On August 20, 2014 By A. Cathy Morales
A city isn't just a place to live, to shop, to go out and have kids play. It's a place that implicates how one derives one's ethics, how one develops a sense of justice, how one learns to talk with and learn from people who are unlike oneself, which is how a human being […]Continue Reading →

What is a "totally supportive finished deck system"? Is this essentially like a solid piece of metal that goes from one rail to the other replacing slats? Does it have legs attached to this deck system? If so, how many and are they the coaster type or just regular leg. Would this deck system work with a two twin box spring setup?
Love the look of this bed, relatively easy to assemble, and goes with our existing bedroom furniture. Very versital....

Complete False Advertising
This bed is slate/platinum colored. The only things that are black about it, are the slates which you can't even see! On the box it came in, it is clearly labelled as slate. However, on this site, the picture is black and under color it is listed as black. If you read some other reviews, other people have commented on this fact and still Overstock chooses to advertise it falsely. And since, with an on-line purchase, all you have is the company's word choice and pictures to go by, this misleading advertising can make all the difference. The bed itself appears to be sturdy and in good condition. At under $400, it's a great price and it was delivered just a few days after we made the order. However, in this case, the color change makes enough of a difference that it doesn't go with anything else that I had purchased for the room. Ironically, I picked this bed and then built the room around it. So, you can imagine by shock and anger when the bed itself was not at all what they promised me. Especially, since we planned it so, we'd put it together on a Saturday morning and the new mattresses would come that afternoon. Customer service was nice, though they implied that they were doing me a favor by paying for the return fee. And initially they tried to get me to pack it back up AND drive it to a UPS location. I quickly convinced them that they would be picking it up, free of charge to me. The other annoying thing, was that all the follow up emails, they kept saying how happy they were that they could help me and fix my problems and provide me with what I needed. There couldn't be anything further from the truth! What I needed was them to put the correct picture with the correct labeling on their site! And the last email they sent me, reminded me that I was "seriously missing out on a Bryant King-sized bed." Obviously, just a computer generated mistake, but talk about adding insult to injury. Regardless, I won't be doing business with them again. Which is unfortunate, because so much else about their company seemed great.Read More
Perfect bed

Great bed
When I got the bed, it felt like it wasn't going to be very sturdy. After it was all together, it turned out to be very solid. The assembly was very easy and can be done alone but would be easier with a second person.Read More
Sturdy Solid Bed Frame
I bought this in King size for a mattress I planned on using without a box spring. Assembly: I assembled this by myself in about an hour. I suggest you get your own allen wrench as the ones they provide are very small, however, they are sufficient. Quality: The bed frame is very solid feeling. It has supports for different base heights. I feel the king mattress is sufficiently supported. This seems like a very good frame for the money. I am very happy with the support this gives my mattress. I've never used a mattress without a box frame before. I only wish there was a support that ran the foot of the bed - without a box frame , the sheet/covers don't stay tucked in the foot of the bed very well. However, if they come untucked, this is masked by the comforter in my case. It looks fine without a bed skirt too.Read More
Excellent choice for my large son
I got this for my son when he moved out of the house. He is very large 6'5" and 350lbs and this was very sturdy and quiet.Read More
This thing is study
I am glad that I read the reviews and knew it would be Charcoal and not black as the pictures appears. Still it is a very attractive bed if you like a bold graphic look.This is a super sturdy bed. I had no difficulty assembling it. It took me and my boyfriend less than an hour. NOTE: I have not seen another review mention that his bed has TWO height settings. The picture shows just a mattress. However, if you intend to use a foundation as well like I am, you have the option to assemble it at a lower setting to accommodate the additional height. This really shrinks the space under the bed, but I don't need a step ladder to get into the bed.Read More
Sturdy with Good look, but not a perfect design.
