20thcentury

105d

Anybody know anything about a Nicolletti trial in May of 1915? Probably took place in <a href="/tags/newyork/" rel="tag">#NewYork</a>, possibly <a href="/tags/nyc/" rel="tag">#NYC</a>. It was a big enough deal that they took a formal photo of the jury, which I have in my possession. Would love to know more.<a href="/tags/ushistory/" rel="tag">#UShistory</a> <a href="/tags/trials/" rel="tag">#trials</a> <a href="/tags/early20thcentury/" rel="tag">#Early20thCentury</a> <a href="/tags/20thcentury/" rel="tag">#20thCentury</a>

Alexander Gray
On a Cat, Ageing

He blinks upon the hearth-rug,
and yawns in deep content,
accepting all the comforts
that Providence has sent.

Louder he purrs, and louder,
in one glad hymn of praise
for all the night’s adventures,
for quiet, restful days.

Life will go on for ever,
with all that cat can wish;
warmth and the glad procession
of fish and milk and fish.

Only – the thought disturbs him –
he’s noticed once or twice,
the times are somehow breeding
a nimbler race of mice.
