A reflective excerpt on labor as a sacred regiment praising God. The lines depict choppers, raftmen, and woodcutters marching in sequence toward triumph through honest toil and faithful service.
A nurse tending a typhoid fever patient in a private contagious ward calms him with a motherly, steady comfort. Her thoughts drift to past losses, a sister or sweetheart, and the memory of Jim as the patient relapses after a fruit basket misstep.
A frail man sits in an arm chair by a window as snow melts in bright light. His visitors have left on the doctor’s orders and he awaits Nurse Blakely with irritable longing hidden by weakness. She enters quietly to help ease his aching back.
A fevered patient and Nurse Marjorie share a tense, intimate moment as he recalls a brother and teases affection while languishing in illness. The nurse’s cool professionalism clashes with tender longing, revealing entwined past ties and a hint of medical restraint.
A linesman notes birds flock to street lamps for an easy meal as insects swarm the glow nightly. The writer compares the lure to a millionaire’s daughter waking without effort, and reflects on luck and wealth from a battered coin.
A German legend recounts King Conrad sacking Weinsberg and offering a pardon after wives surrendering their husbands in sacks. The town’s women plead for mercy, the maidenly embassy succeeds, and the king grants clemency with a royal ball that night. Translated from Gottfried August Burger.
Central Kansas reports a remarkable corn year with stalks averaging 12 to 15 feet and ears heavy enough to pull stalks down.