This is a sturdy bed with elegant look. That made me to buy this product. We liked it for the first few days. Slowly we realized, there is a flaw in the headboard design. Pros: 1. Very Sturdy 2. Elegant look 3. Overall the installation steps are simple. Cons: 1. It is easy get struck inside those metal rods, particularly if you have KIDS. 2. Those metal rods are so strong, if by accident you hit any of those metal bars... you will see the god for a minute. 3. It is not so easy to assemble, unless you have wrench. I wish they provided one along with the package. 4. After the assembly, there is something missing, we always hear some kind of noise. We can not figure out, where the issue is.Read More
Great, Sturdy Bed at a Cheap Price
The bed arrived in two separate boxes and is quite heavy. Assembly took about an hour but the bed is made very very well and all the support pieces are metal. It went together very easy and looks great. I was worried about the headboard not being comfortable if sitting up in bed but to my surprise my head rested perfectly either between the metal or on the top rail of the headboard. It is very comfortable and paired perfectly with Overstock's 14 in. king size memory foam mattress. What a great deal. Always a plessure shopping on Overstock!!Read More
King bed and mattress
We received the Bryant King Size bed frame in 2 boxes via UPS-boxes weighed 60 and 70 pounds and were securely and very well packaged. Assembly was extremely easy with small hand tools that came with frame and took about 1/2 hour by myself. The 14" thick mattress arrived the following day (not up to 2 weeks later as Overstock states) by motor freight as it was very large and quite heavy-freight company driver was going to bring it in by himself and was extremely friendly-I helped him because of it's size and weight. I own a Tempur-Pedic already and now had something to compare it to-Tempur-Pedic was over $2200 and this mattress was under $700-couldn't wait to compare it-It was considerably thicker, had a cover that was nicer, and the bed, after sleeping on it several nights, was considerably better than the Tempur-Pedic. I would highly recommend the mattress to anyone that wants a PREMIUM mattress that won't hurt his bank account. Everything was perfect and Ovestock customer service is the BEST.Read More
the 2 boxes came sooner than i expected.. all parts were there.. easy directions.. took my boyfriend less that 2 hours to assemble.. very strong sturdy.., a lot of cross bars to handle the 2 box springs and mattress...very asian looking.. matches my decor.. i love it!!Read More

Color, price and reviews
price and reviews.
After careful consideration I felt that this bed frame would best suit my needs for a fame that I can put my memory foam mattress on without a box spring and not be too far off the floor similar to a platform bed without the platform look. You have a small selection of metal frames to choose from with the option for mattress only. In addition the fact that this frame has alot of reviews and many of them were very positive.
I want a frame under which I can store a twin trundle-like bed. The dimensions seem to be fine - are the "center supports" actual legs that come down to the floor and therefore would be in the way of such storage? Thanks.
Hello jjn, this lovely frame features two center support legs. Thank you for shopping with us.
Will this frame support a California king? Thanks!!
Hello mariahlea, no this will not work for a California king bed. This would not be long enough and it would be to wide. Have a great day!
What king of metal is this made of? Is it steel?
Same question from someone below, can I have a download of the set up instructions? Thank you
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
How much does this bed weigh? I would like to know the actual weight of the bed - not the shipping weight. Thank you.
Thank you airmilt for the opportunity to help you with this Bryant King-size Bed. The shipping weight of the bed is the only weight of the bed we have because we do not take the product out of its box and weigh it and then return it. That would no longer be a new bed so the shipping weight is the best weight we have. The weight is approximately 120 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us.
I am very interested in this bed. Can this be used as a platform bed?
Hello, save01. Hope your day is going well. Yes, the product comes with a deck system that can be mounted to the "low" settings of the headboard and footboard to then be used with a mattress and box spring/foundation. It can also be attached to the "high" settings and you can use the mattress only. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
I am interested in this bed. can you also send me downloadable version of the installation instructions?
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Is there a downloadable version of the installation instructions? I have also moved and need to reassemble the bed.
Hello phamos1, Thank you for inquiring about the Bryant King-size Bed. Customer service will be contacting you.
Is there a downloadable version of the installation instructions? I had to disassemble the frame during a recent move and having a copy of the instructions would make it much easier to put everything back together. Thanks!
Thank you for shopping with us mogwai1776. I will forward the assembly instructions to you. Have a great day.
Does this bed have five or six legs to support a king-sized mattress, or only four legs on the corners?
Hello, tkmeldrum. Hope your day is going well. There are 4 legs and 2 center supports. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
4 legs and two center support legs. I have the bed and it is very well supported.
What are the measurements for the floor to the side railings? I have a pet that likes to sleep under my bed and i want to make sure he will fit.
Thank you for shopping with us jvara. The bed comes with a support deck that can attach to headboard and footboard either at the standard bed frame height from floor of 7 1/2 inches (allowing you to use a mattress & foundation configuration), or you can attach at 11 1/2 inches from floor (designed than to be used with mattress only configuration). I hope this helps and have a great day.
What are the weight and dimensions of the two boxes that the bed comes in?
The boxes are about 7' long & the head board & foot board weigh about 40 - 50lbs each & the slats & side rail box weighs about 70lbs
Is the finish more black than grey?
Thank you for your interest. The color of this item is a deep gray, almost black. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Is this frame for an "eastern"king or a California king?
This would be considered a eastern king.
Can it support a memory foam mattress
Yes, this bed can support a memory foam mattress.
"Finished deck system" -- Is this a solid panel or slats? If slats what is the spacing of these? If a panel is it wood, particle board etc...
