When credit is limited, it may seem that options for credit cards are also limited. Some may even consider not applying nor using a credit card entirely. However, the only solution to rebuilding damaged or poor credit card is finding the right card that can help fix this. Each card on this list can rebuild credit.
Before enumerating the best unsecured credit card lenders, it must be defined what unsecured credit cards are. Unsecured credit cards man the card issuers have confidence in you to make the payment based on your credit history. Because of this, you do not have to put down cash security deposit. On the other hand, you have to establish credit so you can qualify. Unsecured cards are also harder to apply for and people with poor credit end up with higher interest rates and additional fees.
Credit One Bank Unsecured Platinum Visa
This is the top choice for unsecured credit card. It offers easy and convenient ways in rebuilding credit, including lots of perks. It is easy to sign up because of the few upfront fees. There is free pre-qualification and no security deposit. The annual fee is $99. Card members enjoy benefits such as cash back rewards on selected purchases, account alerts through text or email, free monthly credit score updates, fraud protection to name a few. It makes it easy to manage your credit card and your account and also improve your credit score and earn rewards at the same Time.
Indigo Platinum Mastercard
For those who want to keep things simple when they rebuild their credit, this is the ideal unsecured card. It offers straightforward opportunities that meet the user's everyday needs while re-establishing credit. This unsecured card forgives past bankruptcy and applications can be pre-qualified in only a matter of minutes. Card members can also monitor their accounts through mobile banking or online. This card can be used to build positive credit and keep credit utilization low. Soon enough, credit will improve in no time.
Milestone Gold MasterCard
This is the ideal unsecured card for those who have been recently bankrupt. Like other cards, you can pre-qualify instantaneously and not hurt your credit score. There is also no security deposit. Card members also benefit from extended warranty coverage, identity theft resolution, fraud and price protection and free online access so they can manage their account easily.
Total Visa Unsecured Credit Card
This is ideal for those who wish to take disciplined approach to their credit. They just have to overlook a couple of flaws with this card. For example, this card has processing fees, higher interest rates and to top it off, monthly servicing fees. The upside is that there is a credit limit of $300, therefore, making it easy to pay for the balance in full and on time every month. One thing that must be remembered is that smaller credit limits must be maintained to a low balance. By keeping the credit utilization low, the credit score can be boosted.

11+ Group
Following Promotion Sunday in July, the young people of our congregation leave Junior Church and join the 11+ Group at St Paul's.
The vision of the group is to enable young members of our church family to continue their Christian journey in an age appropriate and engaging manner. After spending the initial part of worship on Sunday mornings with the whole congregation the 11+ Group meet in the Centenary Rooms. We study the same readings from scripture as the main church, which we then discuss together and have the opportunity to relate the lessons to the lives of young people to make God's Word directly relevant to them and help them shape their values around it.
We have a lot fun, regularly holding team quizzes based on the bible and providing a forum for young people to be able to raise topics relating to Christianity and share with each other. We also take part in Worship, contribute to social events in the church and fund raising.

Maybe you saw the article in the Livingston Daily on February 19th, 2015 about Livingston County being the wealthiest county in Michigan. To many it was not surprising, but to many people they were like --- "really, where is that wealth??!" It was interesting to read the research from 24/7 Wall Street, a website that publishes financial news and opinion content. They looked at the estimated median annual household income over five years, and Livingston County was found to be the wealthiest in Michigan. We have a median household income of $72,359. We also have 4.8% of households over $200,000 in income.
Comments on the article were amusing. Some were very proud of the label "Wealthiest County in Michigan". Some were a little upset that Livingston County was found to be the wealthiest county in Michigan, they even started refuting the data and discussing whether it was per capita since their county has a much greater population.
Here's the problem with all of this. As soon as you label Livingston County as the Wealthiest County in Michigan many people turn their head off as it relates to giving. Does the wealthiest county really have people that need help? Someone must already be taking care of them, right?
Pastor Brian Tweedie, of Cornerstone EPC, sees "lots of hidden poverty based on the number of people Cornerstone helps, and those that come for help." And Pastor Don Weatherup, of Arise Church, routinely sees "that there are plenty of circumstances that can quickly turn the tide of an individual's financial security. Some examples include divorce, job loss, prolonged illness, (and) death of a wage earner, just to name a few."
Lots of people need help for a variety of reasons, and Love in the Name of Christ of the Greater Livingston Area (Love INC) helps in a special way. We work with more than 60 partner churches to provide basic needs. Our dedicated volunteers help people struggling in Livingston County by verifying needs, building relationships, and determining how resources are distributed, as well as offering prayer. In fact in 2014 Love INC, through our partner churches, met 3,122 needs utilizing 6,790 volunteers who donated 16,851 hours.
If you find yourself wanting to help you can do that in a number of ways. Money always helps, so you can donate via our website. You can also volunteer; on the phones with those who need help, in the office assisting with administrative work, or as a dedicated prayer person. Contact us and we can give you an orientation tour to see if this is a good fit for you. We provide all the training.

The Show Opens
I was up early this morning in order to get to the gallery to finish painting out the mirror plates and put the labels on the walls. Once this was done, I whizzed back home to have something to eat with everyone, pick up the postcards and back to the gallery.
Everything looks really good and I am pleased with the whole exhibition. Thank you so much to Andy Dalton for your help with the hang and for your encouragement while I was making the work. http://www.andrew-dalton.com/
2 out of 3 of our kids came to see the show this afternoon; the third was stuck on the M62 for more than four hours, so we'll go again tomorrow so she can see it too.
Also off to Inspired by...gallery at the Moors National Parks Center, Danby tomorrow for the opening of their show: From What Has Been. So it will be a busy day looking at art again. http://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/visitor-centres/inspired-by-gallery
Thanks to Chris Thomas and his wife Pauline for dropping by today, I am just so glad I was there to see you both! Chris was a student of mine when I was teaching Art and Design Adult Education at Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke; he found me on facebook a while back and got in touch. Chris is currently studying for his MA in Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art and I am looking forward to meeting with him up there so he can show me round the galleries.
There are some nice messages in the gallery book and many people have wished me luck on facebook too, especially fellow members of Ryedale ArtWorks; thank you to everyone for that! I am stunned that my post on fb with one picture of the show has had 327 hits already.

Change of Editor for Archaeologia Aeliana
Richard Bailey has retired from editing our learned journal, Archaeologia Aeliana, after editing 16 volumes in his term of office, including two in one year! He has maintained the high standard of Archaeologia Aeliana, ensured that it has kept up with new developments in printing, publishing and editing. AA is now a peer-reviewed journal, which means that every paper is refereered before acceptance. This in turn ensures its wide acceptance as a major journal within the academic world.
Richard is not forsaking publication altogether. He continues with his work on the corpus of Viking sculpture and we wish him well with that project.
Our new editor is Humphrey Welfare. Humphrey is well known to readers of AA, having published two papers on the earthworks of Hadrian's Wall in recent years. He is a senior officer with English Heritage and its director on the Board of Hadrian's Wall Heritage Ltd. Humphrey knows the north well, having moved to Northumberland with his family when a teenager. He lived and worked in Newcastle when a member of the Royal Commission. We offer Humphrey our best wishes in his new appointment.

Also, I'll be hosting and Brian Evenson, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Michael Cisco, and Richard Bowes will be reading from Lovecraft Unbound at the Montauk Club in Brooklyn, Friday, January 15th. Books will be sold and there will be a tour afterward of this historic building....More details later.
I was going to be going to Maine Thursday for a long weekend, but instead because my dad fractured his hip Monday night and is having surgery tomorrow (Wed) morning, I'm flying down to Florida tomorrow for at least a week. Don't know how things will go as he's 93. I'll be online as time and interconnectivity allows.

