AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS
"You can do anything you please. It's the way it's done
that makes the difference." — Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, by birth half French
and half Irish, by nature and training American,
came to this country at his mother's breast in
1848 when six months old. His father, Bernard
Paul Ernest Saint-Gaudens, was born in the little
village of Aspet in the south of France. There
he learned his trade of shoemaker, and thence he
slowly travelled by way of Paris and London to
Dublin, Ireland, where he met his future wife,
Mary McGuiness, who bound slippers in the
shoe store for which he made boots. On arriving
in New York this hot-headed, eccentric French
man, to the detriment of his trade, developed in
finitely more interest in organizing Fraternal So
cieties than in selling shoes. Consequently from
the first, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the third of
five sons, took part in the family struggle for a
livelihood. Until the age of thirteen the youngster re
ceived the ordinary education of the New York
boy of 1850. Those were the days of lickings at
the hands of his teacher, and of fights with the
West Broadway "gang;" and the struggle with
these elements shaped the energy which lasted
him through life. Yet despite his prosaic sur-
[7]

roundings his artistic inclinations took shape
early. They originated with the representation
of soldiers upon a school slate. They emerged
through charcoal-scrawled drawings upon the
neighboring walls. And finally they were recog
nized by Dr. Rea Agnew, a customer of Bernard
Saint-Gaudens, who found such merit in the
young man's sketches that he urged the father to
continue his son's education in this direction.
In consequence the boy was apprenticed to a
hard-tempered man named Avet, one of the first
stone cameo cutters in America, who led Au
gustus a miserable life for the next few years.
At the same time the boy entered the drawing
school of the Cooper Institute. There he studied
evenings until, in 1864, he revolted at the ill na
ture of his employer, and, upon being dis
charged, obtained a position with a more kindly
master, Jules Le Brethon, and at about the same
time left the Cooper Union to work from the life
in the National Academy of Design.
This period of Saint-Gaudens' youth passed
in the excitement of the days of the Civil War.
From his window he looked down upon the
New England Volunteers marching along
Broadway, in the city squares he witnessed the
recruiting; and these sights, combined with a
glimpse of Lincoln driving through the city,
stirred his blood with that strong but restrained
patriotism which finally he fused into his monu
ments of Farragut, Lincoln, Shaw, Logan and
Sherman. But the New York life came to an end in 1867,
when his father made possible for him a trip
[8]

abroad. The young man went at once to Paris,
where, though still earning his living by cutting
cameos, he studied first at the Petite Ecole and
later under Jouffroy in the Ecole des Beaux
Arts. His master at that time led a revolt
against the bloodless classicism of the period.
Yet as the teacher never gave radical vent to his
theories, so through later life the pupil tempered
by a steadying restraint his desire for individual
expression. In Paris Saint-Gaudens, a cheerful, athletic
youth, made his two great friends who stood
close to him all his life, M. Paul Bion and M.
Alfred Gamier. Because of their friendship
he nearly enlisted in the French army when the
war with Prussia broke out. But a tearful letter
from his mother changed his plans, so that in
stead he went to Rome, where, for about four
years, he struggled with poverty and debts in
his efforts to complete his training. At last, how
ever, the cameo-cutting brought him a few lucky
commissions from the family of Mr. Montgom
ery Gibbs, and gave Saint-Gaudens an oppor
tunity to finish his first statue of "Hiawatha," to
execute his first ordered monument, a figure of
"Silence," and to go back to America with some
prospect of definite work.
The young man's career in the United States
did not stretch out before him immediately in
any such straight and easy manner as he may
have expected. First one hope and then another
fell through, though an occasional small task
like that of the relief of Mr. D. Maitland Arm
strong came to his hands. But at last, after
[9]