The bed has a support system that consists of five metal bars and two screw-in support legs.
how much weight can these beds accomodate with a box spring?
Unfortunately, this item has not been weight tested; however, this item should hold approximately 340 pounds.

Turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters...
I'm laid back and easy going, some times to a fault. I love my job, but it tends to involve a lot of conflict resolution, so I try to avoid conflict in my personal life much as I can. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff, and to enjoy every day to the fullest. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, I always expect the best out of those I surround myself with. I am always the happiest when making others happy. I am looking for someone honest and open minded. I don't tend to do anything in my life half hearted, and don't want to be with someone who will. I am overly outgoing, which serves me well in my career but I have found that some people find that intimidating. I always try to be a better person than I was the day before and would appreciate sharing my time with someone who makes me want to be better. I am an active member if the Kiwanis Club, and feel passionately about giving my time to benefit children who are less fortunate than I was as a child. I mentor two fourth graders, and look forward to my Thursday lunches with them. I love cooking, and trying new recipes. I love all food, and enjoy trying new things. I LOVE spicy food, the hotter the better! Cheese is my favorite food, hands down. I took a road trip from Bangor, ME to Boston, MA, and made it a point to eat lobster three meals a day! One day my food habit will catch up with me, but as long as my favorite jeans still fit and I can run with the dogs every day, I don't see any reason to change. My dogs keep me smiling, even after a bad day. I love curling up with a good book and my dogs. I love being outdoors, especially fishing, but a lazy Sunday on the couch makes me happy as well. I am a huge college football fan (Go HOKIES!), and will always beat you in Fantasy Football... I'll probably beat you in March Madness Brackets as well, I apologize in advance. I will be moving from the big city of Sanford to Raleigh in February and cannot wait to be back in a place that has a little more variety of things to do and people to meet. Submitted from mobile

Deep sea fishing, fly fishing, kayaking, anything on the water or at the beach. I love traveling, but avoiding the tourists spots. Always up for good live music. I can assure you that any free time I have is well spent.

Critical Essay by Roy P. Basler
SOURCE: "The Heart of Blackness—M. B. Tolson's Poetry," in New Letters, Vol. 39, No. 3, March, 1973, pp. 63-76.
In the following essay, Basler recommends Tolson's poetry for a general readership as opposed to an exclusively African-American audience.
What American poet will symbolize and represent our milieu to readers in the future, as Shakespeare represents the Elizabethan, Milton the Puritan, or, to come closer, Whitman the Civil War era? Will it be Eliot? Pound? Sandburg? Frost? William Carlos Williams? Time may tell, perhaps is already telling, that although they spoke to us in a special voice, none knew us in our latitudinal-longitudinal complexity, or used quite our whole language with the love and imagination of a master. Will it be one of the younger generation of Roberts—Lowell, Duncan, Creeley, or—? I think not.
Even in our current concern with ecology, Eliot's The Waste Land seems something less than symbolic or representative of our age, though better than any other poem it suggests the spiritual vacuum of what has seemed to some the fading of the Christian era. Pound's Cantos, while brilliantly projecting the intellectual disillusion and aesthetic discord of a civilization gone rationally mad, are at best a schizoid satire, to be read obliquely. Sandburg's The People, Yes, like all his poetic work, so subtly musical and complex in the pagan mysticism with which it conveys the fluidity of hard "reality," to me appears an inadequate reflection of the spirit of the age. And so on.
In thus dropping, one by one, these great contemporaries, I must admit that to some extent I am conditioned by a view of American tradition and history which may be held by the cynical to be merely a vestige of our eighteenth century origins—what the historian Henry Commager has characterized as Thomas Jefferson's "prospective," as opposed to John Adams' "retrospective," concept of history and culture. With this confessed bias in mind, the reader may consider what follows, and its implications for literary study.
I suppose even those who read a great deal of modern poetry are inadequately prepared for reading a truly great poem for the first time. One's first reaction must be put off. Let's be careful, nil admirari as Cicero said, even when the poem comes most highly "introduced" by a scholar-poet-critic whom one respects, Allen Tate. Such was my reaction to M. B. Tolson's Libretto for the Republic of Liberia in 1953. Since then, things have been happening on the literary scene which make appreciation of poetry even more of a self-conscious quiddity. Remembering how M. Carl Holman's autobiographical, "The Afternoon of a Young Poet" recorded his suspicion that the white audience gave "the dancing bear … higher marks than a man might get for the same performance," my WASP appreciation of Tolson has had to survive some peculiar inner resistances to its own convictions, which a black critic may find it difficult to comprehend. Yet one must face the fact that literary study today is affected willy-nilly by the racial febricity in our sick society, whose antibodies seem hopefully to be overcoming the toxins, even those infecting the literary establishment.
