One personal deed,—one great effusion of some grand strength and will of man—may go far beyond law, custom, and all other conventionalisms—and seize upon the heart of the whole race, utterly defiant of authority—or argument against [them?] it.—

Do you suppose the world is finished, at any _^certain time—like a contract for paving a street?—Do you suppose because the American government has been formed, and public schools established, we have nothing more to do but take our ease, and make money, and let this grow sleep out the rest of the [time?]?

Fear delectation! delicatesse grace! Fear grace!— delicatesse!— al del-i-ca-teśs— These precede the (what is it in fruit when just ripe) terrible ripeness of nature—the decay of the ruggedness of a maen—the and of a nationns.—

Go on! go on! we ha'n't got time

Ens l—a being, existence, essence, that recondite part of a substance from which all its qualities flow, ([old?] term in metaphysics)

Look out there's "Take heed to yourselves—there's a mad man stalking loose through in the ship, with a knife in his hands,"—such was the warning sung out at night more than once below in the Old Jersey prison ship, _^1780 moored at the Wallabout, in the revolution.—Utter derangement was a frequent symptom of the aggravated sicknesses that prevailed there.—The prisoners were allowed no light at night.—

No physicians were allowed provided.—

Sophocles, Eschylus, and Euripides flourished about the time of the birth of Socrates 468 B.C. _^and years afterward.—Great as their remains are, they were transcended by other works that have not come down to us.—Those other works, often gained the first prizes.—

In Eschylus the figures are shadowy, vast, and majestic—dreaming, moving with haughty grandeurs, strength and will

In Sophokles, the dialogue and feelings are more like reality and the interest approaches home,—great poetical beauty.—

In Euripides, love and compassion—scientific refinement,—something like skepticism.—This writer was a hearer of Socrates.—

Phallic festivals.—wild mirthful processions in honor of the god Dionysus (Bacchus)—in Athens, and other parts of Greece—unbounded license—mocking jibes and irony—epithets and biting insults

To the Poor—

I have my place among you

Is it nothing that I have preferred to be poor, rather than
to be rich?

The road to riches is easily open to me,

But I do not choose it.

I choose to stay with you.—

[cut away](bring in a few[cut away] of ancient, and modern times—the worst I can find and the most [comely ?]and their ope effects— practical operations.)

Does any one tell me that it is the part of a man to obey such enactments as these?

I tell you the world is demented with this very obedience—

When a man, untrammeling himself from blind obedience to pries the craft of priests and politicians, branches out with his own sovereign will and strength—knowing that himself the unspeakable _^greatness of himself, or of the meanest of his fellow creatures—expands far beyond all the laws and governments of the earth—then he begins really to be a man.—Then he is great.—

From the baldness of birth to the baldness of burials and shrouds

Something behind or afterward.—Leave the impression that no matter what is said, there is something greater to say—something behind still more marvellous and beautiful—

[cut away] He does better with spare[cut away] out, hunger, starvation, opposing enemies, contentious

Riches.—It is only the mean and vulgar appetite that craves money and property _^as the first and foremost of its wants
