Upon the breast of smiling June
Roses and lilies lie,
And round her yet is faint perfume
Of violets, just gone by;
Green is her gown, with 'broidery
Of blossoming meadow grass,
That ripples like a flowing sea
When winds and shadows pass.
Her breast is belted by the blue
Of succory, like the sky,
And purple heart's-ease clasp her too,
And larkspur growing high;
Laced is her bodice green with vines,
And dew the sun has kissed,
Jewels her scarf that faintly shines,
In folds of morning mist!
The buttercups are fringes fair
Around her small white feet,
And on the radiance of her hair
Fall cherry-blossoms sweet;
The dark laburnum's chains of gold
She twists about her throat:
Perched on her shoulder, blithe and bold,
The brown thrush sounds his note!
And blue of the far dappled sky
That shows at warm, still noon,
Shines in her softly smiling eye.
Oh! who's so sweet as June ?
June by Margaret Deland

Margaret Deland
Novelist and poet Margaret Deland was born in 1857 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Deland's first book, a poetry collection titled The Old Garden, was published in 1886. She was best known for her 1888 novel, John Ward, Preacher, which told the story of a Calvinist minister and his wife who could not accept the idea of eternal damnation. The novel proved both controversial and popular. Deland also published several short story collections including Around Old Chester in 1915 and An Old Chester Secret in 1920. She was also involved in charity work. Over the course of four years, Deland opened her home to around 60 unwed mothers and their infants. She also received the Legion of Honor from the French government for her relief work during World War I.
Margaret Deland died in 1945 at the age of 87.

Everybody would like to know: what are the
?
Of course, they also want to know:
The answer is Les Misérables (sometimes).
While I was looking through the California Digital Newspaper Collection, I made note of the articles which mentioned that Les Misérables was included in the local library.
To begin, in 1885 the Napa Free Library opened in Napa, California, which seems to have been a subscription library furnished with a watercooler “where he who seeks the fountain of knowledge may at the same time slake his thirst tor water.” The library’s board of Trustees selected which books the library would carry, and Les Misérables was among the first 35 selected.
Missouri’s Saint-Louis Republic reported in 1889: “When ‘Les Miserables’ first appeared fifty copies answered the demand, although this is one of the most constantly read books in the library.”
In 1890 the Chicago Tribune quoted a bookseller as saying “I sell a copy of Victor Hugo's ‘Les Miserables’ every ten days regularly.” (I know I said this was about libraries but I just thought that one was interesting).
In 1891, in the town of Springfield, Massachusetts, “of French books, the one most read is Victor Hugo's ‘Les Miserables.’”
Of course it’s not just about what people like to read, it’s also about what is considered to be “good literature” and “worth reading” by those in charge. For example, see this headline from the San Pedro News Piolet in 1919
The high school’s librarian writes:
What do we mean by “better books?” During the last hour I have been considering the subject with a group of young people who happened to be gathered in the school library for study. The discussion was precipitated by the following request from a young girl:
“Please get me something to read that will be good for, me.”
You may think that such a request must be either unusual or insincere, but it is neither. It comes to me constantly in one form or another.
“What is a real good story?”
“I want something beside fiction.”
“Will this book be good enough to make an English report on?”
“What is the difference between Harold Bell Wright’s stories and those of Ralph Connor?” etc., etc.
The debate today drew into its vortex all the occupants of the study hall and, at times, grew a little warm. Several were enthusiastic supporters of Harold Bell Wright, and I tried to explain to them the difference between the sentimental, poorly written novel and the vigorous tale of adventure and romance.
The following list of books is the one the young girl in question actually considered reading. It might be interesting to look through the titles and check those we have read or that we know something about. They can all be found at the public library, and I feel sure that anyone who reads them all will be richly rewarded. To make the acquaintance of a great book is in itself an education.
She chose from the list Les Miserables, the greatest of all novels. If she reads it intelligently it will be an addition to her mental life that she must appreciate and feel as long as she lives and thinks.
Following is the list:
Victory — Joseph Conrad.
Adam Bede — George Eliot.
Fathers and Sons — Turgenev.
Smoke — Turgenev.
The Crime of Sylvester Bonnard — Anatole France.
The Rise of Silas Lapham — William U. Howells.
A Modern Instance — William D. Howells.
Eugenie Grandet — Balzac.
The Iron Woman — Margaret Deland.
Anna Karenina —Tolstoy.
Les Miserables — Victor Hugo.
Jane Eyre—Charlotte Broute [sic].
This is a chapter from real life, and this list is given because it is one actually discussed on this occasion. Other lists as good might be made.
A little out of order for the timeline but that same theme was explored by E.L. Kellogg, the library of the Carnegie library located in San Luis Obispo in 1917 and she had this to say:
But the reading of light, overdrawn, ephemeral fiction only, is a species of intemperance, which not only vitiates the taste, but shuts out a whole world of profit and pleasure among the works of real genius. There is Dickens whose “every page is crowded with jostling life,” to read whom is like taking a walk down some "highway of life where we may come into contact with humanity.” What a pity to go through life unacquainted with the episode of the stolen candle-sticks In Les Miserables, or the splendid Doctor of the Old School in The Bonnie Brier Bush!
In the San Mateo Daily News Leader, in 1912, it was reported that the local library was able to purchase “a handsome four volume edition of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables with recent gift money.” However reader’s desiring other books not in the library’s collection, they would have to consult the state library or “kindly confer with the librarian. If a number of books are ordered at one time the cost for each applicant will be trifling. Expressage is the only expense.”
Books were not just for solitary reading and individual improvement. As reported in the Hanford Journal in December of 1913:
There are a number of useful books and magazines that are full of the suggestions that will aid any one who plans on entertaining during the holidays. These volumes will be found at the Hanford public library:
Powers' “Dialogues for Little Folks” contains a couple of plays for children, entitled a “Christmas Gift” and “Edna’s Christmas Wishbones.” Knight's “Dramatic Reader for Grammar Grades” gives Dickens' famous story of "Ebenezer Scrooge's Christmas," written in dramatic form, and "Little Cosette” and “Father Christmas” adapted from Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” [Wow I just learned about another adaptation thanks to this.]
Great holiday fun for the whole family.
In 1916 they got a whole lot of new books in Calexico (sorry for the low quality. Les Mis is in there):
In 1911 an advice columnist for the San Francisco Call advised readers that “if you have never read ‘Les Miserables,’ you might attack that this summer.” (Or, of course, if that isn’t your cup of tea, “promise yourself that you will read a dozen good books on hypnotism and clairvoyance and the other manifestations of the unknown world into which science is trying to peek.) (Two years later that same columnist reported that her neighbor was forced to stop reading most magazines due to financial problems, but that that neighbor had said “It has driven us to make more use of our fine library, and the other day we discovered we hadn’t read half the books on our own shelves. So now I’m absorbed in Les Miserables and Jack is reading one of Thackeray‘s that he hadn’t happened to read — both books right off our own bookshelves.”)
And that’s just about it as far as anything remotely interesting goes!