My "appreciation," however, refuses to be squelched by the possibilities of either exaggeration or mitigation, in the view that Tolson is perhaps the poet of our era who best represents, or comes nearest to representing, in his comprehensive humanity, the broadest expanse of the American character, phrased in the richest poetic idiom of our time. Better than his contemporary peers, he knew the span from low-brow to high-brow in both life and literature, and he loved the American English language, from gutter to ivory tower, better than any of them. His poetic diction is a natural blend of home words and hall words, where hearth and bema sing side by side. He is the natural poet who cultivated his nature, both root and branch, for the flower and the seed, for it was the seed even more than the flower, Ruskin to the contrary, that Tolson the poet believed art grew for—yes, the "yellow wasps of the sun swarm down," but when Tolson's "New Negro" speaks for "his America," the word is more American perhaps than any of his great contemporaries have spoken.
In his first book, Rendezvous with America Tolson established his lyric strength and a relatively simple but frequently incisive diction. Most simply put his message reads:
A man
Is what
He saves
From rot.
The success of Tolson's metaphor is its appropriateness to the poem in which it grows. In a simple poem about a great teacher whose community "struck him down" it is "the gallows of ignorance that hanged the little town." One of his best early poems, "The Ballad of the Rattlesnake," apparently the only ballad he ever wrote, epitomizes with simplicity the brutal tragedy of the sharecropper's lot, whether black or white, in the image of an Apache Indian mode of torturing a prisoner:
The desert holds
In its frying pan
The bones of a snake
And the bones of a man.
And many a thing
With a rock on its tail
Kills the nearest thing
And dies by the trail.
On the other hand, in one of his most complex and allusive later poems—more allusive even than Eliot or Pound or Hart Crane—he begins in sarcastic good humor at the expense of learning and poetry, with a metaphor that only a great poet with a great sense of humor could devise to laugh off the pomp of his proud occasion as Poet Laureate of Liberia, and follows it immediately and miraculously with magical reversal of image to exalt the living truth which escapes not only his occasion, but all occasions, and all words.
No Micro-footnote in a bunioned book
Homed by a pedant
With a gelded look:
You are
The ladder of survival dawn men saw
In the quicksilver sparrow that slips
The eagle's claw!
Reading the author's footnotes to such a marvelously complex poetic tapestry as the Libretto for the Republic of Liberia is almost as much of a literary adventure as reading the poem, and the impulse to add notes of one's own for their own sake is all but irresistible, in spite of the poet's serio-comic warning in the opening lines just quoted. How humorously serious in poetics this heroic ode waxes in its flamboyance seems to have escaped even the admiration in which Allen Tate wrote his introduction. Perhaps Tate did not approve Tolson's laughing about a technique Tate's masters, Eliot and Pound, had created all too seriously as the hallmark of modern poetry. To appreciate fully Tolson's aesthetic one must abandon the humorless restraints of the "new criticism" and revel in the sheer delight of a superbly scholarly Negro artist at work with words, on a rostrum and with a message, more exalted than any ever afforded even James Weldon Johnson's preacher. No other American—one almost said no other poet—has ever blended the comic and heroic as well as the comic and tragic in a flight so high. Perhaps only a scholar-poet of a downtrodden race could have dared it. In any event, the only "creation" I have ever heard or read that even suggests viable comparison was the sermon of a well-educated Negro "holiness" preacher, many years ago, delivered to a black congregation, black except for two white college students who had slipped in and whose presence in no way inhibited, but I am inclined to think may even have further inspired, the improvisation of extempore poetry distilled by an American Negro's imagination from Hebrew sources that were our common cultural heritage. Who's afraid of big words, arcane words, low-down words, any words of any kind that are possible to poetry? Not M. B. Tolson, when he sings the meaning of Liberia and the hope of humanity.
The Libretto for the Republic of Liberia is not only one of the great odes in the English language, it is in many respects one of the finest poems of any kind published in the English language during the twentieth century, so far as my acquaintance goes. Allen Tate's minor caveats are meaningless to me in the presence of Tolson's afflatus and Jovian humor. I get carried away. And the "irony," which Tate comments on, that an American government has never, could never have, commissioned such an official poem to be read in Washington, only reminds me that I agree with Tolson that "these truths," of which Jefferson wrote, are bearing and will bear fruits for which white Americans must yet acquire the taste. Imagine if you can the humor of this black Pindar of a Mark Twain celebrating the dignity of the small African republic founded by American ex-slaves with a poem at once so everyday American and yet so arcane, abstruse, and allusive that even with the author's notes it flies largely over the highbrow heads, not merely in his Liberian audience but of his fellow countrymen, white or black, literati suckled on Eliot and Pound for a quarter century! To imagine one of the less difficult but enormously pregnant passages marching across the years with heavy tread is to appreciate what Tolson will be when his black and white kinfolk come up to him:
Like some gray ghoul from Alcatraz,
old Profit, the bald rake paseq, wipes the bar,
polishes the goblet vanity,
leers at the tigress Avarice
she harlots roués from afar:
swallowtails unsaved by loincloths,
famed enterprises prophesying war,
hearts of rags (Hanorish tharah sharinas) souls of
laureates with sugary grace in zinc buckets of
myths rattled by the blue print's talk,
ists potted and pitted by a feast,
Red Ruin's skeleton horsemen, four
… galloping …
Marx, the exalter, would not know his
… galloping …
Nor Christ, the Leveler, His West.