Yeah, a day late, but there's a good reason. Isabelle just got back from London where she visited a bit and picked up Madeleine. Maddie is home until Thursday which is great! Hey, last night Maddie and I drank Scotch by a backyard bonfire.
So, does it bug you when people make grammatical errors and spelling mistakes on the internet? Do you tell people when they have made mistakes? I do, well, depending, I mean if it is a typo, no, but if someone spells definitely as 'definately' (man that even hurts to type) I tell them.
THE LCBO IS OUT OF PERNOD, how can I go on?
Isabelle saw some cool art in London, ON. I noted the art gallery there, Museum London, used to be called the London Regional Art Gallery, which led to the unfortunate acronym 'LRAG'. It was controversial when it was built because people are idiots.

In Other Words
I enjoy holidays, I just don't recall ever having been the one to stand in line and think about which items I can discreetly ditch near the checkout stand so that I might slip quietly into the express lane. I can't say that I'm fond of crowds. I have even less affection for waiting in line. I avoid The Day After Thanksgiving as though my life depended on it. I don't even like to leave my house. I make sure my milk won't expire on or before the Friday following Thanksgiving so I can avoid an unnecessary trip into the crazed community.
Ultimately, I was attempting to share my distaste for seasonal crowds.
No more. No less.

June 30, 2016, 12:39 pm
ESPN's Michael Wallace reported on Thursday that part of Pat Riley's pitch has been "an optimistic view" of Chris Bosh's (blood clots) return.
Bosh and the Heat "continue to work toward to the goal" of having him "available at the start of training camp." There are still qualifiers in this language but the fact that Riley is even going there suggests they believe he will be ready to go and that's great news for both Bosh and fans of basketball. It also creates a new wrinkle for the Heat to put them back into the upper echelon of teams from a roster standpoint, and that's helpful in free agent negotiations as one could imagine.
Fantasy News
April 24, 2019, 10:29 pmRicky Rubio - G - Utah Jazz
Ricky Rubio scored 17 points (7-of-15 shooting) to go with 11 assists, two rebounds and three steals in Wednesday's Game 5 loss in Houston.
Rubio turned it up a notch over his last two games, double-doubling in both, but his efforts not enough to extend the series past Game 5. The free-agent PG will now head into an off season where there will be questions abound about who the Jazz should pair with Donovan Mitchell for the long term.
April 24, 2019, 8:26 pmBlake Griffin - F - Detroit Pistons
Blake Griffin (left knee) underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday night.
Griffin's knee obviously dogged him during the final stretch of the regular season and throughout the Pistons' brief playoff run. The Pistons said that he isn't expected to miss any off season training and should be good to go for the start of the 2019-2020 season.

April 24, 2019, 6:54 pmClint Capela - C - Houston Rockets
According to head coach Mike D'Antoni, Clint Capela (illness) is feeling much better ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz.
Clint Capela has been struggling ever since he came down with this virus. He seems to be close to 100% according to his head coach. If Capela can get close to his season averages of 16.6 points on 64.8% shooting while grabbing 12.7 rebounds and blocking 1.5 shots per game, then the Jazz will have an even tougher to task to take down the Rockets on Wednesday in order to force a Game 6 back in Utah.

April 24, 2019, 3:24 pmJaMychal Green - F - Los Angeles Clippers
JaMychal Green will remain in the starting lineup in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Green logged 22 minutes in the same role in Game 4, though it's not surprising that the Clippers will stick with the same group considering Ivica Zubac's tough fit in this matchup and Montrezl Harrell's fit in his current role.

April 24, 2019, 2:11 pmNate Tibbets - Team - Trail Blazers
The Suns have been given permission to interview Blazers assistants Nate Tibbets and David Vanterpool for their vacant head coaching position.
The Cavs have already been connected to the duo from Portland, and Tibbets interviewed for the Hawks' gig last summer. The Suns reportedly fired Igor Kokoskov so they could make Philadelphia assistant Monty Williams their top target before the Lakers got too deep into talks, but Phoenix will be looking at multiple candidates. It's a nice roster to work with but we can't imagine anyone will be too eager to work with the team's ownership group.
Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter
April 24, 2019, 2:00 pmDraymond Green - F - Golden State Warriors
Draymond Green admitted that his right wrist has been hurt for "a while."
Green added that he got hit there in Game 4 and "it pissed it off" and said that he's going to play through any pain in the postseason. It's not like teams weren't sagging off Green on the perimeter already, but if his wrist continues to hamper him in any way we may see opponents get very aggressive in their defensive efforts on Golden State's other players. Green is going to have lots of open jumpers presented to him for the rest of the postseason.

April 24, 2019, 1:57 pmJarrett Allen - C - Brooklyn Nets
Jarrett Allen will work on extending his range to the 3-point line this summer.
Him and every other big man. Allen went 6-for-45 on 3-pointers this season, so he's got some work to do. He's a quality young player who can protect the rim, but Allen isn't quite strong enough to crash and bang with the league's true behemoths and not quite gifted enough offensively to be anything more than a threat on the roll. It's a great base from which to work, however, and it's good to know that Allen is going to be putting in the work to make himself more of a weapon as the Nets look to build on a nice campaign.

April 24, 2019, 1:55 pmMarcus Smart - G - Boston Celtics
On Wednesday Brad Stevens said that Marcus Smart (torn oblique) is "doing great."
That's nice, but it's not much of an update. Smart was able to do some light shooting and treadmill work yesterday but we're still not expecting to see him until the tail end of the second round at the earliest. His tenacity and perimeter defense will be missed dearly in Boston's matchup with the Bucks.

April 24, 2019, 1:48 pmKyle Lowry - G - Toronto Raptors
Kyle Lowry suffered a dislocated finger on his right hand in the first half of Tuesday's Game 5 but was able to pop it back in and return to the game.
Lowry swiped at the ball and ended up hitting Evan Fournier's leg with his hand, which caused the injury The fact that he was able to return to the game, even in a blowout, bodes well for his status for the second round. It may affect his shooting to some degree but Lowry has been playing facilitator more often anyway, and we wouldn't expect his performance to suffer. After a scoreless Game 1, Lowry was all over the floor for the Raptors as they locked in and simply outclassed Orlando.

April 24, 2019, 11:50 amJeff Hornacek - Team - Sacramento Kings
Sam Amick of the Athletic is reporting that former Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek had an interview with the Kings for the lead assistant coach job.
Sacramento has already hired Luke Walton to be their new coach but the news about the sexual assault allegations he faces might put his status in danger. Walton should be able to assemble his coaching staff once he is out of the woods but we should know more once the NBA concludes with their investigation of the matter.

A new low in highs:
Desperate heroin users in a few African cities have begun engaging in a practice that is so dangerous it is almost unthinkable: they deliberately inject themselves with another addict's blood, researchers say, in an effort to share the high or stave off the pangs of withdrawal.
The practice, called flashblood or sometimes flushblood, is not common, but has been reported in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on the island of Zanzibar and in Mombasa, Kenya.
It puts users at the highest possible risk of contracting AIDS and hepatitis.

