	George Bell Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Bell Swift (born: December 14, 1845; died: July 2, 1912; buried in Rosehill Cemetery) served as mayor of Chicago, Illinois (1893; 1895-1897) for the Republican Party.

	johnson_on_swift.html
		Swift, who probably was proud of his employment, and went with all the confidence of a young man, found his arguments, and his art of displaying them, made totally ineffectual by the pre-determination of the King; and used to mention this disappointment as his first antidote against vanity.
		Swift began early to think, or to hope, that he was a poet, and wrote Pindarick Odes to Temple, to the King, and to the Athenian Society, a knot of obscure men, who published a periodical pamphlet of answers to questions, sent, or supposed to be sent, by Letters.
		Swift was then in England, and had been invited by Lord Bolingbroke to pass the winter with him in France ; but this call of calamity hastened him to Ireland, where perhaps his presence contributed to restore her to imperfect and tottering health.

	Edgewater Historical Society - Swift School Celebrates 75 Years (V01-4)
		The school was named for George Bell Swift, who became the 30th mayor of Chicago in 1893 after the untimely death of Mayor Carter Harrison.
		Swift's first principal was Harriet A. Eckhardt who, according to EHS member Frances Posner, "intensely tested pupil abilities and divided classes according to learning aptitudes." She was succeeded by Hattie Listenfelt, Eileen Cunningham and Jean Kenning.
		Frances Posner fondly recalls Swift's Thorndale garden of flowering apple trees and the tall blue pine in the center ring of the winding walkways, which was planted by child and parent subscriptions.

	Jonathan Swift - "BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION" by W.E.H. Lecky
		Swift was very fond of the society of ladies, and he made many strong and lasting female friendships, but, as he has himself said, and as appears most abundantly, both from his writings and from his life, he was constitutionally unsusceptible to passion.
		Whiteway, the niece of Swift, is said to have informed one of his relations that Stella was carried shortly before her death to the deanery, and being very feeble was laid upon a bed, while Swift sat by the side, holding her hand and addressing her in the most affectionate terms.
		Swift welcomed the change with delight, and one of its first results was the concession by Harley of that boon to the Irish clergy which Swift had been so long vainly seeking to extort from the Whigs.

		The swift wheel of fortune, which continually alternates adversity with prosperity, was giving Bellona the Furies for her allies, and arming her for war; and now transferred our disasters to the east, as many presages and portents foreshowed by undoubted signs.
		For after many true prophecies uttered by diviners and augurs, dogs were seen to recoil from howling wolves, and the birds of night constantly uttered querulous and mournful cries; and lurid sunrises made the mornings dark.

	Beckett - Stewart's "Samuel Beckett and Jonathan Swift"
		Swift, by contrast, holds himself aloof from his protagonist and likens him to the human beings whom he (Swift) is chastising (on return from his last voyage Gulliver hates himself almost as much as he hates his fellow men and women).
		Swift, on the other hand, is more comfortable with longer passages in which the barbs of his satire are unleashed at the end of a slow and patient preparation.
		Georges Bataille was the first to draw attention to this mythical quality in Beckett when he said that Molloy was a “monstrous myth, emerging from the sleep of reason,” and others have further developed his arguments.

		Whether in those early days and in Ireland, the host was really made of barley, and whether "hordys" was a name given to some kind of barley-cake then in vogue, or (supposing my suggestion to be well founded) a word coined for the occasion, may perhaps be worthy of investigation.