For one who cut his literary eyeteeth explicating the civilized soul of T. S. Eliot's eunuch Prufrock, not to mention assorted passages depicting psychotic brunettes fiddling "whisper music" on their long black hair, et cetera, et cetera, this kind of poetry is "a fun thing," as the "mod" collegians like to describe their own "bag" today. Half a page of poetry with half a page of notes to explain it, notes which themselves frequently challenge the reader no less than does the poetry. And all for the fun of it. For example, here is Tolson's note on the line "old Profit, the bald rake paseq, wipes the bar."
Paseq: "divider." This is the vertical line that occurs about 480 times in our Hebrew Bible. Although first mentioned in the Midrash Rabba in the eleventh century, it is still the most mysterious sign in the literature.
How abstrusely appropriate a "visual" word can a poet find to name his personification of the motive most extolled in the gospel of capitalism by Chamber of Commerce evangelists? Not merely as a "vertical" dispenser of intoxicants to the habitués of this whore house, but also, something Tolson's note does not tell us, the not-at-all mysterious use of the paseq in the Hebrew Bible, namely to call the tune, so that the reader will not read two words together that should properly stand apart.
What Tolson undertook, I think, with great success, was to liberate the allusive, scholarly poetry Eliot created from the service of Eliot's sterile tradition and philosophy, and, while embellishing it with large humor, to put it to use as a vehicle for his own "prospective" view of human history.
Such is the fantastic poem published in 1953 by the poet who in 1962, nearly a decade later, was not invited to participate in "the National Poetry Festival" held at the Library of Congress, along with some thirty established poets, because he was not well enough known among the literati who had adulated Eliot and Pound for a generation. One wonders, was it the music or the theme of Tolson's song that put them off?
Anecdote of a committee of poets. "What about Tolson?" "Who?" "M. B. Tolson, you know—Libretto for the Republic of Liberia." "Oh, well, Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks are much better established."
That the committee was all white was not the trouble, for even if it had been a committee of all black poets the verdict would probably have been the same, for "'tis true 'tis pity / And pity 'tis 'tis true" that even yet black studies scholars seem not much better acquainted with Tolson's work than are the white scholars across the hall from them. One of our most distinguished black men of letters told me recently of reviewing for a leading publisher the manuscript of an anthology of the allegedly "best" Negro writers, which omitted M. B. Tolson but gave considerable space to Leroi Jones. It is indeed time, not only to begin revising the curricula of our schools so that the black man's contribution to American civilization may be honestly appreciated, but also to begin improving the literary judgment of the people who are revising the curricula.
It has been said by recent black writers that the black writer today must write primarily for black readers. It has also been said that the black writer must also write for white readers, or have few readers. Tolson recognized in his blood and bones as well as in his head that such statements are partial truths, and he set about writing for any reader who would take as much trouble to enjoy the reading as he took to enjoy the writing of poetry. Karl Shapiro has said that Tolson "writes Negro." True perhaps to some extent, but what does it mean when Tolson sounds to me more like Tolson (as Whitman sounds like Whitman) than he sounds like a Negro and more like a man than a member of any race? It happens he was Negro-Irish-Cherokee, with as much or little as any of us to be proud of in the matter of ancestry. And intellectually he was more a Jeffersonian of the basic Jeffersonian tradition than most white Americans have ever been since Jefferson himself. For he believed in equality of "the man inside," which is the title of his tribute to his friendship with a white writer, V. F. Calverton:
They told me—the voices of hates in the land—
They told me that White is White and Black is Black;
That the children of Africa are scarred with a brand
Ineradicable as the spots on the leopard's back.
They told me that gulfs unbridgeable lie
In the no man's seascapes of unlike hues,
As wide as the vertical of earth and sky,
As ancient as the grief in the seagull's news.
They told me that Black is an isle with a ban
Beyond the pilgrim's Continent of Man.
I yearned for the mainland where my brothers live.
