The Log-Cabin Lady I. I was born in a log cabin. I came to my pioneer mother in one of Wisconsin's bitterest winters. Twenty-one years later I was sailing for England, the wife of a diplomat who was one of Boston's wealthy and aristocratic sons. The road between—well, let it speak for itself. Merely to set this story on paper opens old wounds, deep, but mercifully healed these many years. Yet, if other women may find here comfort and illumination and a certain philosophy, I am glad, and I shall feel repaid. The first thing I remember is being grateful for windows. I was three years old. My mother had set me to play on a mattress carefully placed in the one ray of sunlight streaming through the one glass window of our log cabin. Baby as I was, I had ached in the agonizing cold of a pioneer winter. Lying there, warmed by that blessed sunshine, I was suddenly aware of wonder and joy and gratitude. It was gratitude for glass, which could keep out the biting cold and let in the warm sun. To this day windows give me pleasure. My father was a school-teacher from New England, where his family had taught the three R's and the American Constitution since the days of Ben Franklin's study club. My mother was the daughter of a hardworking Scotch immigrant. Father's family set store on ancestry. Mother's side was more practical. The year before my birth these two young people started West in a prairie schooner to stake a homestead claim. Father's sea-man's chest held a dictionary, Bancroft's History of the United States, several books of mathematics, Plutarch's Lives, a history of Massachusetts, a leather-bound file of Civil War records, Thackeray's “Vanity Fair”, Shakespeare in two volumes, and the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” My mother took a Bible. I can still quote pages from every one of those books. Until I was fourteen I saw no others, except a primer, homemade, to teac, 0, MP3 Audio CD. The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver tells the sad story of a mother and a son. The mother cries because she could not even buy clothes for her son. She was thankful for his husband did not know of this because he already died. Winter passed and all they have is a harp with his mother?s head leaned against it. One day, his mother wove clothes for him, such as a red cloak, a pair of breeches and mittens. Lucky enough, for he is his mother?s king. Edna St. Vincent Millay was born on February 22, 1892 and rested peacefully on October 19, 1950. She was a poet and tragedian. She was also popular for her feminist activism. She used the pen name Nancy Boyd for her poetry. The poet Richard Wilburasserted, said, "She wrote some of the best sonnets of the century.? She was born in Rockland, Maine, to Cora Lounella Buzelle, a nurse, and Henry Tolman Millay, a school educator who would then become a superintendent of schools. Her middle name came from St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, where her uncle's life had been saved before she was born. Her family's home was "between the mountains and the sea where baskets of apples and drying herbs on the porch mingled their scents with those of the neighboring pine woods." Cora formally divorced Edna's father for monetary negligence, but they were already living apart for several years. Cora and her three daughters, Edna who referred to herself as Vincent, Norma Lounella, and Kathleen Kalloch, went from place to place, living such a poor life. Cora moved carrying loads of books of classical fictions, such as Shakespeare and Milton, which she read to her three daughters. The family resided in a little house of Cora's aunt in Camden, Maine, where Edna wrote her works of art including poetry that made her very famous from then up to now., 0, MP3 Audio CD.

Nesbit with the purpose of amusing little children and narrating Shakespeare's theatricals in a style they can clearly decipher. She encompassed a short life account of William Shakespeare, a verbalized reference to many of the hard-to-pronounce sobriquets and some magnificent aphorisms. These Beautiful Stories of Shakespeare consists of: A Midsummer Night's Dream; The Tempest; As You Like It; The Winter's Tale; King Lear; Twelfth Night; Much Ado About Nothing; Romeo and Juliet; Pericles; Hamlet; Cymbeline; Macbeth; The Comedy of Errors; The Merchant of Venice; Timon of Athens; Othello; The Taming of the Shrew; Measure for Measure; Two Gentlemen of Verona; and All's Well That Ends Well. In the baptismal records of the church of Stratford-upon-Avon, a marketplace in Warwickshire, England, stated, that on April 26, 1564 is the date of baptism of William Shakespeare to his father John Shakspeare. The baptism is recorded in Latin ?"Gulielmus filius Johannis Shakspeare." His date of birth has taken place 3 days prior to his baptismal, however, this is yet to be proven. The last name was differently spelled, the playwright himself not often spelled it as stated in his records. The record implies that his last name is spelled as Shakspeare, in many original signatures of the playwright it is spelled as Shakspere, and in the first publication of his books it is written as Shakespeare. Halliwell said that there are not more than 34 ways in which the diverse members of the family of Shakespeare ascribe the appellation, and in the council-book of the corporation of Stratford, where it is presented 166 times through those times when the playwright?s father was municipal official, there are 14 distinct spellings. The contemporary Shakespeare is not listed., 0<
