prominence in a section of the country that has always beeninimical to my heart and mind. But I recognize his genius; and, as I have told you, I have instituted an investigation of his personality. Perhaps it will be futile. But I shall pursue the inquiry. Until that is finished, I must leave open the question of filling the vacant space in our January number."Thacker arose to leave."All right, Colonel," he said, as cordially as he could. "You use your own judgment. If you've really got a scoop or something that will make 'em sit up, run it instead of my stuff. I'll drop in again in about two weeks. Good luck!"Colonel Telfair and the magazine promoter shook hands. Returning a fortnight later, Thacker dropped off a very rocky Pullman at Toombs City. He found the January number of the magazine made up and the forms closed.The vacant space that had been yawning for type was filled byan article that was headed thus: SECOND MESSAGE TO CONGRESSWritten forTHE ROSE OF DIXIEBYA Member of the Well-knownBULLOCH FAMILY, OF GEORGIAT. Roosevelt。