The cancerous isolation behind, I swam
Into the deeps, a naked fugitive,
Defying tribal fetishes that maim and damn.
And when the typhoon of jeers smote me and hope
Died like a burnt-out world and on the shore
The hates beat savage breasts, you threw the rope
And drew me into the catholic Evermore.
We stood on common ground, in transfiguring light,
Where the man inside is neither Black nor White.
Typical of the young black intellectuals today espousing a "Black Aesthetic" is the critic Don Lee, who in a review of Robert Hayden's Kaleidescope, an anthology of Afro-American poetry, dismisses Tolson because of "his capacity to lose the people that may read him," namely, the black reader. It is Lee's belief that "Afro-Americans are better prepared to pass judgment" on black writers than are white critics. The shibboleth on which black aesthetes are choking is "relevance." If Tolson is not "relevant," it is because his reader, black or white, has not measured intelligence with him. Where black phrase-makers of the last instant are telling both black and white people that "violence is as American as cherry pie," Tolson would still remind us that
… on the Courthouse Square
A statue of the Lost Cause bayonets
Contemporary air.
And, he hoped, black or white may be wise and kind as well as beautiful:
Speaks in pantomime
In spite of mimic clocks
And dirty voices on the soapless box.
Saints the unity of blood and clime
Martyred by Caesars of the Undersoul
Who rape the freedoms and their crimes extoll.
It is such wisdom and kindness that Tolson, somewhat atypically among midcentury black intellectuals, recognized as the essence of Abraham Lincoln's humanity. His appreciation of Lincoln as a man, attested in a remarkable piece published in the column Caviar and Cabbage which Tolson contributed during 1938 to the Washington Tribune, was further evidenced in his long poem "Abraham Lincoln of Rock Spring Farm," published in Herbert Hill's anthology Soon, One Morning. In my judgment, this is one of the finest poems written about Lincoln since Whitman, and certainly the outstanding poem about Lincoln's genesis. It is, however, a deliberately plain, if heroic, poem, where the Libretto is a polyphonic and syncopated fugue. Perhaps his recognition of a certain kinship of spirit, as well as his respect for Lincoln's genius, ran close to the river bed of Tolson's frequently turbulent current of words.
Tolson's unfinished masterpiece, The Harlem Gallery, was planned to be a major epical work, of which only the prologue, "Book I: The Curator," was published in 1965, the year before his death, with a brilliant introduction by Karl Shapiro. Although one can only speculate about the overall plan, which called for four books—Egypt Land, The Red Sea, The Wilderness, and The Promised Land—to follow "Book I: The Curator;" the latter stands alone as a unique work for which traditional poetic terminology has no entirely adequate word. It is not an ode, as was the Libretto, though in some respects like it, but rather a kind of lyricdramatic narrative sermon in verse. In any event it is as carefully and often as intricately structured as a Tantric mandala, but swinging with Harlem rhythm and sublimely mingling the idiom of bedroom, street slang, scholarly diction, Shakespearean metaphor, and foreign tongues with a controlled abandon that only a poet who had observed all levels of life and touched all aspects of language could command.
Perhaps the one other fine poem with which The Harlem Gallery may be compared best is Langston Hughes' Montage of A Dream Deferred. Both poems are deeply moving and highly charged with emotion for any reader whose humanity spans more than one extreme of the color spectrum. Both poems are distillations of American English, but Hughes writes quite legitimately as a folk poet, with no particular obeisance to or love for either the matter or the manner of literary tradition, whereas Tolson employs very nearly the entire art and learning, not merely of the Hebraic-Christian-Classical tradition, but Oriental and African literary lore as well. Comparing Hughes and Tolson, however, is like comparing Robert Burns and John Milton, either useful or useless, depending on whether one really knows both—and the difference.
Consider as illustration the section "Theta," which states Tolson's aesthetic in richly allusive, but colloquial, fashion and clinches the bitter truth of art from Harlem to Paris, or Rome—that pleasure and happiness are not one and the same:
No guinea pig of a spouse
to be cuckolded in a mood indigo,
no gilded in-and-out beau
to crackle a jen de mots about the house—
Art, the woman Pleasure, makes no blind dates,
but keeps the end of the tryst with one:
she is a distant cousin of aeried Happiness
the love bird seeks against the eye-wrying sun,
in spite of her fame;
dubious as Galen's sight
of a human body dissected,
in spite of the hap in her name,
ominous as a red light.
The claw-thrust
of a rutting tigress,
the must
of a rogue elephant—
these con the bull of predictability,
like Happiness
a capriccio bastard-daughter of Tyche.
KKK, the beatnik guitarist, used to say
to High Yellah Baby
(before he decided to rub
out the light of his eyes
in the alley of Hinnom behind the Haw-Haw Club):
"The belle dame—Happiness—the goofy dream of
is a bitch who plays with crooked dice
the game of love."