Further thoughts about career goals and things of that nature.
I woke up this morning a little more settled in my thinking. This often happens. "Sleep on it" is usually the best advice when anything disturbs or upsets me, or I'm thinking about it TOO hard, which is the case with this stuff.
Branding is a marketing term. What I've seen of it (all online, I have not taken any marketing courses, though I have come to the conclusion that I should) defines branding as making a name for yourself with a very small, specific range of ideas as your flagship. It doesn't restrict you or your work, just narrows down what you represent to a small and memorable presenting image. Like narrowing down an entire company philosophy and product range into a slogan, preferably catchy. More, like narrowing down your entire novel into the ten-second pitch or tagline. Preferably catchy.
I saw a form to fill out that asks you to condense what you represent as an author into three data points, three things that most or all of your fiction has to say, easy to remember. Then you're supposed to have everything you publicly say or do feed back to those ideas. It isn't to limit your work to those ideas, it's to link your name with those ideas in the minds of your audience, so that they will think of you often and be really clear about who you are.
I also saw a recommendation that you create a public persona. Sort of the same thing, but about your personal appearances and public statements, not about your fiction. I think this might have the benefit, too, of making a shy person (like yours truly and probably most writers, who are in 'the most solitary profession on earth' not by chance) have a sort of role they can play. Another persona, who can take over when the real person inside is too shy to say anything. For example, suppose your name is Jane Rogers and your pen name is Alisa Ravengarden (ick). When someone slings an unexpected question at Jane on a convention panel, she takes a second to think, what would Alisa say to this question? If she's honed Alisa as well as her other characters, she knows what Alisa's answer will be, and use it.
These might be useful concepts. More next time, no doubt—this stuff is very much on my mind just now.

Bentonite clay doesn't cause internal bleeding, but it can cause constipation if used for too long a period of time. Psyllium husk can cause of internal bleeding.
Hope, since you've been on the forum for over a month, I would assume that you had already started the treatment, and if so, the bentonite clay is used only during the initial cleanse and shouldn't be used for longer than a few days.

The judge who oversaw the trial of Casey Anthony, a woman who stood accused of murdering her own 2-year-old daughter Caylee, has suggested in recent comments that Anthony accidentally killed the girl in an attempt at quieting her.
Anthony, who was thrust into the public spotlight when she was charged with first-degree murder after the disappearance of her Caylee in 2008, was acquitted of the crime in a trial by jury on July 5, 2011. But in a phone interview on Wednesday, former Circuit Judge Belvin Perry Jr. said that while he found no fault in the verdict of the case, evidence had shown Anthony had researched the use of chloroform as a sedative online.
Prosecutors had accused Anthony of using chloroform on Caylee before suffocating her by putting duct tape over her mouth. Noting that surgeons had once used chloroform as anesthetic, Perry suggested an alternative explanation for Caylee's death — perhaps Anthony had meant to use chloroform to quiet the child down, but overdosed her and accidentally killed her instead.
"There was a possibility that she may have utilized that to keep the baby quiet … and just used too much of it, and the baby died," said Perry.
Had jurors been led to that conclusion, Perry speculated, Anthony might have been convicted of second-degree murder or manslaughter. But in the end, Perry emphasized, such claims should be taken as speculation — not fact.
"That's just one of many theories as to how this beautiful young lady [Caylee] tragically met her death," Perry said. "As I've expressed, the only person that really knows what happened was Casey."

For homeowners who want to be fully prepared when a storm hits, there's no safer or more foolproof way to keep a house safe and protected than through a home backup generator. If your home has to deal with lots of blackouts, bad weather, and powerful storms throughout the year, a generator could save you a ton of money in damage and a lot of peace of mind. If you're thinking about purchasing a generator for your house, you'll need to do your research first. From learning about the basics of wattage, capabilities, and features like manual transfer switches, to figure out the most cost-effective and safe option for your home structure, there are a ton of details to take into account. If you're prepared to buy an emergency backup generator for your home, here are a few key details to consider before you purchase.
Search by Size
The type of machine you invest in will have a lot to do with the type, frequency, and damage capacity of the weather you're dealing with on a yearly basis. If you're worried about the odd blackout or storm, choosing a smaller portable machine might be the best choice. You can store it outdoors, fire it up when you need it and you won't have to worry a ton about upkeep or frying all the other appliances in your home by eating up all the wattage with the one machine. However, if storms are a major concern, choosing a stationary option could be the wiser move. While these machines are more expensive and often require acomplicated installation, they can run on up to 20,000 watts and keep your home's power going through the toughest of storms. If you don't mind putting a lot of money and time into your machine, you'll be satisfied with the payoff of a larger, more comprehensive generator for your home's protection.
Search by Wattage
Size and wattage often go together in a generator. While a smaller portable machine can range from about 5,000 to 8,500 watts, a larger stationary machine can go up to 20,000 watts. Again, choosing the right model for your home will have a lot to do with what your needs are. If you're worried about losing data or security during a blackout that lasts a few hours, a portable machine will be great for your needs. But if you're looking at major storms and power outages that last for days on end, you'll need something a bit more serious. Before buying, take the time to add up all the combined wattage used by appliances in your home to get a sense of what your circuit board can take. Afterward, speak with a professional about the best and most low-risk wattage level you can find in a generator.
Assess Safety Features
A generator is a huge help when it comes to protecting your home during a storm. However, if you don't choose wisely, it can also end up being a liability. Many older models and smaller portable generators run on gas, which is potentially dangerous to store and can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning if kept in a confined space like a small garage. Even if you don't need a stationary generator and don't feel comfortable justifying the cost of a newer machine, try to find a portable generator that runs on propane rather than gas to maximize safety and reduce risk.
Consider Your Budget
A homeowner's budgetary needs always play an important part in decisions of this kind. Without ignoring your basic needs and always keeping safety in mind, think about how much you're actually willing to spend on the total venture. That means the purchase of the machine, installation, upkeep, energy, and an additional amount for installing the transfer switch and purchasing any additional features like interlock kits. Budget generously and always plan on spending more than you expect in order to keep ahead of costs.
Plan for Upkeep
No matter what generator you decide to buy, know that you'll have to do the work of keeping it safe and in working condition through the year, no matter how often you end up actually using it. Some machines are self-checking and will alert you to any basic issues. With others, you'll have to do manual checks for low oil, low fuel, and any other issues that might crop up. As with any other machine, having a generator takes a lot of maintenance, and knowing this will help guide you toward choosing the best model for your needs.

