1826
According to The Timetables of History (NY: Simon and Schuster, 1991), in 1826:
• James Fenimore Cooper wrote Last of the Mohicans
• Thomas Jefferson died
• the Treaty of Yandabu ended the Burmese War
• Nguan Nguan edited the writings of Confucious
• Russia declared war on Persia
• Dost Mohammed became the Amir of Kabul
Today, 1826 is the number of US miltary persons killed in the current war campaigns abroad. This number appears here thanks to alert neighbors of the cloud-dappled southwest metropolis who post the changing number daily in their front porch window.
1826. Sobering.
The Dickinsonian oracle pronounces:
Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality,
Nay, it is Deity -
Unable they that love - to die
For Love reforms Vitality
Into Divinity
(E. Dickinson, 951)