It is not The Waste Land or Four Quartets, I think, which limn the present or light the future with the past so well that scholars salvaging libraries of this era may someday guess what manner of men were we. Nor is it even Sandburg's The People, Yes, nor William Carlos Williams' Paterson, but Tolson's The Harlem Gallery, rather, where the heart of blackness with the heart of whiteness lies revealed. Man, what do you think you are is not the white man's question but the black man's rhetorical answer to the white man's question. No poet in the English language, I think, has brought larger scope of mind to greater depth of heart than Melvin Tolson in his unfinished song to the soul of humanity.
Tolson's learning makes a mockery of the proud ignorance of a John C. Calhoun, who was quoted that "if he could find a Negro who knew Greek syntax, he would believe that the Negro was a human being." What it makes of the utterances of some of Calhoun's latter-day disciples is difficult to choose a word for. But more than his learning and intelligence, it is his art that makes a mockery of all racial pride or prejudice.
The message of The Harlem Gallery is that art, like humanity, knows no single race or peculiar color of its own. Art is human rather than Negro, Caucasian, or whatever, and the terms African art, or European art, or Afro-American art are named for the artist's immediate audience, not for his craft or his imagination, each of which is his and not his country's or his people's except by his largesse. So "English poetry" is a meaningless term except as it means "in English language," but "Shakespeare's poetry" or "Keats' poetry" means, as "Homer's poetry" or "Tolson's poetry," the unmistakable creation of its maker. This is a lesson that the study of any artist will teach, but that Tolson can teach with especial power, today and tomorrow.
And yet, granting the unique stamp of the creator on his matter, there is also the indubitable representation of his milieu, with which his culture has outfitted him, no less than the snake's or the fawn's, "nature" has outfitted him, so that he "belongs". Only the intellectually and culturally deprived, especially those unaware of their deprivation, can any longer fail to see that American culture, as Albert Murray has pointed out in The Omni-Americans, is neither white nor black, but mulatto. And what is true of American culture in general is particularly true of American language and is becoming more and more true of American literature. However Eliotic the retrospective tradition may seem to those who understand only what they have been taught, the Tolsonian prospect lies certainly, and I think clearly, ahead.
Poetry provided for M. B. Tolson what research, teaching, writing, and publication failed to provide for his black counterparts in the world of science, education, and learning—an opportunity to employ his intellect and project his identity as a man in a realm where skin color was nonsignificant. Classical scholarship of the highest order might not permit William S. Scarborough to move and mingle on the level of his peers in WASP universities or learned societies any more than historical scholarship would permit Carter G. Woodson, or scientific discovery and accomplishment would permit William A. Hinton, to receive the respect and rewards that would have been showered upon a white man with their respective accomplishments; but classical and historical scholarship of high order accompanied by anthropological knowledge of wide expanse could blend with the art of poetry to transcend the intellectual, scientific, and religious poverty of human relationships in a society and a culture still bound by a myth of white superiority. One might find himself forced to be a Negro historian, but not a Negro poet. One could be a man, and proudly a Negro, and especially a poet, without specializing in being primarily the Negro on the one hand, or apologizing for being one on the other. This M. B. Tolson felt, believed, declared, and demonstrated. To my mind, this is a supreme accomplishment of an individual human spirit in American in our day, to which moon-walking as the supreme collective accomplishment of our engineering know-how shines like a candle in broad daylight, Tolson refused the fate of what he termed
the white and not-white dichotomy
the Afroamerican dilemma in the Arts—
the dialectic of
to be or not to be
a Negro
Art was the means by which he believed not only an individual poet but also mankind could transcend, in some measure, both the past and the present in the future, if mankind put art to its highest use in recreating human life. So his prospective view, like Jefferson's, saw the imagined passing into the real, rather than the reverse, as taught by a sterile school of letters, that art merely imitates. And he addressed his concluding question and answer in The Harlem Gallery thus:
White Boy
Black Boy,
What if this Harlem Exhibition becomes
a cause célèbre?....
Our public may possess in Art
a Mantegna figure's arctic rigidity;
yet—I hazard—yet,
this allegro of the Harlem Gallery
is not a chippy fire,
for here, in focus, are paintings that chronicle
a people's New World odyssey
from chattel to Esquire!
Tolson has written of American life as it is and will be. He has taken our white-black culture and imagined it into a new thing more representative of the modern human condition than any of his contemporary peers among poets has managed to create, and it is not "negritude," although he has plenty of that, but "humanitude" that enabled him to accomplish the feat. I do not expect anyone to accept this judgment until he has read and appreciated Tolson's poetry for himself, and I do not expect professors of American literature to accept it generally for perhaps a quarter century, but Tolson's recognition will come as surely as has Whitman's.

