Elihu Vedder's picters rousted up deep emotions in my soul jest about the deepest I have got, and the most mysterious and weird. Other artists may paint the outside of things, but he goes deeper, and paints the emotions of the soul that are so deep that you don't hardly know yourself that you've got them of that variety.
Those of you who have seen Vedder's illustrations of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam will remember the ever recurring swirl which "represents the gradual concentration of the elements that combine to form life; the sudden pause through the reverse of the movement that marks the instant of life, and then the gradual, ever-widening dispersion again of these elements into space."
Vedder's invitation: I could not; but I returned to the room in the tenement where I had spent the previous night with Bill Hahn the Socialist. It was a small, dark, noisy room, but I was so weary that I fell almost immediately into a heavy sleep. An hour or more later I don't know how long indeed I was suddenly awakened and found myself sitting bolt upright in bed.
"Find Flemish Passage near English Street, and I'll tell you where to stop," he addressed the back of Vedder's massive head. "It's an old curiosity shop, and she keeps it," I hurried to explain, but that didn't seem to matter to Mr. Somerled. "I hope you like the lady's society," was all he said.
"It was ma luck, Sinclair, an' I couldna win by it." "Ha'vers! It was David Vedder's whiskey that turned ma boat tapsalteerie, Geordie Twatt." "Thou had better blame Hacon; he turned the boat Widdershins an' what fule doesna ken that it is evil luck to go contrarie to the sun?" "It is waur luck to have a drunken, superstitious pilot. Twatt, that Norse blood i' thy veins is o'er full o' freets.
The laugh was not so ready when Andrew Lang I think it was Lang wrote that Vedder's Omar Khayyam was not of Persia, but of Skaneateles. And after I suggested that it was really of Rome, and some mistaken friend at home sent my article to Vedder, I never thought him quite so cordial. And so the winter passed.
Nicholas," said Father Vedder. "But it comes very soon." He put on his own skates and Kit's, and the mother put on her own and Kat's. "I'm sure we can do it almost right away," said Kat. "Now we'll show you how to skate," said Father Vedder. He stood the Twins up on the ice. They held each other's hands. They were afraid to move. Father Vedder took Mother Vedder's hand.
"He ought to have married some sensible woman who would have brought up the girl as girls ought to be brought up," she answered; adding, "We may as well remember that the management of women, at any age, is a business clean beyond Adam Vedder's capabilities." "Adam is a clever man, Barbie." What is the use of book wisdom when you have a live girl, full of her own way, to deal with?"
For us there was always a refuge from our cold rooms at the café or at Vedder's, and it was seldom we did not profit by it.
I can talk as the crowd talks, and I can talk to a sensible man like thee. Tomorrow brings release. I am glad, for Thora has forgotten me. I feel that very much." "Thou art jealous." Vedder's assertion was near the truth, for undeniably Ian and Thora had been careless of any one but themselves.
