In 1876 he graduated from Harvard University cum laude, after a period of time and to the Far East to do business purposes. But he was interested in math, too young Shihai studied under astronomy.斯基帕雷利 reports exist on Mars "canals", so he is very excited. Back in the U.S., he has plenty of wealth, worked hard for a living need to take advantage of this favorable conditions in Arizona built a private observatory. There, a few kilometers of high dry desert air and away from city lights, makes a very good degree of astrology quiet. Lowell Observatory, completed in 1894. At that time, Mars is very close to the Earth. Lowell Mars fifteen years of sleepless nights, shooting thousands of pictures of Mars. There is no doubt that he saw (or that he thought he saw) canal. In fact, he sees Nokia Paredes Biscay have seen much more interest, and he painted a detailed map, including the five hundred over the last canal.

Robert Lowell: Confessions of American Poets
The victims of the federal
"He gave up everything for the Republic of service."
Now the old South Boston Aquarium stands
A snow desert, he nailed a board broken windows.
Cod fish-shaped bronze that the weathercock off as half of the scales.
Storage tank dry.
My nose was like a snail crawling on the glass:
My hand was itching to
To pierce those tame, submissive fish nostrils
Came out of small bubbles.
My hands shrink back. I often
Dusky below to breed the fish and reptile kingdom sigh.
One morning in March
I am close to the square in Boston
A newly built, there are spikes, galvanized fence.
Behind the cage, like a yellow dragon roaring excavators
Tons of snow to mud and grass rise,
Digging an underground garage.
Storage yard sparkling, as
Boston Center for the piles of sand.
Orange, pumpkin-colored beams clean as a belt
Closely surrounded the gurgling sound of the state government buildings,
It is due to digging and shaking,
The opposite is Shengsangdengsi amazing relief for the war on
Colonel Shaw and the bulging cheeks black infantry regiment
Supported by a piece of wood to withstand the shock garage.
After two and a half into the Boston,
Half the team has been killed,
Erected the monument in time,
William James could almost hear the black statue of breathing.
They like a fishbone monument
Stuck in the city's throat.
It's like a compass Colonel
General thin needle.
He has an angry wren vigilance
A dog's mild tension;
He seems afraid of pleasure,
But was stifled by loneliness.
He is now unfettered by. He is one of the lovely,
Make a choice between life and death of special forces cheered -
When he led the black soldiers toward death.
His spine is not bent.
Thousands of New England small town on the green of the original
Old white church maintained lean and sincere
Rebellious air, wear the flag
Covered with the graves of the Republic army.
Abstract sculptures out of the federal soldiers
Weight loss year after year and the young -
Spine beam was thin, and they rely on Mauser bunk,
In their beard in contemplation.
Shaw's father, not monuments,
Apart from a small ditch,
Threw his son's body, where
With his "niggers" with the lost.
That trench closer.
Can not stay here, what the last war the statue:
Bo Hai in Charleston on the street, an advertising photo
Showing the Hiroshima boiling
Mole Si cards in a safe, and that "the eternal rock"
Preserved in the explosion. Space is closer.
When I bent down to watch TV
Withered black students face as the balloon-like rise in the ranks.
Colonel Shaw
Now riding on the bubble.
He waited
That being the crack.
Aquarium gone. Everywhere
Cars with large gills of fish generally swim past;
The yield of a brutal
Painted lubricants slipped in the past.
1964
