Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress (1838)
Cuaprpn
II
TREers op OltvBR Twst's GRowtu, EpucerIoN, AND Boann
For the next eight or ten months, Oliver was the victim of a systematic course of treachery and
deception. He was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan
was duly reported by the workhouse authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities
inquired with dignity
of the workhouse authorities, whether there was no female
then
domiciled in 'the house' who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation and
nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhouse authorities replied with humility, that
o
there was not. Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved, that
Oliver should be 'farmed,' or, in other words, that he should be dispatched
to a branch-
workhouse some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile offenders against the
poor-laws rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too
much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the
culprits at and for the consideration
of
sevenpence-halfpenny per small head per week.
Sevenpence-halfpenny's worth per week is a good round diet
got for
sever-rpence-haiipenny,
for a child; a great deal may
be
quite enough to overload its stomach, and make it
uncomfortable. The elderly female was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what
was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself.
So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the
o
rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them
Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental
philosopher. f...1
It
cannot be expected that this system of farming would produce any very extraordinary or
luxuriant crop. Oliver Twist's ninth birthday found him a pale thin child, somewhat diminutive
in stature, and decidedly small in circumference, But nature or inheritance had implanted a
good sturdy spirit in Oliver's breast. It had had plenty of room to expand, thanks to the spare
diet of the establishment; and perhaps to this circumstance may be attributed his having any
ninth birthclay at
all Be this as it may, however, it rvas his ninth birthday; and he was keeping it
in the coal-cellar with a select party of two other
yoLrng gentlemen,
who, a{ler participating
with hinr in a souncl thrashing, had becn lockecl up lor atrocioLrsly presuming to be hungry,
when Mls. Mann, the goocl lady of the house, was unexpectedty starlled by tire apparition of
Mr. Br-rrlble, the beadle, striving to undo the wicket of the garden-gate.

Thema Nr" 2
Der Textabschnitt findet sich im zweiten Akt des Dramas: Die Handlung spielt am Morgen der Hochzeit von George und Emily. George hat soeben das Haus seiner kiinftigen Schwiegereltern verlassen,
als der stage manager auftritt und die Szene unterbricht.
Thomton Wilder, Our Town,New York: Coward-McCann, 1938, S. 69 ff.
MRS. WEBB:Now, George, I'm sorry, but I've got to send you away so that Emily can come down and
get some breakfast. She told me to tell you that she sends you her love but that she doesn't want to lay
eyes onyou. So good-bye, George.
GEORGE crosses the stage to his own home and disappears.
MR. WEBB: Myrtle, I guess you don't know about that older superstition.
MRS. WEBB: Whttt do you mean, Charles?
MR. WEBB: Since the cave-men:the groom shouldn't be left alone with his father-in-law on the day of
the wedding, or near it. Now don't forget that!
STAGE MANAGER: Thank you. Thank you, everybody.
Now I have to intemrpt again here. You see, we want to know how all this began,-this wedding, this
plan to spend a lifetime together. I'm awfully interested in how big things like that begin.
You know how it is: you're twenty-one or twenty-two and you make some decisions; then whisssh!
you're seventy: you've been a lawyer for fiffy years, and that white-haired lady at your side has eaten
over fifly thousand meals with you.
How do such things begin?
George and Emily are going to show you now the conversation they had when they first knew
that...that...as the saying goes...they were meant for one another. But before they do it I want you to
try and remember what it was like when you were young, when you were fifteen or sixteen. For some
reason it is very hard to do: those days when even the little things in life could be almost too exciting
to bear.
And particularly the days when you were first in love; when you were like a person sleep-walking,
and you didn't quite see the street you were in, and didn't quite hear everything that was said to you.
You're just a little bit cra-ry.Will you remember that, please?
Now they'll be coming out of High School at three o'clock. George has just been elected President
of the Junior Class, and as it's June, that means he'll be President of the Senior Class all nextyear.
And Emily's just been elected Secretary and Treasurer.
I don't have to tell you how important that is.
He places a board across the backs of two chairs, parallel to the footlights, and places two high
stools behind il. This is the counter ofMR. MORGAN'S drugstore.

THE DARKLING THRUSH
I leant upon a coppice gate
'l7hen
Frosc was specrre-gray,
And Wincer's dregs made desolace
The weakening eye ol day.
The tangled bine-stems scored rhe sky
Like srrings of lrroken Iyres,
And all mankind rhac haunred nigh
Had sought rheir household fires.
o
The land's sharp fearures seemed ro be
The Cenrury's corpse ourleanr,
His crypc rhe cloudy canopy,
The wind his dearh-lamenr.
The ancienr pulse of germ and birrh
'Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
t0
Tuolr,rs [{annr.
Ar once a voice arose among
The bleak rwigs overhead
In a lull-hearred evcnsong
Of joy illimired;
An aged rhrush, frail, gaunt, and
In blasr-beruffled plume,
Had choscn thus to fiing his soul
Upon che growing gloom.

Of such ecsratic sound
\Was wrirten on rerresrrial rhings
Afar or nigh around,
That I could rhink rhere trembled rhrough
His happy good-nighr air
So

Some blessed Hope, whereof he kuew
And I was uuaware.
