Our editorial method is informed by social-text editing principles. By “text” we mean verbal and visual printed material, including non-referential physical elements such as bindings, page layouts, and ornaments. We view any text as the outcome of collaborative processes that have specific manifestations at precise historical moments. The Yellow Nineties Online publishes facsimile editions of a select collection of fin-de- siècle aesthetic periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception such as cover designs, advertising materials, and reviews. This historical material is enhanced by two kinds of peer-reviewed scholarly commentary: biographies of the periodicals’ contributors and associates; and critical introductions to each title and volume by experts in the field. All scholarly material on the site is vetted by the editor(s) and peer- reviewed by them and/or an international board of advisors. The site as a whole is peer- reviewed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship). Contributors to the site retain personal copyright in their material. The site is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license. Both primary and secondary materials, including all visual images, are marked up in TEI- (Textual-Encoding Initiative) compliant XML (Extensible Markup Language). To ensure maximum flexibility for users, magazines are available on the site as virtual objects (facsimiles) in FlipBook form; in HTML for online reading; in PDF for downloading and collecting; and in XML for those who wish to review and/or adapt our tag sets. In order to make ornamental devices, such as initial letters, head- and tail- pieces, searchable, we have developed a Database of Ornament in OMEKA, and linked it to the relevant pages of each magazine edition. As a dynamic structure, a scholarly website is always in process; Phase One of The Yellow Nineties Online (2010-2015) is completed and Phase Two (2016-2021) is underway.

The Call By Norman Gale "Now she was deserted by her husband, and there was a man would die for her." THO' the mist is on the mountain, yet the sun is on the sea. Don't you hear me calling, comrade, calling you to follow me ? For my love is for your bosom, and my hand is for your hand, Don't you hear me calling, comrade ? Will you never under- stand ? Here I want you, in the country, where the cowslip nods asleep, Where the palm is by the water, where the peace is doubly deep ; Where the finches chirp at matins in a green and lovely land— Don't you hear, my thorn and blossom ? Don't you feel to under- stand ? If my voice is not melodious, lo, the thrush shall aid my voice ; Ev'ry linnet in the orchard has a trill to praise my choice : Shall I bide a barren singer in this valley full of mist, Unennobled, unattended, wanting you, and all unkissed ? Oceans By Norman Gale 281 Oceans part us, leagues divide us ; but our spirits know a link ; Why should you not come, my dearest, thinking warmly as you think ? Must I call you by a singing who should call you by my soul, Call you by a part, beloved, who should call you by the whole ? By this pear-tree robed for bridal, by the sun and by the dew, By the nightingale that tells me midnight melodies of you, By the virgin streamlet flowing ever faithful to its spouse, Here I set my heart before you, promise of a happy house ! Is your blood the blood of battle ? Have you courage for the fight ? Can the lane content you always with its barren and its bright ? Do you feel the glow of mating in the heart where I would be, When you hear me calling, calling, calling you to come to me ? Well I know my spirit travels over meadowland and steep, Soon its whisper in your tresses will arouse my dove from sleep ; 'Tis a message calls to daring, 'tis a voice that bids you wake— Let it fall as balm upon you, balm to help the strong heart-break. Come at once o'er mead and mountain, sending first that ghostly cheer Felt by souls that kiss together tho' no earthly lips are near ; Bring my country Heaven, dearest, finer fruit and sweeter dew, Bring across the leagues that part us all the honey, love, of you. Take me, trust me. Stars may fail us, friends may leave us. What is this ? God shall watch us plight together with, as only priest, a kiss. If 282 The Call If we lose we also gain, for life is chance, and chances blend— Are you coming to the valley ? Answer thro' the darkness, friend. I am standing in the valley ; slumber takes your golden head, But my spirit flies to stir you in the whiteness of your bed— In that garden where are clustered in the keeping of the south All the lilies of your bosom, and the rosebud of your mouth. Don't you hear me calling, comrade, don't you hear me calling sweet, For the fragrance of your coming and the freedom of your feet ? O, my love is for your loving, and my help is for your hand— Don't you hear me calling, comrade? Will you never under- stand ?
