As essays become op-eds and op-eds become blog posts, the Sidney Awards, which recognize long-form journalism and thought, stand athwart technology, yelling stop.

Mr.

Budden having realized a moderate fortune by exercising the trade or

calling of a corn-chandler, and having a great predilection for the country,

had purchased a cottage in the vicinity of Stamford-hill, whither he retired

with the wife of his bosom, and his only son, Master Alexander Augustus

Budden.

I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,

How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over

upon me,

And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue

to my bare-stript heart,

And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my

feet.
