With our swords have we contended! When the Vistula we enter'd With our ships in battle order We unto the hall of Woden Sent the bold Helsingian foemen. Then the sword-points bit in fury; All the billows turn'd to life-blood Earth with streaming gore was crimson'd; Reeking sword with ringing note ) Shields divided; armour smote. ) (With our swords we contended!) (None had fallen on that day ) (Till on his ship Herauclus fell: ) (Than him before no braver baron ) Cleft the sea with ships of battle; Never after him was chieftan Lighter hearted in the fighting. With our swords have we contended! Now the host flung down their buckles; Flying spears tore hero's bosoms Swords on Scarfian rocks were striking. Gory was his shield in slaughter Till the royal Rofus perish'd Sweat from weary hands and pale ) Trickled down the suits of mail. ) With our swords have we contended! Copious booty had the ravens Round about the Indirian islands, In that single day of action (One in many deaths was little. ) (The rising sun grew bright on spears) In the forms of prostrate warrior-men. Arrows from their bows ejected; (Weapons roared on Lano's plain. ) (Long the virgin mourned that slaughter. ) LITTLE-KNOWN FANTASISTES. (concluded from page 13) -o0o- trees sometimes appear the chance passer-by as a pair of lovers murmuring endearments to each other while clasped in one another's arms. No reader will feel sympathy for the girl's murderous old father when the trees finally exact vengeance. All the stories mentioned above deserve reading, though they perhaps reveal more the able craftsman than the master. In this connection, it is interesting to note that M. R. James thought highly of Burrage's work, saying: "Of living writers I have some hesitation in speaking, but on any list that I was forced to compile, the names of E. F. Benson, Algernon Blackwood, Walter de la Mare, H. R. Wakefield, and M. M. Burrage would find a place." HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT, 1890-1937: A TENTATIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY. 12 pages of otherwise unavailable information, compiled by the Acolyte staff and published by Evans and Laney. 10[[cent symbol]] each. Francis T. Laney, 1104 South Georgia St., Los Angeles 15, California. -- 15 --
