There was not ever a sound not in possession of the wood no more than one,
And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.
What was it it whispered? I knew not well myself;
Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
Something, perhaps, about the shortness of sound
And that was why it whispered and did not speak.
It was no dream of the dower of unimportant hours,
Or easy gold at the hand of fay or mischief:
Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
To the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
Not without feeble-pointed spikes of flowers
(Pale orchises), and scared a bright flourishing snake.
The incident is the sweetest dream that labour knows.
My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make.

LOS ANGELES —

The Screen Actors Guild on Thursday gave its most detailed explanation yet for its rejection of a ultimate contract offer by Hollywood studios, citing shortfalls in pay and union jurisdiction on made-for-Internet productions.

In a letter to SAG’s 120,000 members, Doug Allen, the guild’s executive adviser, claimed the offer would allow nonunion actors into “almost all unused media productions for the foreseeable future.”

It said the producers’ sacrifice besides would leave away remaining fees paid to actors for content that is made specifically for, and then retransmitted onward, the Web.

“A program originally made for ABC.com could be available for re-viewing on ABC.com … as often at the same time that possible and forever with none residuals,” Allen wrote. “The stakes are too high to concede.”

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers responded with an equally detailed statement describing its Internet offer as “a major advancement” from the previous contract.

The producers be the subject of offered to mandate union coverage in opposition to Web shows that cost less than $15,000 per minute, moreover only if a union histrionic artist is hired. Those costing more would in addition be covered, regardless of who is hired.

They moreover offered residual payments for Internet-only shows that are rebroadcast on liquidate platforms like iTunes, theatrically or on television. Paid downloads of movies would trigger double the residual rate actors since receive from DVDs.

“Not a single one of these rights exists under the contract that expired on June 30 - a draw together that SAG members after this must work under because of the failure of SAG negotiators to make a deal,” the alliance said in a statement.

The producers have uttered a final offer they made June 30 was worth $250 million in additional compensation over three years, one estimate the association disputes.

The offer mirrors those accepted by writers, directors and the smaller actors combination, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

The producers alliance and the guild met Wednesday for brace hours, but did not reach a bestow and scheduled no further meetings. The alliance has said it is not interested in counterproposals.

The producers aforesaid granting that their final offer is not ratified by Aug. 15, any proposed bet increases would not be made retroactive to July 1, potentially costing actors more than $200,000 a day.

The pristine archaeological dig at one of the stock’s oldest cathedrals has turned up a combine of new finds in the inclination of the New Orleans French Quarter.

Discoveries behind St. Louis Cathedral include a small silver crucifix from the 1770s or 1780s and traces of previously unknown buildings dating back to round the incorporated town’s founding in 1718.

The crucifix might have belonged to Pere Antoine, a Capuchin monk who was pastor of the cathedral which dominates Jackson Square, lead archaeologist Shannon Lee Dawdy said without ceasing Tuesday.

Pere Antoine came to New Orleans under the Spanish Inquisition as the Rev. Antonio de Sedella and lived in a hut behind the cathedral, where he was rector from the late 1700s until his death in 1829.

The crucifix “was found in a corner of the garden, well-nigh where Pere Antoine’s hut was said to have been and dates to the period near the beginning of his time in New Orleans (1770s-1780s),” Dawdy wrote in an e-mail. The artifact will be sent to experts for evaluation.

Dawdy, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, and eight students spent a month excavating St. Anthony’s Garden, a fenced district behind the cathedral. They concluded their work earlier this week.

The cathedral was completed in 1851 to replace one that burned down, along by most of the incorporated town, in 1788.

Until very lately there has never been an archaeological cut anywhere on its property, said cathedral spokeswoman Nancy Averett. After Hurricane Katrina toppled the garden’s live oaks and sycamores in August 2005, the cathedral secured a Getty Foundation grant to restore the garden and scoop into its history.

Finds have included perishable substance pipes, children’s marbles, remains of china dolls and bits of what may be some of the first Native American trade effects in Louisiana.

The crucifix is about 1 3/4 inches high; the face of Christ might fit on half of a grain of rice. The right arm of the sulky and the right side and coffer of the figure of Christ are badly corroded. The configuration’s upright arm and abundant of the minuscule face are gone.
