Now a few
years later the Princes of Kiev accepted for themselves
and their people the Eastern faith, so when, in 1054, the
Church of Rome was divorced from that of Byzantium
a definition of confessional spheres of influence was in-
volved ; into this business the prudent
directors
of the
two faiths entered with a zeal that betrayed anxiety for
temporal as well as for spiritual aggrandizement, and in
its course that rift was made which immediately rent the
Slavonic world into two halves and prevents their recon-
ciliation to-day.

In those days for plain things plain words would serve;
Men had not learned to admire the
graceful
swerve
Wherewith the AEsthetic Nature's genial mood
Makes public duty slope to private good;
No muddled conscience raised the saving doubt; 20
A soldier proved unworthy was drummed out,
An officer cashiered, a civil servant
(No matter though his piety were fervent)
Disgracefully dismissed, and through the land
Each bore for life a stigma from the brand
Whose far-heard hiss made others more averse
To take the facile step from bad to worse.

And stood amazed at such hardihood,
And pitched his tent upon the reedy shore,
And stayed two days to wonder, and then crept at midnight o'er
Some unfrequented height, and coming down
The autumn forests treacherously slew
What Sparta held most dear and was the crown
Of far Eurotas, and passed on, nor knew
How God had staked an evil net for him
In the small bay at Salamis,--and yet, the page grows dim,
Its cadenced Greek delights me not, I feel
With such a goodly time too out of tune
To love it much: for like the Dial's wheel
That from its blinded
darkness
strikes the noon
Yet never sees the sun, so do my eyes
Restlessly follow that which from my cheated vision flies.

recent research on this point has been contradictory (Tennant 1988: Harris and Bifulco 1991), it does seem clear that the lack of good care that is so often a result of childhood
bereavement
is a vulnerability factor for depression, and that there are important additive effects, so that loss in adult life, in the presence of vulnerabilities in the personality, makes a person much more likely to become depressed than in their absence.

Aphrodite of the foam,
Who hast given all good gifts,
And made Sappho at thy will
Love so greatly and so much,
Ah, how comes it my frail heart 5
Is so fond of all things fair,
I can never choose between
Gorgo and
Andromeda?

'T is bad, and may be better--all men's lot:
Most men are slaves, none more so than the great,
To their own whims and passions, and what not;

what little we had got:
To feel for none is the true social art
Of the world's stoics--men without a heart.
