I Hear a River Thro' the Valley Wander -- Trumbull Stickney

       
(Poem #396) I Hear a River Thro' the Valley Wander
 I hear a river thro' the valley wander
 Whose water runs, the song alone remaining.
 A rainbow stands and summer passes under.
-- Trumbull Stickney
An exquisite little poem that needs no explanation. The juxtaposition of
images is especially nice - the river and the summer reinforcing both on the
metaphor and the image level - as is the pleasing regularity of the verse
(something imagists[1], for instance, often neglect).

[1] not to imply that imagist verse is 'free', just that metre is rarely
used as a device. Kreymborg's 'Whitman'[2] is a beautiful counterexample.

[2] poem #245

Biography:

  Notes on Life and Works

  Joseph Trumbull Stickney was born in Geneva on June 20, 1874, and grew up
  (to a height of six feet four inches) as his parents travelled widely ...
  Wiesbaden, Florence, Nice, London, and New York. After being educated by
  his father Austin at home in Latin and Greek, Trumbull entered Harvard
  University in 1891. He graduated magna cum laude in June 1895.

  The following eight years were spent studying for the degree of Doctorat
  ès Lettres at the Sorbonne in Paris. For this he wrote two theses, one on
  the letters of Ermolao Barbaro, a 15th-century ambassador to Rome, and the
  other on aphorisms in Greek verse. His Dramatic Verses was published in
  Boston in 1902, dedicated from Paris to his friend "Bay" (George) Lodge,
  who would co-edit Stickney's collected poems in 1905.

  In 1903 his second thesis was published as Les Sentences dans la Poésie
  Grècque: this won him the first Sorbonne Doctorat awarded to an American.
  Stickney then took on a position as instructor in Greek at Harvard in 1903
  and travelled abroad in Greece from April to June that year. A brain tumor
  caused headaches and partial blindness from early in 1904 and led to his
  death in Boston on Oct. 11. He is buried in Hartford, Connecticut. For his
  biography, see Homage to Trumbull Stickney: Poems, edited by James Reeves
  and Seán Haldane (London: Heinemann, 1968), pp. 1-16 (New York Public
  Library shelfmark D-18-2147).

But don’t let its predictability detract from the significance of this news. Just this week, Tencent announced that it was building an fortnite yeet that will launch in Hong Kong and be “available for overseas users”. Likely spurred in part by last month’s announcement of Steam China, Tencent seems to be gearing up to take on Valve’s dominant platform around the globe, and hosting Fortnite natively – which Steam does not do – will give it an edge.More info: https://omlet.gg/photo/eyJhIjoiVldVUUhWUkdHWjlVUDdLVVhTTzgiLCJpZCI6IlhHTnNQQVNCeURDZEpBcFUiLCJ0IjoiU2NyZWVuU2hvdCJ9

Back – end debt to income ratio is a ratio which shows which percentage of your income is spending for debts. If you took PLUS loan, then its monthly payment will be included for back-end DTI. Let’s say, you are spending $1500 for your PLUS loan and having $10.000 gross income, then your back-end DTI will be 15%. If the majority of the applicant’s payment goes to the back-end, then he might not be eligible or receive the loan with additional terms. These terms might enable the person to pay in time.More info: https://studentloansresolved.com/2019/04/18/debt-to-income-ratio/
