from "the village blacksmith" by henry wadsworth longfellow

1 under a spreading chestnut tree
2 the village smithy stands;
3 the smith, a mighty man he is,
4 with large and sinewy hands;
5 and the muscles of his brawny arms
6 are strong as iron bands.

7 his hair is crisp, and black, and long,
8 his face is like the tan;
9 his brow is wet with honest sweat,
10 he earns whate'er he can,
11 and looks the whole world in the face,
12 for he owes not any man.

13 week in, week out, from morn till night,
14 you can hear his bellows blow;
15 you can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
16 with measured beat and slow,
17 like a sexton ringing the village bell,
18 when the evening sun is low.

sexton: a person who takes care of church

hospitality is mentioned many times in odysseus. it is known as xenia in the poem. one notable example is.

here is a poor man come, a wanderer,

driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone

in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.

have a great day!

today we'd use social media to quickly spread a controversial idea, but in the eighteenth century, the printed pamphlet was highly effective. and thomas paine took full advantage of it. on january 9, 1776, when paine published his pamphlet, "common sense," he wanted to push the american people toward independence from britain. it ultimately ignite the american revolution. thomas paine argued that the monarchy was evil and should be rejected as a form of government. to underscore his point, he cited the bible to argue his case -- in judges 8: 22-23: "the israelites said to gideon, 'rule over us, you and your son and your ' gideon told them, 'i will not rule over you. the lord will rule over you'" (nrsv).