steady persistence, he obtained the order for the
Farragut statue now in Madison Square, New
York. From that day his position was assured,
and soon he secured the opportunity to aid Mr.
John LaFarge by modelling the sculpture for
that painter's scheme of "Angels Adoring the
Cross" in St. Thomas' Church on Fifth Avenue.
So then, after founding the Society of American
Artists with a number of other young men, and
after his long-delayed marriage to Miss Augusta
F. Homer, he went back to Paris to carry out
his work.
There in Paris he completed the Farragut and
the Adoring Angels, though these larger com
missions did not represent the only important
step which he took at the time. He had long
been interested in the subject of Renaissance re
liefs and medals, such as those by Pisano, and
Mr. LaFarge had already urged him to try his
hand at like efforts. Accordingly, here, at last,
he found an opportunity to begin upon a series
of medallions, which, through life, he developed
with marked interest, among them those of Mr.
William Gedney Bunce, Mr. Charles F. Mc-
Kim, Mr. George W. Maynard, and especially
that of M. Bastien Lepage.
At last, with the completion of the Farragut,
Saint-Gaudens definitely returned to New York
to take up his well-established career as an Am
erican sculptor. For a time he lived in the Sher
wood Studios at the corner of 57th Street and
Sixth Avenue. But soon he found a building at
148 West Thirty-sixth Street which he altered to
his taste. There he continued to model for the
[10]

next fifteen years, starting with the angels for
the tomb of Ex-Governor Morgan, a monument
which was burned in the cemetery while in pro
cess of carving.
Here, too, in the Thirty-sixth Street studio,
Saint-Gaudens gathered about him the friends
of his life; such men as Mr. Stanford White,
Mr. Charles F. McKim, Mr. Joseph Wells, and
Mr. Thomas W. Dewing. Here, Mr. H. H.
Richardson, the Boston architect, brought Bish
op Phillips Brooks whenever the two men vis
ited New York, giving the sculptor the oppor
tunity of meeting the preacher, a monument to
whom was to be one of his last completed works.
And here, as a boy to study art and to sweep the
floors, came Frederick William MacMonnies.
Saint-Gaudens had always been a lover of the
theater and of music. Now he found others who
resembled him in their enthusiasm. Therefore,
first this group, as well as Mr. Francis Lathrop,
formed the habit of going to a little beer saloon
on the East side of Broadway, opposite Wash
ington Place, to listen to programmes furnished
them by the peculiar combination of a violin,
a clarinet and a piano. Then they employed the
musicians to come on Sunday afternoons to the
Thirty-sixth Street studio. And, a little later,
they developed more ambitious concerts, which
were held there weekly during the winters,
while the studio remained in Saint-Gaudens'
hands. The intimacy with Mr. Richardson, which
sprang up rapidly, led to Saint-Gaudens receiv
ing the order for the monument to Colonel Rob-

ert Gould Shaw, which stands in front of the
State House in Boston. On first consideration,
the artist planned a modest relief, but, during
the fourteen years devoted to it, the composition
became a labor of love which consumed more of
the sculptor's energy than he ever put into any
other commission. The work upon the scaffold
ing before the Shaw during the hot summers,
with scarcely a pause to eat an apple for lunch,
undoubtedly hastened the breakdown of Saint-
Gaudens' health. Yet, on the other hand, the
monument furnished him with much amusement
— an amusement which he invariably obtained
from his art — both through the antics of the
horse which posed for him, and through the very
difficulties he encountered in hiring negro mod
els, who persisted in believing the studio to be
the den of a devil of vivisection.
Along in this early period, too, came the Lin
coln for Chicago, provided for in the will of
Mr. Eli Bates, and the relief of Dr. James Mc-
Cosh for Princeton, New Jersey. In the case of
the Lincoln the committee first asked Saint-
Gaudens to compete. But upon his refusing,
according to his principle, he received the order
outright and eventually produced the gaunt,
thoughtful figure now so well known.
The statue to Deacon Samuel Chapin, popu
larly known as "The Puritan," followed the Lin
coln. It has since acquired especial interest, as
in 1903 the New England Society of Pennsyl
vania commissioned the sculptor to make for
Philadelphia a variation of the first work, and
so therein Saint-Gaudens obtained one of his
[12]