Savaş kötüdür çünkü cinayet ve nefrettir. Ve bu aptalca, çünkü nefret ve cinayet insanların yalnızca bedenlerini yok edebilir, fikirlerini değiştiremez. Margaret Deland

Margaret Deland Sözleri: (1857-1945)
Mahkumiyetler sebepleri ima etmez. Margaret Deland
Sabır olmadan dehaya sahip olamazsın. Margaret Deland
İnsan yaşamak için bir şeyi arzu etmelidir. Margaret Deland
Doğa tamamen tarafsızdır. Beynin cinsiyeti yoktur! Margaret Deland
Yalnız olmayı istemektense yalnız olmak daha iyidir. Margaret Deland
Sağduyuya bağlı olmayan vicdan çok tehlikeli bir şeydir. Margaret Deland
Dövüş, akıl yürütemeyen köpeklere, kedilere ve tavuklara bırakılmalı. Margaret Deland
Sağduyuyu reddeden özveri bir erdem değildir. Vicdani bir dağılmadır. Margaret Deland
Zamanın küstahlığı, görünmeyen bir düşmanın suratına indirdiği darbe gibidir. Margaret Deland
Bencillik, hoşgörüsüzlük hareketsizlik. İşte ihtiyarlığın üç öldürücü işareti bunlardır. Margaret Deland
Her zaman kanunun gözlük takması gerektiğini düşünmüşümdür, arada bir görme yeteneği çok zayıf olur. Margaret Deland
Savaş kötüdür çünkü cinayet ve nefrettir. Ve bu aptalca, çünkü nefret ve cinayet insanların yalnızca bedenlerini yok edebilir, fikirlerini değiştiremez. Margaret Deland

High on the crest of the blossoming grasses,
Bending and swaying with face toward the sky,
Stirred by the lightest west wind as it passes,
Hosts of the silver-white daisy-stars lie!
I, looking up through the mists of the flowers,
I, lying low on the earth thrilled with June,
Give not a thought to the vanishing hours,
Save that they melt into twilight too soon!
Blossoms of peaches float down for my cover,
Snow-flakes that blushed to be kissed by the sun,
Blossoms of apples drift over and over,
White they with grief that their short day is done!
Summer by Margaret Deland
