82. THE JAMES THOMSON POETRY WORKS . . . JAMES THOMSON B.V. This page is dedicated to the writings of Victorian poet James Thomson (BV). Thispage is devoted to James Thomson, a Scottish poet of the Victorian era. http://vasthead.com/Thomson/

This page is devoted to James Thomson, a Scottish poet of the Victorian era. The James Thomson Poetry Works is really a web site in the middle of a web site and is a service of The Vasthead. This page began in February, 2000, when only a few Thomson poems could be seen on line. Most of the poems now available appeared here first. James Thomson lived from 1834 to 1882 . The "B.V." after his name in the above quote is an abbreviation for Thomson's pseudonym. The letters are often used to distinguish him from another James Thomson (the author of "Rule Britannia") who lived from 1700 to 1748. Thomson is best known for his gothic epic, " The City of Dreadful Night ." Inspired by his own struggles in the city of London, the poem portends the horrors and decadence of modern urban life. It is not without reason that Thomson is sometimes called the "poet of doom." Thomson's short life can be loosely compared to Edgar Allan Poe. Like Poe, he suffered from a melancholy which resulted from the early death of a lover. Like Poe, he is most remembered for his scenes of horror. And, like Poe, he died in middle age as a result of substance abuse.

THOMSON, JAMES (b. Nov. 23, 1834, Port Glasgow, Renfrew, Scot. / d. June 3, 1882, London) (pseudonym Bysshe Vanolis or B.V.) Scottish Victorian poet who is best remembered for his sombre poem The City of Dreadful Night. The City of Dreadful Night, printed in 1974 in The National Reformer, did attract some acclaim in literary circles. He was an admirer and translator of Giacomo Leopardi, but, unlike the Italian poet, Thomson did not temper his pessimism with any kind of social optimism. Among his other best known poems are The Doom of a City, Insomnia and Mater Tenebrarum. back to index EXCERPTS FROM THE CITY OF DREADFUL NIGHT Lo, thus, as prostrate, "In the dust I write My heart's deep languor and my soul's sad tears. " Yet why evoke the spectres of black night To blot the sunshine of exultant years? Why disinter dead faith from mouldering hidden? Why break the seals of mute despair unbidden, And wail life's discords into careless ears?

92. How Could Vietnam Happen? - An Autopsy By James C. Thomson, Jr. RISKFREE Trial Issue! APRI L 1 9 6 8. by James C. Thomson, Jr. From Copyright© 1968 by James C. Thomson, Jr. All rights reserved. The http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/68apr/vietnam.htm

A P R I L 1 9 6 8 by James C. Thomson, Jr. From the beginning of John Kennedy's Administration into this fifth year of Lyndon Johnson's presidency, substantially the same small group of men have presided over the destiny of the United States. In that time they have carried the country from a limited involvement in Vietnam into a war that is brutal, probably unwinnable, and, to an increasing body of opinion, calamitous and immoral. How could it happen? Many in government or close to it will read the following article with the shock of recognition. Those less familiar with the processes of power can read it with assurance that the author had a firsthand opportunity to watch the slide down the slippery slope during five years (1961-1966) of service in the White House and Department of State. Mr. Thomson is an East Asia specialist and an assistant professor of history at Harvard. A S a case study in the making of foreign policy, the Vietnam War will fascinate historians and social scientists for many decades to come. One question that will certainly be asked: How did men of superior ability, sound training, and high ideals American policy-makers of the 1960s create such costly and divisive policy? As one who watched the decision-making process in Washington from 1961 to 1966 under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, I can suggest a preliminary answer. I can do so by briefly listing some of the factors that seemed to me to shape our Vietnam policy during my years as an East Asia specialist at the State Department and the White House. I shall deal largely with Washington as I saw or sensed it, and not with Saigon, where I have spent but a scant three days, in the entourage of the Vice President, or with other decision centers, the capitals of interested parties. Nor will I deal with other important parts of the record: Vietnam's history prior to 1961, for instance, or the overall course of America's relations with Vietnam.

Review By-Laws 5. Set next agenda CABINET REPORT Cabinet report tabled, since Jim was absent (still in Cabinet!). SAC REPORT No report, since Irma was not present at the last meeting. (Her appointment as SGA representative to SAC was not confirmed until after . Her first meeting will be today.) LFA REPORT No report, since LFA has not met recently. REVIEW BY-LAWS The bylaws were reviewed for important additions, deletions, and changes. Some smaller changes were suggested: In the Mission Statement : add “and the University’s” to read “The Library Staff Governance Association and the Library’s and the University’s Administration.” Under Working Assumptions, #2 : change “key” to “cross-functional”; add “see S.G.A. Board Responsibilities”. Under Election Procedure We also want to ask Jim Fromm to bring up the issue of declination to Cabinet. The issue is that too many people are declining election to SGA. How do we ensure Library participation with a minimum of coercion? We also need to clarify whether staff can decline to be put on the ballot before elections are held.
