Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice" by Julia
ANarez.
When my sisters and I cared too much about our
appearance, my mother would tell us how Trujillo's
vanity knew no bounds. How in order to appear taller,
his shoes were specially made abroad with built-in
heels that added inches to his height. How plumes for
his Napoleonic hats were purchased in Paris and
shipped in vacuum-packed boxes to the Island. How
his uniforms were trimmed with tassels and gold
epaulettes and red sashes, pinned with his medals,
crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself in
dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white gloves-
all of this in a tropical country where men wore
guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets, short-sleeved shirts
worn untucked so the body could be ventilated. My
mother could go on and on.

[The porter] followed the servant into a vast room, where a great company was seated round a table covered with all sorts of delicacies. In the place of honor sat a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air. Behind his chair stood a crowd of attendants eager to minister to his wants. This was the famous Sindbad himself. The porter, more than ever alarmed at the sight of so much magnificence, tremblingly saluted the noble company. Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.

Sonnet XII


by William Shakespeare


When I do count the clock that tells the time,

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

When I behold the violet past prime,

And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves

Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

And summer's green all girded up in sheaves

Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,

Then of thy beauty do I question make,

That thou among the wastes of time must go,

Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake

And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

What’s the difference between there and their

But on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep
they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting, – while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it –
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
holding our beach, although so far outnumbered