Another screen from the travel app that I am working on right now.
This is showing the flight search results. I aimed for a clearer way to show the differences in flights.
Apart from prices are main differences always the duration of a flight. I've never understood why in most flight result screens this is in light grey.
What do you think, valuable info to show or not?

Summer Pie
|Yellow plum/Satsuma
|2 Pound
|1 Pound
|4 Tablespoon
|White bread slices
|4 (thin slices)
|1 Tablespoon
Halve plums and remove stones.
Peel and cut up apples.
Put fruit in a pan with very little sugar and cook over a slow heat until the fruit is soft, but not sloppy.
If there is too much moisture, the dish will be spoilt.
When fruit is cooked, sweeten and cool.
Line a small basin that will just hold the fruit, with thin slices of bread, from which all crusts have been removed (the bread cut in fingers).
Half fill the dish with fruit, make a layer of bread fingers and add the rest of the fruit.
Cover with bread, place saucer on top and press down well with a heavy weight.
Leave in refrigerator for 24 hours to allow bread to absorb juice of fruit and to get firm.
Turn out very carefully onto dish and decor- ate with whipped cream.
Cut into slices to serve.

Diaz and his colleagues applied the PapGene test to samples from ovarian and endometrial cancers of about 20 women with each type at Johns Hopkins and three other institutions, detecting both early and late-stage disease in both cancers tested.
The test -- which is years away from being available clinically -- would cost less than $100 and perhaps substantially less in several years after more research has been completed, Diaz said, adding that he'd like follow-up studies to include hundreds of women.
Another expert said the findings are "exciting" and indicate that the test has potential.
"Ovarian cancer is really the cancer we have no way of screening for, and no early symptoms, so anything we can do to allow us to pick it up early is very exciting," said Dr. Diana Contreras, director of gynecologic oncology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y. "And certainly a test that can be done easily and cheaply is very exciting."
Abnormal bleeding in postmenopausal women is one way uterine cancer can be detected before reaching advanced stages. But ovarian cancer typically presents with vague symptoms easily mistaken for other conditions, making early detection extremely difficult.
Therefore, even a screening test detecting ovarian cancer 40 percent of the time it's present -- especially with no false-positive results -- is superior to what's available, Diaz and Contreras said.
"I think this study says the test has potential," Contreras said. "We must move forward with finding an answer, because ovarian cancer is so deadly."

Hooks' Keuchel silences Midland hitters
Hooks starter throws seven scoreless innings
MIDLAND - Dallas Keuchel threw seven innings of one-hit baseball to lead the Corpus Christi Hooks to a 4-0 win at Midland on Friday night.
Keuchel lasted seven innings, giving up one hit and no runs and striking out eight without walking a batter.
Keuchel (4-5) retired the first 10 batters in order before giving up a hit to Tyler Ladendorf in the fourth inning.
By the time he gave up that hit, the Hooks had spotted him a two-run lead.
In the first inning, Jimmy Paredes singled with one out and quickly came around to score on Jose Altuve's double to make it 1-0.
The Hooks struck again in the second when James Van Ostrand hit a solo homer with two outs.
Corpus Christi added a pair in the fifth. Van Ostrand led off the inning with a single to center and stole second base.
With one out, Jonathan Villar moved him over to third on a ground ball to the right side. Van Ostrand came in to score on a wild pitch. Paredes followed with a single, stole second base and moved to third on a wild pitch.
Altuve brought him home with a single to give the Hooks a 4-0 lead.
That lead was more than enough for the Hooks.
After Keuchel's seven innings of work, Sammy Gervacio came on to work two scoreless innings.
Gervacio allowed three hits, struck out two and didn't walk a batter in his relief appearance.

2006 GMC Envoy Q&A
2006 GMC Envoy Question: losing oil
Needs one to two quarts every 1500-2000 miles. No leak on ground. Why am I burning so much oil? - golfdiva
Answer 1
Is it possible that the oil is really dirty and you are just adding new oil to dirty oil? Running with dirty oil will cause high oil consumption, also running with dirty oil will cause the piston rings to stick and consume oil. If the oil is dirty, get it changed and see if that helps the oil consumption. If you are driving hard, it would be normal to use a quart in 1000 miles but that's still a little high. If the engine has been overheated, it's possible that the piston rings are collapsed which would cause high oil consumption. I recommend you check your oil more often than 1500 to 2000 miles, check it every time you fill the gas tank because you're going to run out of oil and ruin the engine if it consumes oil and you don't check it until it needs 2 quarts.. - Superbob