Perhaps no reader of the world's literature would deny that letters and
life had been indefinitely enriched by Alfred Tennyson.
How ideas affect life when once they have become participants therein
is the bar at which all ideas must stand for judgment. Carbonic-acid
gas enters the lungs, fills them, and blows out the lamp of life.
Common air enters the lungs, crimsons the blood, exhilarates the
spirit, gives elasticity to step and thought and pulse; is health, and
pours oil into the lamp of life whereby the flame burns higher, like
watch-fires on evening hills. One air brought death; one air brought
more abundant life. What do ideas effect, and how do they affect him
who entertains them is the final question and the final test. Now, our
earth is always trying to grow men. Not harvests nor flowers nor
forests, but man, is what the earth is proudest of. On transparent
June days, standing upon the cliffs of the Isle of Man, I have seen the
golden wheatfields on the hills of Wales; but heaven, looking earth's
way, is oblivious to our tossing plumes of corn or tawny billows of the
fields of wheat. Heaven's concern is in our crop of manhood; and ships
that ply between the shores of earth and shores of heaven are never
laden with gold or silver ingots, as Spanish galleons were, nor with
glancing silks nor burning gems, but are forever freighted with elect
spirits. Men and women are the commodity earth grows that heaven wants.
What helps the growth of man is good; what hurts the growth of man is
bad. When one has become a shadow, lost to human eyes, test him with
this acid. Did he do good? If he did evil, let his name perish; if he
did good, let his name blaze in the galaxy among the inextinguishable
stars. If he has made the growth of manhood easier and its method more
apparent; if he has opened eyes to see the best, and spurred men to
attempt the best they saw; if he has enamored them of virtue as
aforetime they were enamored of vice,—trust me, that man was good. He
will endure, and be passed from age to age, like rare traditions
through centuries, till time shall die. Submit Alfred Tennyson to this
test. Is virtue more apparent, more lovely, and of more luxuriant
growth, like tropic forests, because of him? But one answer is
possible, and that answer is, "King Arthur." To our moral riches,
Victor Hugo added "Jean Valjean;" Dickens, "Sidney Carton;" Thackeray,
"Colonel Newcome;" Browning, "Caponsacchi;" Tennyson, "King Arthur,"
who stands and will stand as Tennyson's vision of manhood at its prime.
The theme of this paper, then, is "King Arthur," being a philosophy of
manhood as outlined by Alfred Tennyson; and the purpose of this essay
is to bring into vital relation to King Arthur the totality of argument
for manhood which Tennyson has constructed in his cycle of poems, thus
taking into our field of vision, not simply "The Idyls of the King,"
adequate as they may be, but, in addition, "Enoch Arden," "Ulysses,"
"The Vision of Sin," "The Palace of Art," "Maud," "Columbus," "Locksley
Hall," "The Lotos-Eaters," and "In Memoriam," and all poems which, by
negation or affirmation, may suggest or enforce a thought regarding the
furnishing of the soul.
In those idyls clustering about King Arthur, Tennyson has patently
purposed painting the figure of a perfect man. How well he has
executed his design depends on himself much, on the beholder much.
Onlookers differ in opinion. Painters have their clientage. Poets are
not omniscient; neither are we, a thing we are prone to forget. For
myself, I confess not to see with those who deride the king, nor yet
with those who think him statuesque, as if shaped, not out of flesh,
but out of marble. He is not incredible, nor is he a shadow, stalking
gaunt and battle-clad across the crags that fringe the Cornish sea.
Not a few among us approximate perfection in character as blameless as
Arthur's. I myself profess to have seen a King Arthur, and to have
held high converse with him through many years. Whiteness of life is
not an episode foreign to biography. There are many lives running
white toward heaven as I have seen a path across the moonlit sea. Not
to be credulous is well; not to be incredulous is better, when heavenly
visions and heavenly incarnations are the theme. This is affirmed,
that King Arthur is not more unreal than others Tennyson delineates.
His art lacks the power to flood his people's veins with blood to
plethora, with such bounding vitality as marks Shakespeare's creations.
They lack, sometimes, color on the cheek and lip and sunlight in the
eyes. His characters are as if seen in mist. Our failing is, we give
credence to fleshly instinct and lust and failure in ideal more readily
than to wise manliness and stalwart and heroic worth. But Enoch Arden
is no dream. Arthur is no myth. I know a man whose heart is as pure,
whose conduct as above reproach, and whose words are as big with
charity, and thoughts as foreign to hypocrisy, as Arthur's were; for
Arthur is not dead. They did not dream who said, "Arthur returns." He
hides his name, lest he become spectacular, a raree-show, for mobs to
follow and shout hoarse about; but he is here. I met him yesterday;
and to-morrow I shall walk with him by the river, where the stream
makes music, and the trees sing in minors, and the shadows darken on
the grass.
What, then, is this Arthur's character? Looking at him as he sits
astride his steed, yonder at Camelot, with his visor up, he is seen
manhood at its prime. A ruddy face, with beard of gold, holding the
sun as harvests do. Tourneys done, the king is turned battleward,
where he is to die; and a man's picture comes to have special value at
his death. When the wounded king is borne by Bedivere across the
echoing crags toward the black funeral barge, we see him again, full in
the face, and remember him always.
King Arthur was a self-made man. His birth was held to be uncertain.
"Is he Uther's son?" was on many a lip. So men yet sometimes hold to
some poor question of ancestry when worth, evident as light, fronts
them. Some there are who live in so narrow a mood as to ask always
"Where?" and never "What?" when the latter is God's unvarying method of
estimation. This quest for ancestry for Arthur is of service to us as
showing he had not empire ready to his hand. His kingdom did not make
him; he made his kingdom; or, to give the entire history, he made
himself and his kingdom. And this is oft-repeated history. When a man
makes a kingdom, he first made himself. He does two things. Might
goes not single, loves not solitude, but makes itself company. Milton
made himself before he made the Bible epic of the world. He wrought
himself and his complex history into his Iliad of heavenly battle.
Souls have, in a true sense, a beaten path to tread. There is a
highway worn to ruts and dust by travel of the great men's feet. And
Arthur had much company, if he knew it not. Such men seem alone,
though if they saw all their companionships they would know they walked
on in a goodly company and great. Greatness has many fellowships, as
stars have; and stars have fellowship of mountains and woods, and
kindred stars, and waters where star-shadows lie, and oceans where
galaxies tumble like defeated angels. All greatness is self-made.
Names are bequeathed us, so much is borrowed. Character and value are
self-made. Gold has intrinsic worth. Man has not, but makes his worth
by the day's labor of his hands.
This provision is God's excellent antidote to dissatisfaction with
one's estate. If worth could be handed down, like name or fortune, one
might as well be a pasture-field, to pass from hand to hand as chattel,
instead of man. Far otherwise God's plan. Each spirit works out, and
must work out, his own destiny. Destinies are not ready-made but
hand-made. King Arthur's fame is not dependent on his ancestry, but on
himself. Ancestry we can not control; self we can. Tennyson, though
part of a hereditary system, sees with perfect clearness how ancestry
accounts for no man, and how every man must make his own room in the
world; how nobility depends, not on a family's past, but on the
individual's present; how wealth and service are the credentials of
character society will accept, and the only credentials. This view is
scarcely English, but is fully American. And Tennyson was not
sympathetic with America. Democracies possessed not the flavor of the
fruit he loved. When, however, the biography of greatness is to be
written, who writes the story, if he write it truly, must tell a story
of democracy. Tennyson is unconscious democrat when he writes Arthur's
biography, because as poet he saw. His intuitions led him. He spoke,
not as a lover of a certain social and political system, but as a
discerner of spirits. The poet is not his best as a planned
philosophizer; for in that role he becomes self-conscious; but is at
his best when the wheel of his burning spirit, revolving as the planets
do, throws off sparks or streams of fire. To the accuracy of this
observation witness both Browning and Tennyson. When they were
"possessed," as the Delphic oracle would say, they marched toward truth
like an invincible troop. Truth seemed the missing half of their own
sphere, toward which, by a subtle and lordly gravitation, they swung.
When Tennyson's instincts speak, he is democrat; when his reason and
his prejudice (for he was surcharged with both) speak, he is hot
aristocrat. When he is biographer for royal Arthur, his instinct
speaks, and his conviction holds that character and deeds do and shall
count for more than blood; and this is no isolated idea advanced
