For Barbara Peters and Robert Rosenwald,
who made my stories possible
At last he (Béla Bartók) smelled the fresh air again, saw the sky, felt
the soil…the constantly tormenting screams of the auto horns and
police sirens were drowned in memory by the concert of birds.
—Music publisher Hans Heinsheimer on composer Béla Bartók’s stay
in Asheville, North Carolina
Mr. Grove says it is natural that people should yield to the holder
of the Patent, for, if
“I had at one time great doubts about it, but things have
arrived at a dead lock. The Courts now really cannot try these
cases. We have at these very sittings three Patent cases
made remanets because they cannot be tried; they interfere
too much with other business. We have at this moment going
on a Patent trial which is now in its fourth day. We have had
within, I think, a week another trial of a Patent, which lasted
seven, and a third which lasted five days. During the time that
these Patent cases have been going on there have been
heavy Patent arbitrations going on, two of which I can speak
to myself; one, I think, lasted seventeen days, and the other,
which involved a very simple issue, lasted six or seven days.
Those arbitrations went on contemporaneously, and the
cases were obliged to be tried by arbitration because the
Courts could not try them; it would have occupied too much
public time. While these cases have been going on several
Patent cases have been also ready for argument in banco,
and one has been postponed.”
“Is it not the case that such possessor could refuse you a
licence, and so prevent you from making the improvements
altogether?—Certainly he could.”
So Mr. Newton:—
“As the sailor with his pockets full is a prey to the crimps, so
is a ship-contractor a prey to Patent-mongers—patent
windlasses, patent reefing apparatus, patent blocks, patent
rudders, patent chain-lifters, patent capstans, patent steering
gear, patent boat-lowering apparatus, patent paints, and
numberless others, all attempting to hook on to the poor
contractor. This would be no grievance, were we not aware
that most of them are patent humbugs.”