few opportunities of modifying his earlier ef
forts in accordance with his later ideas. The
head he changed from the round Gaelic face of
Chapin to a long New England profile, more
typical of the austere forefather, while the folds
of the cloak, the Bible and the base, he also al
tered to an extent.
After the Chapin statue, Mr. Henry Adams
ordered the figure for the Rock Creek Cemetery
in Washington. In giving the commission, Mr.
Adams would only suggest that Saint-Gaudens
consult with Mr. LaFarge, who thoroughly un
derstood Mr. Adams' oriental thoughts. There
fore, the sculptor carried out his task as well as
he could with the advice of the painter, and ulti
mately, it seems, satisfied the wishes of Mr.
Adams. Though there have been a variety of
names accorded the result, Saint-Gaudens rarely
expressed himself on the subject.
During this time, while engaged upon the
Rock Creek figure, Saint-Gaudens, at the sug
gestion of his friend, Mr. C. C. Beaman, first
visited Cornish, New Hampshire. There, soon
afterwards, he bought an old brick tavern, which
he altered into a summer home. And there, six
teen years later, he went to live permanently,
much to the benefit of his last days.
About that date also, in 1887, the sculptor met
Robert Louis Stevenson through Mr Will H.
Low, an intimate mutual friend. The author
and the sculptor at once admired one another,
and the medallion, which has since assumed so
many forms, Saint-Gaudens modelled in the
Hotel Albert in Eleventh Street, Stevenson
[13]

propped up in bed and his wife reading aloud.
Only five sittings of two or three hours apiece
could be obtained then, though later Saint-
Gaudens had further opportunity when Steven
son lived at Manisquan, New Jersey.
Shortly after this Saint-Gaudens set at model
ling the figure for the "Smith" tomb in New
port, Rhode Island, from which he developed
the better-known "Amor Caritas." The first
variation is now in the Luxembourg, Paris,
while a second stands as a memorial to the
daughter of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell in St. Ste
phen's Church, Philadelphia.
In 1892, when the idea for the World's Fair
had reached definite form, Saint-Gaudens, at the
invitation of Mr. Daniel H. Burnham, went to
Chicago with Mr. Richard M. Hunt, Mr.
Charles F. McKim and others, as one of the
Committee on the laying-out of the grounds.
This was about the first of a long series of like
tasks which the sculptor undertook through his
life, hoping in such a way to aid the cause of art
in his country. Mr. Burnham desired that Saint-
Gaudens model a share of the sculpture. But
the latter had so many calls upon him that he
gave his personal attention only to the figure of
Columbus in front of the Administration Build
ing, which he carried out with the able assistance
of Mrs. Francois M. L. Tonetti, then Miss Mary
Lawrence, and to the Exposition Medal, of
which he designed the obverse. Upon the re
verse of the Medal he originally modelled a
nude boy, which raised a feminine hue and cry.
At first he tried to satisfy this in a number of
[14]

ways, but failing, he relinquished the attempt in
disgust. The statue of Peter Cooper now took the place
of the Rock Creek Cemetery figure upon the
scaffolding behind the Shaw relief, which
seemed almost a fixture. On the top floor of a
large stable in Twentieth Street, the sculptor be
gan one monument to General Logan for the
Lake Front in Chicago, and another to Presi
dent James A. Garfield for Fairmount Park,
Philadelphia. While in a third and smaller
studio, Saint-Gaudens modelled the horse of the
Sherman from the famous high jumper Ontario,
began the figure for the Sherman Victory from
the woman whom he always considered to be the
handsomest model he had ever seen, and finished
with great interest his bas-relief of Mr. William
Dean Howells and his daughter, Miss Mildred
Howells. Before turning from his life in New York,
mention should be made of Saint-Gaudens'
teaching at the Art Students' League. His work
there held a firm place in his thoughts. Again
and again in later years he said regarding it that
he always had felt surprised to see that for the
most part women learned more readily than
men, and that they copied what stood before
them with greater facility, but that in the end
the men made the further progress and com
posed and created to more purpose.
During these last years, however, the sculp
tor's nervousness increased startlingly through
overwork. Also he became anxious to compare
what he had done with the sculpture recognized
[i5]