touching Arthur, but is prevalent throughout his verse. In "Lady Clara
Vere de Vere," his heart speaks, full of eagerness, saying:
"Howe'er it be, it seems to me,
'T is only noble to be good.
Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood."
Nor is the Laureate's subsequent acceptance of the peerage a retraction
of these earlier sentiments; for he did but accept the ribbon of an
order which was part of the political system of his native land.
Himself was self-made. Who were the Tennysons? Who are the Tennysons?
He made a house. And in the list of lords, does any one think there is
a name whose device one would rather wear than that of Lord Tennyson?
Holland has this bit of verse, whose application is apparent:
"Heaven is not reached at a single bound;
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
And mount to its summit round by round."
Genius does the same. The stairs each generation climbed are rotten at
its death, so that no foot's weight can be borne upon them afterward.
Man builds his own stairway greatnessward. In the Idyl of the King,
entitled "Gareth and Lynette," is application of this thought of
manhood above title or name or blood. Worth, the main thing, is the
theme of the idyl.
Hear Gareth call, like voice of trumpets,
"Let be my name; until I make my name
My deeds will speak."
He seemed, and was not, a kitchen knave. He seemed not, and he was, a
knight of valor and of purity and might, of purpose and of succor.
Silly Lynette might rain her superficial insults on him like a winter's
sleet—this hindered not his service. He knew to wait, and dare, and
do. His fame was in him. A great life bears not its honors on its
back, as mountains do their pines, but in his heart, as women do their
love. In Tennyson's concept of manhood, worth counts, not rank. To
this argument, words from "In Memoriam" are a contribution:
"As some divinely-gifted man,
Whose life in low estate began
And on a simple village green;
Who breaks his birth's invidious bar,
And grasps the skirts of happy chance,
And breasts the blows of circumstance,
And grapples with his evil star;
Who makes by force his merit known,
And lives to clutch the golden keys,
To mold a mighty State's decrees,
And shape the whisper of the throne;
And moving on from high to higher,
Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope
The pillar of a people's hope,
The center of a world's desire."
Such words seem as if fallen from the lips of Lincoln in a dream.
"Aylmer's Field" is a protest, written in grief and tears and blood
against the iniquity of ancestry as divorced from the pure course of
nobler love. God made of one blood all kindreds of the earth, and
means to mix this blood till time shall die. Hearts give scant heed to
heraldry. Life is wider than a baron's field. Arthur Hallam, whose
epitaph is the sweetest ever written, and bears title of "In
Memoriam,"—Arthur Hallam, so greatly loved and missed, was never
nobleman in genealogy, but was full prince in youth and ideality and
purity and genius and promise, worth more than all the ancestries of
buried kings. More: Tennyson was as much self-made as King Arthur. He
made a house which rose to the sound of poet's lute, rehearsing, in our
days, the story of Orpheus in the remote yesterdays. So myths come to
be history. And who would not rather be author of "The Lotos-Eaters,"
and "Oenone," and "Ulysses," and "Enoch Arden," and "In Memoriam" than
to have been possessed, with Sir Aylmer Aylmer, of
"Spacious hall,
Hung with a hundred shields, the family tree
Sprung from the midriff of a prostrate king?"
King Arthur's knights were novi viri. Whence came Lancelot and
Geraint and Sir Percivale? And how came they, save as
"Rising on their dead selves
To higher things?"
Arthur, at whose back march all the legions of Tennyson's poetry
celebrative of manhood,—Arthur asserts the nobleness of manhood,
irrespective of the accidents of wealth or birth. Many scenes in
Tennyson are taken from the cottage. "The May Queen," "The Gardener's
Daughter," "The Grandmother," "Rizpah," and, above all, "Enoch Arden,"
are poems showing how poetry dwells in the hearts of common folks. The
verse of books they may not know; the verse of sentiment they are at
home with. Birth is not a term in the proportion of worth; and I hold
Arthur one of the strongest voices of our century assertive of the
sufficiency of manhood. Self-made and greatly made was this king at
King Arthur was optimist. He expected good in men, was not suspicious.
"Interpreting others by his own pure heart," you interject, "He was
duped." The harlot Vivien called him fool, and despised him; but she
was fallen, shameful, treacherous, and, what was worse, so fallen as
not to see the beauty in untarnished manhood, which is the last sign of
turpitude. Many bad men have still left an honest admiration for a
goodness themselves are alien to. Vivien was so lost as that goodness,
manhood, knightliness, sweet and tall as mountain pines, made no appeal
to her. Filth is dearer to some than mountain air. She was such. A
fallen woman, given over to her fall, is horrible in depravity. Merlin
saw that her estimate of Arthur was the measure of herself. Beatrix
Esmond did not appreciate Henry Esmond; for the Pretender was her
measure of soul. Though to her praise be it said that, in her old age,
Esmond dead, she thought of him as women think of Christ. Arthur
believed in men, supposing them to be transcripts of himself; and in so
doing in details, he erred. His philosophy of goodness was erroneous;
for he held to the theory of goodness by environment, fencing knights
and ladies about with his own fine honor and chastity, supposing pure
environment would make them pure, forgetting how God's kingdom is
always within. Environment is not gifted to make men good. Arthur
believed men pure, nor was he wholly wrong. The men about him gave the
lie to his expectation; but these moral ragamuffins did not invalidate
the king's faith. The road taken was not the world. Lancelot and
Guinevere and Gawain and Modred, false? False! Pelleas, seeing
Ettarre lustful and untrue, digging rowels into his steed and crying,
"False! false!" was not wise as Arthur. The optimist is right. Some
were false, 't is true; but others were true as crystal streams, that
all night long give back the heavens star for star. There were and are
true men and women. Our neighborhood, if so be it is foul, is not the
earth. Enid, and Elaine, and Sir Galahad, and Sir Percivale, and
Gareth, and others not designated, were pure. Snows on city streets
are stained with soot and earth; snows on the mountains are as white as
woven of the beams of noon. King Arthur, expecting the better of the
world, in so doing followed the example of his Savior, Christ, who was
most surely optimist. King Arthur, in his midnight hour, when knight
and wife and Lancelot deserted him, when his "vast pity almost made him
die," still kept the lamp of hope aflame and sheltered from the wind,
lest it flame, flare, and die. His fool still loved him and clasped
his feet; and bold Sir Bedivere staid with him through the thunder
shock of that last battle in the west. Not all were false. Some
friends abide. Though his application was not always wise, his
attitude was justified. Having done his part, he had not been
betrayed; for he was still victor. Lancelot and Guinevere were
defeated, ruined, as were Gawain and Ettarre, who, as they wake, find
across their naked throats the bare sword of Pelleas; then Ettarre knew
what knight was knightly. Goodness wins in the long battle, though
supposed defeated in the petty frays, Tennyson makes his ideal man an
optimist. "Maud" is a study in pessimism. The lover's blood is
tainted with insanity. He raves, is suspicious, is at war with all
things and all men; rails at the social system, not from any broad
sympathy with better things, but from a strident selfishness, rasping
and self-proclamatory, lacking elevation, save as his love puts wings
beneath him for a moment and lifts him, as eagles billow up their
young; is weak, and tries to cover weakness up by ranting. We pity,
then despise him, then pity him once more, and in sheer charity think
him raving mad. Stand Maud's lover alongside King Arthur, and how
splendid does King Arthur look! The lover was pessimist and wrong;
Arthur was optimist and, in his temper, right. Though hacked at by the
careless or vicious swords of cumulating hatreds, underestimations,
selfishness, and lewdness of lesser and cruder souls, knowing, as he
did, how God is on goodness' side, knew, therefore, who is on God's
side keeps hope in good, believing better things. Those who, thinking
themselves shrewd, and are perennially suspicious, do really lack in
shrewdness, lacking depth. The far view is the serene view. Pelleas,
too, is a study in lost faith. He was near-sighted in his moral life,
and so, in losing faith in Ettarre, lost faith in womanhood, a
conclusion not justified from the premises; and you hear him in the
wild night, crying as beasts of the desert cry, and what he hisses as
you pass is, "I have no sword." Arthur kept his sword till time came
to give it back to the "arm clothed in white samite." He threw not his
sword away until his hand could hold it no longer. Hands and swords
must keep company while life and strength remain, and who breaks or
throws sword away from sheer despair has lost sight of duty, in so far
that our business is to do battle valiantly and constantly for
righteousness, and keep the sword at play in spite of dubious
circumstances. Battles are often on the point of being won when they
look on the point of being lost, as was the case with Pelleas, whose
