Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Verse for Boys and Girls, Vol. 1 With children who have learned to read the pleasure of poetry is not all sensuous: the emotions, too, begin to be stirred. Now we cannot make children feel poetry unless we feel it ourselves and show that we do so by our manner of reading or repeating it. Some explanation will be needed here and there to make the ideas clear enough to be felt: more than this runs the risk of explaining the charm away. If a poem is to delight the mind as well as the ear, it should first be read or said as a whole; for it is only the whole that properly has meaning. Most short poems that are worth knowing are worth knowing by heart. But if these poems be studied and enjoyed as I have said, it matters little how many verses are deliberately learned by heart. Verses that are used to train the voice should no doubt be learned as a set task. But beyond this there is little need to mak a task of an exercise whose true end is to lay up permanent possibilities of delight. That end will be best attained if, after the poems have been studied and enjoyed, the children are left to choose for themselves what pieces they will learn by heart. If the book is in their hands for a year or two, those who have a gift for verse will be found to have learned most of it; the others might try at least to learn one poem from each section.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Verse for Boys and Girls, Vol. 2 The first part of this book is meant for children who have just learned to read. It should last them for a year or two.

Each poem, that is, should be read, in the first place, as a whole It should be read aloud, musically and feelingly; with illustration enough to make each image felt, and explanation enough to make the whole intelligible - 30 far, I mean, as children can feel and understand.

Download or read book Lyra Heroica written by William Ernest Henley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyra Heroica: A Book of Verse for Boys This book of verse for boys is, I believe, the first of its kind in English. Plainly it were labour lost to go gleaning where so many experts have gone harvesting; and for what is rarest and best in English Poetry the world must turn, as heretofore, to the several 'Golden Treasuries' of Professor Palgrave and Mr. Coventry Patmore, and to the excellent 'Poets' Walk' of Mr. Mowbray Morris. My purpose has been to choose and sheave a certain number of those achievements in verse which, as expressing the simpler sentiments and the more elemental emotions, might fitly be addressed to such boys - and men, for that matter - as are privileged to use our noble English tongue. To set forth, as only art can, the beauty and the joy of living, the beauty and the blessedness of death, the glory of battle and adventure, the nobility of devotion - to a cause, an ideal, a passion even - the dignity of resistance, the sacred quality of patriotism, that is my ambition here Now, to read poetry at all is to have an ideal anthology of ones own, and in that possession to be incapable of content with the anthologies of all the world besides. That is, the personal equation is ever to be reckoned withal, and I have had my preferences, as those that went before me had theirs.