in Europe. So, as the unveiling of the Logan
and the Shaw allowed him to shift his studio
paraphernalia, he left for Paris, in October,
1897. There he hired a studio in a quiet, gar
den-like alley at 3 bis Rue de Bagneux, where
he remodelled the Sherman cloak, the figure of
the Victory and variations of the Stevenson for
St. Giles Church in Edinburgh, and where he
began his studies for the figures of the Boston
Public Library.
For some time Saint-Gaudens seemed un
happy and neurasthenic. But after a trip to his
father's birthplace with his old friend M. Alfred
Garnier, he returned in better spirits and took
up his life in Paris and his intimacy with Dr.
Henry Shiff and those others he had known so
well in younger days. He said later that the
three men who to him stood out before all the
rest at that time were James MacNeill Whistler,
Paul Dubois and Auguste Rodin. Saint-Gaud
ens regarded Paul Dubois' Joan of Arc as one of
the greatest statues in the world. But Whistler
in person most attracted the sculptor. For the
painter came often to the studio in the evening
and chatted with his usual wit, or accompanied
Saint-Gaudens and his friends to their dinner at
Foyot's, an old cafe opposite the Luxembourg.
So with such surroundings, with the gay life of
the Parisian spring, with the benefit of a trip or
two in Spain, and with the success accorded him
by the French after his exhibitions in Paris he
regained his buoyancy, until suddenly he learned
that he was ill and must go home.
Saint-Gaudens' return to America in 1900
[16]

marked the last period of his life, a period which
he spent for the most part in Cornish, New
Hampshire. There he completed, besides lesser
commissions, his monuments to Sherman, Lin
coln, Brooks and the Caryatids for the Albright
Art Gallery in Buffalo; and there he renewed
his thoughts upon the groups to go before the
Boston Public Library. At this time, too, his
attention turned more than ever before toward
helping the cause of American Art. Two ob
jects is especial interested him to a tremendous
extent. One was the founding in Rome of the
American Academy to be devoted to the Fine
Arts, much in the same manner as the Villa
Medici School has been devoted by the French
Government. The other was the artistic devel
opment of the National Capitol at Washington ;
where, in connection with the Park Commission,
he spent much time and gave the best of his as
sistance in criticism and advice toward establish
ing on an even firmer basis the beauty of that
city. Luckily, although ill, he continued his
work for longer than expected, because of his
life in the open air. Skating, skeeing and golf
he kept up while his health held out. And, at
last, when he no longer could walk, he would sit
by the hour upon one of the porches, or he would
have himself carried from studio to studio in an
improvised Sedan chair.
His first serious occupation lay in the comple
tion of the Sherman monument, which he modi
fied from the model exhibited in Paris, studying
the bronze after it had been set up in the field
back of the house and changing it even then. On
[17]

the Sherman, also, he gratified his ambition to
follow the example set by the statue of Marcus
Aurelius on the Capitoline Hill in Rome and to
gild an equestrian monument. For, as he ex
pressed it, he was "sick of seeing statues look like
stove pipes."
Second in importance to him, he had by him
in his studio the studies for the Boston Public
Library Groups, constantly turning over the
question of their development. One pedestal
would have borne four figures symbolic of Exec
utive Power, Law and Love. Upon the other
base he planned three figures of Science, Labor
and Music. For his own purpose, the studies
were ready to be completed, and if he had lived
be would have finished them in short order.
They had long been upon his conscience. Yet
to him the problem seemed so difficult, since the
figures were to stand where they would force
themselves upon the Library visitor, that he felt
unwilling to carry them through until freed
from financial considerations or the limitations
of ill health.
The "Crerar" Lincoln, also for Chicago, was
the next vital commission which he set to work
upon after the Sherman, and therein he carried
out his old desire of representing the President
seated. The first Lincoln had been a standing
figure of Lincoln the Man, and now, by way of
contrast, he wished to represent in addition a
seated Lincoln the Head of the State. There
fore, to accomplish the purpose fittingly, he took
up one of his series of endless experiments with
four-foot models, composed in varying ways
[18]

and with full-sized painted paper representa
tions of the entire composition erected out of
doors. The monument is yet to be unveiled, but
it went to the bronze founder some time before
the sculptor's death.
Another statue which Saint-Gaudens attacked
with zest at virtually this same time, was of
Charles Stuart Parnell, for Dublin, Ireland.
The artist took interest here, because, as he often
remarked, he had enough Irish in his make-up
to appreciate the character of his subject. It is
a peculiar coincidence that as few photographs
of Parnell could be found, the sculptor turned
to a series of caricatures published in Punch and
like papers during Parnell's trial. So the very
sketches drawn to attack the patriot ultimately
came to be used in his honor.
At this time, also, among his lesser commis
sions, Saint-Gaudens completed such busts as
that of the Honorable John Hay and such reliefs
as those of Mrs. C. C. Beaman, Justice Horace
Gray, the Honorable Wayne MacVeagh and his
wife, and Justice and Mrs. Stanley Matthews.
Probably the commission for the MacVeagh
family absorbed him the most. The sculptor
had often dwelt upon the strong magnetic power
of the female sex as contrasted with the domina
tion of the masculine intellect, and therefore
here delighted in giving rein to his theories. Yet
all portraits held his attention, since he thor
oughly enjoyed the peculiarities of his sitters, at
tempting habitually to shift his mental attitude
to that of the person beside him, whether it was
a hyper-sensitive woman or a rugged man.
[19]