hope died just at the hour when hope ought to have begun shouts
befitting triumph; for that night when he lay his naked sword across
Ettarre's naked neck, she, waking and finding whose sword was lying,
like a mad menace, on her breast, recovered her womanhood, loved the
knight, who came and went, and slew her not, as his right was, and
loved him to her death; while he, the cause of her reformation, swung
through the gloomy night with faith and courage lost. He should have
held his faith, however his trust in one had been shamed and sunk.
Faith in one snuffed out is not in logic to lose faith; for all are
more than one. Trust Arthur; he was right. Pessimism is no sane mood.
All history conspires to justify his attitude. Himself inspires
optimism in us, and the three queens wait for him, and the black
funeral barge that bears him, not to his funeral, but to some fair city
where there seems one voice, and that a voice of welcome to this king;
and besides all this, his name lights our nights till now, as if he
were some sun, pre-empting night as well as day. Has not his optimism
been justified a hundred-fold? Do those who view the present only,
think to see all the landscape where deeds reap victories? Time is so
essential in the propagandism of good. Time is the foe of evil, but
sworn ally of good. God owns the future.
King Arthur considered life a chance for service. Life is no
abstraction, no theoretical science; rather concrete, experimental.
Magician Merlin's motto, too. We may think or act, though this of
conduct. We may think or act, though this disjunctive is wrong, wholly
wrong. [Transcriber's note: Something seems to have gone wrong with
the typesetting of the previous three sentences. The first sentence
makes no sense, and the second two both start with the same seven
words.] There is no separation between act and thought in a wise
estimate. They are not enemies, but friends. We are to think and
act. We are, in a word, not to dream or do, but dream and do, the
dreaming being prelude to the doing. Who dreams not is metallic.
Dreams redeem deeds from being stereotyped, and make motions sinuous
and graceful as a bird's flight across the sky; and when they
impregnate conduct, deed becomes instinct with a melody thrilling and
sweet as a wood-thrush note. Arthur was no mystic. He did not dwell
apart from men; he was a part of men. "The Mystic" is an admirable
conception of the soul, living remote from society and action, seeing
our world as through a smoke. Mysticism has its truth and power. Many
of us bluster and do, and do not stand apart and dwell enough with the
"Always there stood before him, night and day,
The imperishable presences serene,
One mighty countenance of perfect calm,"
"Angels have talked with him and showed him thrones."
So much in him is needed to a soul hungry to be fortified for danger,
duty, manliness. Despise not a mystic's brooding, but recall that
brooding is not terminal; that he who broods alone has left life
wearying around him as he found it, while his need was to change the
circumambient air of thought and action into something better than it
was; and for such change he must associate him with the lives he fain
would help. Arthur brooded and dreamed, and saw the Christ, and then
conceived his worthiest service to be to interpret the What he heard
and Whom he saw to men; and in pursuance of such purpose he lived with
knights, ladies, soldiers, and countrymen. Him they saw and knew.
"St. Simeon Stylites" is an application of another side of the same
thought. Heroism is in this pillar saint, but a mistaken heroism. He
"A sign betwixt the meadow and the cloud."
But to what purpose? Hear him call,
"I smote them with the cross,"
and feel assured from such a word that he who spoke, had he been where
the battle raged, had left his stroke on many a shield; for his words
have the crash of a Crusader's ax. What a loss it was to men that St.
Simeon came not down from his pillar, clothed himself, made himself
clean and wholesome, instead of filthy and revolting, and dwelt with
people for whom Christ died. A religious recluse is a religious
ignoramus, since he does not know that the one-syllable word in the
vocabulary of Christ is, "Be of use." The problem of living, as Arthur
saw vividly, was not how to get yourself through the world unhurt, but
how to do the most for some one besides yourself while you are in the
world; and this attitude is otherness, altruism. Nurture strength to
use. Pass your might on. Knighthood was to serve everybody else
first, after the fashion of the Founder of knighthood, even Christ,
"who came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister." King Arthur
served. Play battles stung him not to prowess, but, as Lancelot saw,
in the actual battle, the hero was not Lancelot, but Arthur. May be a
too deep seriousness was in him. I think it probable. He had been
more masterful in wielding men had he been colored more by laughter and
jest. We must not take ourselves, nor yet the world, with too
continuous seriousness. There are intervals between battles when
warriors may rest, and intervals in the stress of deeds and sorrow
where room is given for the caress and wholesome jest. That
arch-jester, Jack Falstaff, had much reason with him. We like him,
despite himself, and despite ourselves, because there was in him such
comradery. Though he was boisterous, yet was he jovial. All
characters, save Christ, have limitations. Arthur had his. Lack of
sprightliness was his mistake and lack. But the work to be done fills
him with might unapproachable, so that,
"Like fire, he meets the foe,
And strikes him dead for thine and thee."
He is no play soldier, and foemen mark his sword as a thing to fear. A
mutilated herdsman, rushing into Caerlaen, and shaking bloody story
from his hideous wounds, which, Arthur hearing, though a tourneyment
would blow its bugles on the plain erelong, forgets the coming joust,
remembering only a wrong to be avenged, and evil-doers to be punished
or destroyed, so they may no longer be a noxious presence in the land,
and goes, and at tourney's close comes back, through the dark night,
wet with rain; but he has cleansed the hostile land of villains on that
day. In human nature is a bias to escape the world, to get out of the
turmoil, to seek cloisters of quiet, which bias "The Holy Grail"
attacks. Arthur was no friend to the pursuit of the grail; not that he
loves not, with a passion white as sun's flame, the good and pure, but
that he has sagacity to see such quest will scatter the round table and
its fellowship, and would dispeople his forces, whose presence makes
for peace and sovereignty in all his realm and compels the sovereignty
of law. Him, their king, these errant knights heeded not, so enticing
and noble seemed the warfare they espoused, and thought their sovereign
cold and calculating, while, in fact, he knew them for visionaries. He
was right. Without them he was bankrupt in strength to compel social
betterment. The visionary, in so far as he is simply visionary, is foe
to progress; for progress comes by battle and by association in
affairs, and he who would be helper to the better life of man must mix
with the currents of his time. Snowdrifts in the mountains and on the
northern slopes that hold snows in their shadows for the summer's use;
and dark mountain meadows, where fogs and rains soak every particle of
sod, and waters percolate through the spongy root and soil to form
bubbling streams; and the pines, whose shadows make a cool retreat
where streams may not be drained dry by the sun; the silver threads of
tributary brooks; the sponge of mountain mosses, which squeezes its cup
of water into a larger laver,—all these seem remote from the broad
river on whose flood merchants' fleets are slumbering, nor seem
participants with these floodgates to the sea; yet are they adjuncts,
though so far removed, and pay their tribute to the flood.
Their service was as pronounced and valuable as if they had been huge
as Orontes. There is an absence which is presence, and there is a
presence which is absence; and what is asked of all men, near or far,
is that they be helpers to the general good. They must not, by intent
or mistake, escape their share of the public burden.
A poet seems apart, and is not, but is to be esteemed a portion of this
world's most turbulent life. To intend to have a share in this world's
business is important. To shun the taking up your load when need is,
is to be coward when your honor bids you be courageous. This means, be
a citizen, neglect no office in that worthy relation; be not wandering
knights, pursuing fire-flies, supposing them to be stars; but be as
Arthur, who found the Holy Grail, and drained its sacramental wine in
truest fashion, in "staying by the stuff;" in being statesman, soldier,
defender of the weak, reformer, liver of a clean life in public place,
builder of a State, negotiator of schemes which make for the diminution
of earth's ills and increase of earth's fairer provinces. Edward the
Confessor was a monk, wearing a king's crown and refusing to discharge
a king's offices, and thought himself a saint by such omission, when
what God and the realm wanted and needed was a man to rule and suffer
for the common weal. Arthur was not a thing "enskied and sainted;"
rather a wholesome man, whose duty lay in working for men. Sir
Percivale became a monk; other knights returned no mote, thus spilling
the best blood of the table round. Meantime the king's enemies
multiplied, and these visionaries decimated the ranks of opposition to
