Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the 60,000 Canadians who did not return from the First World War, Bernard Trotter's poignant poems were published after his death. His letters home revealed idealism spirit of dedication which led him to volunteer and also showbiz family in Canada, deeply engaged, albeit from a distance, and the faraway conflict. In the fall of 1915, the British war office, contacted the University of Toronto for help in recruiting students for the officer corps of the British Imperial Army. One of the 50 young men who answered the call to service was Bernard Freeman Trotter, a 25-year-old graduate of McMaster University was just beginning advanced studies at the University of Toronto. He left his studies and his family in Toronto in March 1916, and before the year was out, Trotter had successfully completed his training with both the Canadian and British Armies in England, and was on his way to the Western Front as a junior officer with the Leicestershire 11th. Trotter always had been a good correspondent; he continued to keep in contact with his family throughout his travels, his training and travails. On Sunday afternoon, 6 May 1917, Trotter found time to complete another letter home. The following evening, a shell exploded close to the 26-year-old assistant transport officer. He dropped from his horse, killed instantly. Bernard Trotter like more than 60,000 other Canadians, never returned home from the Great War. He was remembered. The young man's family and friends honored his sacrifice by collecting and publishing his poetry. Although Trotter complained that his poetic Muse could not flourish among the interruptions and lack of privacy of military life, the best of the poems which appear here, were written overseas and establish his reputation as one of Canada's war poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Poems of the Great War Reat poets are the seers and prophets of a nation - of the world. Their function is to interpret life and nature in terms of beauty and passion, and through imagination and inspiration, reveal the Infinite and the True. All writers of good verse cannot be great poets, and it is only the works of the latter that permanently endure; but those of minor qualities reflect and influence their own generation, and have an important mission in the evolution of national life. In proportion as the individual or the nation despises or neglects poetry, there exists a state of moral and spiritual degeneracy. Materialism prevails, and loyal service and generous sacrifice give place to selfishness and unfair advantage. The memories of the young should be stored with beautiful and noble verse. The centuries seem to mark distinct eras in the development and fashion of poetry. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Burns, Shelley, Keats, Byron, and later, Tennyson, were the dominating leaders of the remarkable school of English poets of the 19th century; and their standards are still potent. Browning cannot be classed with this school. He belongs to the 20th century. And today, Browning, Whitman and Kipling overshadow all others as leaders of poetic thought and expression. More and more are the poets realizing that the quality of beauty is universal; and hence that there is nothing in this subjective-objective world, outside the pale of artistic expression. More and more are they seeking themes of intense human interest, and striving for climaxes of spiritual beauty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Battlefields: And Other Poems In submitting "Canadian Battlefields and Other Poems" to a discerning public, I realize it may be marred by many errors; the harp may not always be in tune - some chords may jar upon the fastidious ear. Rhythm and harmony may not always present that mysterious appeal to the soul that approves, and proves the worth of all. Yet, withal, I feel that some thoughts and emotions of patriotism, love of home, the song of nature, the mystery of creation, and the impenetrable depths of infinitude, may be found and approved. The subtle voice of nature, the voices of love, home, and country, have ever appealed to me, and impelled me to sing my humble song. And thus, in doubt and uncertainty, I cast it out on the world - the reading, critical public - asking that the pure, white veil of charity may conceal its rough edges and inequalities. Seek but to benefit thy fellowman; Let smiles, not frowns, his rugged path assail; Better with blinded eyes his faults to scan Than let the sin of wrong and scorn prevail. J. R. Wilkinson.

Thy war of peace is won. The dream of continents five and centuries four Is dream no more. Once, on a waiting "peak in Darien," Obscure till then, But made immortal by a single line Of verse divine, Bold Balboa, following the lure Of fell Adventure's backward-glancing eyes, Found the new wonder that he sought. What did he not endure That still another watery realm He thus might add as kingdom to the Spanish helm! Oh, joy supreme of half-divined surprise! - When, foremost climber, to his heart he caught The virgin sight of that uplifted sea, As new, as free, As though it had but just begun to be. Then, as he knelt, a second dream there came: The "wild surmise" His silent followers felt, but could not frame. For who could see so near those oceans flow But wish them mated - nay, but see them so? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Red Doc written by Anne Carson and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary event: a follow-up to the internationally acclaimed poetry bestseller Autobiography of Red ("Amazing" -- Alice Munro) that takes its mythic boy-hero into the twenty-first century to tell a story all its own of love, loss, and the power of memory. In a stunningly original mix of poetry, drama, and narrative, Anne Carson brings the red-winged Geryon from Autobiography of Red, now called "G," into manhood, and through the complex labyrinths of the modern age. We join him as he travels with his friend and lover "Sad" (short for Sad But Great), a haunted war veteran; and with Ida, an artist, across a geography that ranges from plains of glacial ice to idyllic green pastures; from a psychiatric clinic to the somber housewhere G's mother must face her death. Haunted by Proust, juxtaposing the hunger for flight with the longing for family and home, this deeply powerful verse picaresque invites readers on an extraordinary journey of intellect, imagination, and soul.

Download or read book Imperial Twilight written by Stephen R. Platt and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As China reclaims its position as a world power, Imperial Twilight looks back to tell the story of the country’s last age of ascendance and how it came to an end in the nineteenth-century Opium War. As one of the most potent turning points in the country’s modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to “open” China even as China’s imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country’s decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China’s advantage. The book paints an enduring portrait of an immensely profitable—and mostly peaceful—meeting of civilizations that was destined to be shattered by one of the most shockingly unjust wars in the annals of imperial history. Brimming with a fascinating cast of British, Chinese, and American characters, this riveting narrative of relations between China and the West has important implications for today’s uncertain and ever-changing political climate.