It seems especially unfortunate, in view of his
ill-health, that upon the night of October elev
enth, 1904, his chief studio should have burned
to the ground, not only with all the sculpture in
progress, but as well with most of his portfolios
containing the records of forty years. But he
bravely set about recovering his lost ground, and
before long had his commissions again well un
der way.
Soon after this fire he returned to the Brooks
monument which he had studied since 1901, and
which he carried so far that only mechanical
enlargement and casting were needed for its
completion at the time of his death. As finished,
the figure of the preacher stands to the front of
an architectural canopy. His left hand grasps
a Bible that rests upon a lectern, his right hand
is raised in a gesture of emphasis, while the
swing of the gown and the direct look from the
head gives an atmosphere of energy and motion.
Behind the Brooks, and against a cross that rises
by his side, is a figure of Christ, half shadowed,
veiled, reposeful, who touches the preacher on
the shoulder with His right hand as if inspiring
the words to be spoken. The complete monu
ment Saint-Gaudens reached through his usual
succession of alterations. In his first efforts he
had an angel with the Brooks. Then he de
signed two figures of the Christ in relief. And
only after much thought did he decide to make
this ideal figure in the round.
Saint-Gaudens' work now drew to its close
and his final tasks included solely the designs for
three of the United States coins, the Caryatids
[20]

for the Albright Art Gallery, and the bas-relief
of his wife.
The coins he undertook at the suggestion of
President Roosevelt. But the confusion of the
carrying out of this commission often made him
regret that he had entered upon it. Finally,
however, after a discussion which lasted over a
year and a half, it was settled that the Cent
should exhibit a profile head on one side and
lettering alone on the other; that the Ten-Dollar
gold piece should carry the same head with shift
ed inscriptions and a standing eagle ; and that the
Twenty-Dollar gold piece should show a full
length figure of Liberty and a flying eagle. The
flying eagle Saint-Gaudens developed from the
bird on the 1857 white cent. The standing eagle
he re-altered from a design he had used on such
works as the Shaw Memorial, the Roosevelt in
auguration Medal and the shield of the Garfield
Monument. Seventy or more models of the bird
were to be seen in the studio waiting for the cas
ual visitor to name his preference. The profile
head Saint-Gaudens modelled in relief from an
unused bust for the Sherman Victory, while the
full length Liberty he rendered from a scheme
he had long had in mind. It is most unfortunate
that the mint did not notify the sculptor when
they abandoned the thought of a new design for
the Cent, as thereon he wasted precious hours;
while the placing of the motto "In God We
Trust," on the gold coins by other hands than
his, will still further mar a composition which
has already suffered greatly in the process of re
production. [21]

The Caryatids, his final large commission, ab
sorbed him to a tremendous degree and marked
his ultimate tendency to draw away from the
decorative in favor of the monumental. As the
building they were to adorn is large and repose
ful, the sculptor wished to reflect these qualities.
First he considered having winged figures. Then
he believed it might be well to place garlands in
their hands. Next he originated the scheme
wherein the four central Caryatids held lettered
tablets, those on the ends carrying palms. Fin
ally he decided to place palms in the hands of the
ones on the corners, while the middle figures
should bear objects which denoted Architecture,
Painting, Sculpture and Music.
The relief which he made of Mrs. Saint-
Gaudens was the last work which he touched
with his hands. The composition diverted him
greatly, as he could work on it while seated. But
his death came before he could finish it.
During the last few years Saint-Gaudens was
ill for much of the time, yet whenever pain left
him for a few hours, his courage and his hope
returned and he constantly repeated to his
friends that life became more and more worth
living as each day passed. H. ASPET.