the wrong; but come what would, King Arthur served. An appeal to him
for help found answer, though treasons plotted at his back. As to his
last battle, though his heart was breaking, he marched nor paused,
perceiving, so long as he was king, he must uphold the order of the
State. He was no dilettante. Great service called him, and he thought
he heard the voice of God. Duty is a ponderous word in Arthur's
lexicon. In "Lucretius," Tennyson shows the moral apathy of
materialism by letting us look on at a suicidal death, and hear the
cry, half-rage and half-despair, "What is duty?" and in that fated cry,
atheism has run its course. Here it empties into its dead sea, and
materialism finds its only possible outcome. This materialist of long
ago is the mouthpiece for his fraters in these last days. There is one
speech, and that a speech of dull despair, for those who say there is
no God; and for them who have no God, there is no duty, for duty is
born of hold on God. King Arthur, sure of God, therefore never asking,
"What is duty?" but in its stead urges the nobler query, "Where is
duty?" and so infused himself into the blood of empire; aye, and more,
into the spiritual blood of uncalendared centuries.
And King Arthur was pure. Vice is so often glorified and offers such
chromo tints to the eye as that many superficial folks think virtue
tame and vice exhilarating. Here lies the difficulty. They look on
those parts which are contiguous to vice, but are really not parts of
it. In the self of vice is nothing attractive. Lying, lust, envy,
hate, debauchery,—which of these is not tainted? Penuriousness is
vice unadorned, and who thinks it fair? Like Spenser's "false Duessa,"
it is revolting. Drunkenness, bestiality, spleen,—what roseate views
shall you take of these? Who admires Caliban? And Caliban is vice,
standing in its naked vileness and vulgarity. Man, meant for manhood,
self-reduced to brutehood,—that is drunkenness. In an era when Dumas
by fascinating fictions was making vice ingratiating, Tennyson was
rendering virtue magnificent. Can any person of just judgment rise
from reading "Idyls of the King" without feeling a repugnance toward
vice, like a nausea, and a magnetism in virtue? An admiration for
Arthur becomes intense. The poet draws no moral from his parable:
doing what is better, he puts morals into one's blood. While never
railing at Guinivere, he makes us ashamed of her and for her, and does
the same with Lancelot. He makes virtue eloquent. King Arthur is
neither drunkard nor libertine, therein contradicting the pet theories
of many people's heroes. He loves cleanness and is clean. He demands
in man a purity equal to woman's; setting up one standard of mortals
and not two. The George Fourth style of king, happily, Arthur is not;
for George was a shame to England and to men at large, while Arthur is
a glory, burning on above the cliffs of Wales, like some brave sunrise
whose colors never fade. To men and women, he is one law of virtue and
one law of love. When the years have spent their strength, then vice
shows itself hideous vice. The glamour vanished, no one can love or
plead for wickedness. Virtue is wholly different; for to it the ages
burn incense each year, rendering its loveliness more apparent and
bountiful. Virtue grows in beauty, like some dear face we love.
Heroism is virtue; manliness is virtue; devotion is virtue. Sum up
those remembered deeds of which the centuries speak, and you will find
them noble, virtuous. Seen as it is, and with the light of history on
its face, vice is uncomely as a harlot's painted face. King Arthur is
virile and he is noble, engaging and fascinating us like a romance
written by a master, full of persuasive sweetness and enduring help.
Besides, King Arthur was a religious man. This is the transparent
explanation of his career. He is an attempted incarnation of the
precepts and love of Christ. This long-vanished prince knew that if a
king might but repeat the miracle of Jesus' life in his own history, he
would have achieved kingship indeed. "Mea vita vota" was Dempster's
motto,—a sentiment Arthur knew by heart. His life was owed to God,
and right manfully he paid his debt. Arthur exalted God in his heart
and court and on hard-fought field. So intense and vivid his sense of
God, he reminds us of the Puritan; but the Puritan touched to beatific
beauty by the interpretation of love God's Christ came to give.
Tennyson always made much of God, saw Him immanent in every hope of
human betterment, saying, as we remember and can not forget:
"Our little systems have their day—
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee;
And thou, O Lord, art more than they."
"The Idyls of the King" and "In Memoriam" might felicitously be called
treatises on theology written in verse. St. Augustine and Wesley were
not more certainly theologians than this poet Laureate. The rest and
help that come to men in prayer is burned into the soul in "Enoch
"And there he would have knelt, but that his knees
Were feeble, so that falling prone he dug
His fingers into the wet earth and prayed."
"He was not all unhappy. His resolve
Upbore him, and firm faith and evermore
Prayer from a living source within the will,
And beating up through all the bitter world,
Like fountains of sweet water in the sea,
Kept him a living soul."
And Arthur, dying, whispers:
"More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice
Rise, like a fountain, for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer,
Both for themselves and those that call them friend?
For so the whole round world is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God."
No wonder is there if King Arthur was upheld: such faith makes
impotence giant-strengthed. He does not tremble. The earth may know
perturbations, but not he. To tournament or battle, or to death, he
goes with smiling face. His trust upholds him. So good is faith. "In
Memoriam" is the biography of doubt and faith at war. The battle waxes
sore, but the day is God's. The battle ebbs to quiet. Calm after
tempest. Tennyson could not stay in doubt. 'T is not a goodly land.
If trepidation has white lip and cheek, 't is not forever. Living
through an age of doubt, Tennyson, so sensitive to every current of
thought as that he felt them all, and in that feeling and
interpretation and strife for mastery over the doubt that kills, made
his book, as Milton has it, "The precious life-blood of a master
spirit;" and ends with:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
For though from out our bourn of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face,
When I have cross'd the bar."
"In Memoriam" is thought, King Arthur is action; and action is antidote
for doubt. Charles Kingsley's advice,
"Do noble deeds, not dream them all day long,"
is always pertinent and reasonable. This is explanation of that
profound saying of Jesus, "If any man will do my will, he shall know of
the doctrine." Life is exegesis of Scripture. Who do God's will catch
sight of God's face, and their hearts are helped. Lowell's "Sir
Launfal" urges this same truth. He who, for weary and painful years,
had haunted the world, seeking the Holy Grail and finding not the thing
he sought, comes home discouraged to find in winter his castle had
forgotten him, and he was left a wreck of what he had been in his
better days; yet finds, in giving alms to a leprous beggar at his
castle gate to whom he had denied alms in the spirit of alms when he
set out to hunt the Holy Grail, that in so giving he found the Christ.
Action helps God into the heart. Doubts are, many of them, brain-born
and academical; and such, service helps to dispel. To Arthur, God was
vital fact. To Him he held as tenaciously as to his sword; and he was
comforted. All good things are included in religion, and all great
things. If men become martyrs, they become at the same time
functionaries in the palace of every worthy spirit. I suppose the
hunger for discovery and knowledge are nothing other than the soul's
hunger after God. He is the secret of great discontent. The soul
wants God, and on the way to Him are astronomies, and literatures, and
new-found hemispheres. Aspiration finds voice in Christianity.
"Columbus," a poem of resonant music, speaks aspiration. Him—
"Who pushed his prows into the setting sun,
And made West East, and sailed the dragon's mouth,
And came upon the mountain of the world,
And saw the rivers roll from paradise,"—
him, God-inspired as himself holds, saying:
"And more than once, in days
Of doubt and cloud and storm, when drowning hope
Sank all but out of sight, I heard His voice:
Be not cast down. I lead thee by the hand;
Fear not,—and I shall hear his voice again—
I know that He has led me all my life,
And I am not yet too old to work His will—
His voice again."
And King Arthur finds God helps him into all things worth while.
Bravery, determination, kindness, purity, magnanimity, safe faith in
God's supremacy,—all spring about him as he walks as flowers about a
path in summer-time. Nothing good was foreign to him.
Christianity is the one philosophy of manhood in whose harness are no
vulnerable parts. "The Palace of Art" presents the poet's perception
of the failure of culture. Ethics, not aesthetics, compel manhood; and
behind ethics, theology. God must live in life, if life shall put on
goodness as a royal robe.
And such a man as Arthur has passed into the enduring substance of this
world's best thought and purpose. We see him—not saw him. He is
never past, but ever present. We see him dying, and with Sir Bedivere,
who loved him, cry,
"Thy name and glory cling
To all high places, like a golden cloud,

Top 10 Privacy Issues for 2011
Social media and location-based technologies top the list of concerns.
If California State Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) has his way, the state will pass the first do-not-track legislation in the U.S. well before Congress gets around to it.
Speier's bill, introduced in February, would give the Federal Trade Commission the authority to create a federal do-not-track system. But the bill may face obstacles in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau, whose membership would be negatively impacted by mandated do-not-track systems, is not all that excited about the prospects. General Counsel Mike Zaneis told the Times:
The states have been quiet in this area for a couple of years. Leave it to California to jump in.
It won't be the first time California has taken the lead on privacy issues.

Big Ideas: Video Games According to David Cage
August 27, 2012 Page 4 of 5
Heavy Rain is a kind of game that had a really broad audience. How did women react to the game?
DC: Well, they reacted in a very surprising way: Each time I meet someone who played Heavy Rain, my next question, "Oh you played Heavy Rain. You played it with your wife." And the guy said, "How did you know?" "Just because 95 percent of the guys who played the game played it with their wives or their girlfriends."
And it was already the case on Fahrenheit, but even more on Heavy Rain, and it's very interesting, because the story gamers tell us is always the same. "Oh, my girlfriend is always upset because I'm playing these games, shooting at things all day. But when they saw me play Heavy Rain they said, 'Hey, wait a minute. There's a story, there are characters, and there's a female character, and wait a minute...'"
So they sat on the couch and they played together until the end, and fighting about what you should do or not do, and say this, say that, and do this... And so it became a collaborative experience with the husband, who's the gamer, and the wife, who never plays games, and has no interest whatsoever in games.
And that's something very interesting to me, because I think it shows something. It shows that it's possible to get women interested in games, and I'm not talking about with casual games or whatever. But in this type of experience, they can have interest, because they feel interest in the characters, and they feel an interest in the story, and they want to know what's going to happen next. So that's very interesting to me.
Have you spoken to any women who weren't in that situation, who weren't the girlfriend or the wife, who actually picked the game up themselves?
DC: Yeah, of course. And, yeah, this is really the story they told me. It's really like, "My husband is always playing games where they're shooting things all day and it really makes me mad, but this is the first time I was interested in the story, and we discussed." Many people argued, actually. Especially the scene where you need to take care of your son, in the beginning of the game.
Guys tend to give just pizza to the kid, if they give him something to eat, where the women say, "Wait a minute! What are you doing? Did he do his homework? Did you put him to bed? You can't leave him on the couch watching television like that!" It was almost an argument, which was really funny.
It was also funny to see -- I met some couples where the husband was not prepared to cut his finger for his son, and the woman on the couch was saying, "Hey, what are you doing? You can't leave like this!" The male is saying, "Well, wait a minute. There's probably another way." And the woman was really like, "No, you need to do it. If that's the only way to save your son, you need to do it." All sorts of discussions like this were very, very interesting. It was really fun to hear.
Heavy Rain
When you hear stuff like this, does it feed back into the way you want to design in the future? Creating more tension, creating more situations that different people would approach different ways?
DC: Yeah, definitely. The best part of the development of Heavy Rain was listening to people talking about just how they -- first of all, how they were passionate about their experience. How they thought it was their story that was different from their friend's story, and how emotional they could be about it, and how they remembered some specific scenes in a very strong and vivid way. That was something very intriguing and very interesting to me.
That was really my biggest expectation with Heavy Rain. Can I create an experience that will leave an imprint in people's minds? Or is it just something like you turn off your console and then you forget about it? And, no, Heavy Rain left an imprint in some people's minds, and that's really what I was looking for.
And is that something you do through choice, or something you do through theme, or what happens in the narrative?
DC: I think it's a mix of different things. First thing is to create identification. It's to create characters that you feel you want to understand, and you feel you can resonate with. So you feel empathy for them. So then you're on board. And once you're on board, and you have this empathy relationship, then you share what they feel. So when they laugh, you can laugh with them. When they're sad, you're sad with them. When they feel nervous, you're nervous with them. So it's a very interesting and a very important relationship that you establish, and that's how it works.
Do you want to build on the gameplay basis that you made with Heavy Rain, or do you feel that there's a need to do something different to shake up audience expectations?
DC: My biggest concern about Heavy Rain was not so much what people who played it thought, because the feedback has been consistently very positive about the game. It was much more about the people who didn't play Heavy Rain, what they thought of the game. Just the image they had of it.
And I'm always shocked to hear people say, "Oh, Heavy Rain, it's like Dragon's Lair, with prompts sometimes, and that's not really a game." Wait a minute. There are less cutscenes in Heavy Rain than in many first person shooters that I can see these days.
So the game was really not about cutscenes. It was not about watching. You were in the shoes of the character. You were making the choices, and you were telling the story through your actions, and not through prompts, or whatever. So some people just stay stuck outside the game, having an image, an idea of what it is that in my mind was wrong.
So this is definitely something as a game creator you want to address, because you want as many people to try your game and give it a chance. It's not a matter of money; it's not a matter of sales. It's a matter of, "Hey, we worked really hard to create something we believe in. Please try it, give it a chance!"
So we really worked on how we can find a way of making the entry barrier as low as possible. "Please come in." Open doors. "Come on and, see, look. It looks like something familiar. But once you're in, I can take your hand and show you stuff that will really surprise you." That's my challenge as a game designer: to deal with all those things, and stay true to the experience we want to make, of course.