A TRIBUTE TO
AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS
By GLENN BROWN
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the great artist of
the age, was a charming companion, a true
friend, and a citizen leading to ideal life. His
affable manner, quiet humor, quick appreciation,
broad culture, and perfect taste made his com
panionship sought and enjoyed. A sympathetic,
candid nature and high aspirations made his
friendship earnestly desired. His unselfish as
sistance to committees, institutions, and the gov
ernment has been a guiding factor toward purity
of taste and nobility of life.
His thorough equipment, sincerity of purpose,
grasp of composition, knowledge of detail, un
derstanding of mass, natural genius, brilliant im
agination, and poetic nature, combined with in
finite patience, untiring energy, and effacement
of self, have produced the greatest sculpture of
the age.
His artistic light shines in refined low relief
and bold monumental composition. The relief
portraits of Robert Louis Stevenson and Justice
Gray are exquisitely delicate, harmonious, rest
ful, dignified, and beautiful. Portrait bust have
[23]

attained a new dignity in his hands. The busts of
John Hay and David J. Hill, while full of re
pose and individual expression, possess high
sculptural value.
He has made single figures impressive, some
thing rarely accomplished. The Puritan, a work
of art in line and pose, vividly typifies the hon
est, untiring, unbending energy of the Reforma
tion. Farragut stands alert, prepared for any
emergency, serious, as the destiny of the fleet de
pends upon his action, commanding, endowed
with life and art. Lincoln, a hopeless model in
the hands of other sculptors, is a great work of
art as depicted by the mind and wrought by the
hand of Saint-Gaudens. Lincoln's kindly nature,
brotherly love, honesty of purpose, clear and far-
seeing vision, grave with the destiny of the na
tion, firm in the salvation of the Union, are
shown in these wonderful pieces of portrait
sculpture. Our admiration of Saint-Gaudens' genius
reaches the highest point when we study his
great compositions with their wonderful re
strained movement, full of life, yet dignified
and statuesque; natural, but glowing with im
agination, poetry and inspiration. The Shaw
Memorial is a great composition in relief, ideal
in its sense of movement, natural in its depiction
of types, and imaginative in its expression of
sentiment. A spiritual figure which inspires the
group to deeds of bravery and self-renunciation
makes this memorial a brilliant and satisfactory
combination of the ideal and real. The Sherman
statue, guided by the spirit of victory and peace,
[24]

vividly portrays the sense of motion — positive,
resistless, forward motion. This is one of the
great compositions of the world, full of realism,
imagination and poetry, happily combined,
graceful in all its lines, dignified and imposing,
restrained and beautiful.
It is fitting that Saint-Gaudens, one of the im
mortals, should have conceived the poetic, mys
terious, and elevating figure of immortality
which rests calmly for evermore in Rock Creek
Cemetery, an expression of his genius, imagina
tion, poetry, and eternal fame.

Note. The original monument stands at the northeast corner
of Madison Square Garden, New York City. The stone ped

seat is raised three steps from the level of the park, and the
space about its foot is paved with pebbles in which a bronze
crab is sunk. The inscription which completes the decoration
of the stone seat-back reads in part as follows :

is represented at work upon the relief portrait of William

of one of the Vanderbilt caryatids. A cast of the "Un
known Lady'' of the Louvre stands beyond. Next is the
bronze relief of Homer Saint-Gaudens as an infant, and

A PHOTOGRAPH OF AUGUSTUS
SAINT-GAUDENS AT ABOUT
SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE
Lent by Miss Lucille A. Le Brethon.
Note. The following is a transcription of an explanatory
letter addressed to the Secretary of the Saint-Gaudens
Memorial Exhibition by Miss Lucile A. Le Brethon:
I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th, and delayed answer
ing, as I wished to procure from my niece, Mrs. Arnold
Moser, 214 East 15th Street, a topaz cameo, the very first
piece of work made by Augustus Saint-Gaudens under my
father's tuition. The onyx cameo which I am also sending
you for exhibition is one of the last things made by him
while with my father, Jules Le Brethon. There can be no
doubt of the authenticity of these two cameos (which my
father always kept and prized very much), as the accompany
ing photograph shows him at work in my father's studio. I
am sending the two cameos and photograph under separate
cover by registered mail.
