Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Collection of English Sonnets They who require in poetry a succession of brilliant incidents, and award praise in proportion to the amount and intensity of excitement produced, will very probably cast upon the diminutive Sonnet a coldand contemptuous eye. Precluded, by its restricted limits, from exhibiting the details of romantic narra tive - and equally precluded, by its complicated and rigid texture, from expressing the sudden and rapid changes of passion, it cannot be supposed to possess any of the attractions uniformly demanded by the lovers of 'moving accidents' and 'tales that freeze the blood.' To an entirely different order of intellects the Sonnet appeals. It is with poetry as with external na ture, of which the most delightful portions are invari ably' those that lie out of the beaten pathway, and re quire to be sought. It is there that the affections concentrate themselves - that the heart, undisturbed by the impulses of a vague and wandering curiosity, is kept awake to love and beauty.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Sonnets Classic Reprint written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1865 edition was first printed in 1609 in London. Now, centuries after the Bard of Avon's death, his works remain popular, sought after, and worth republishing. This collection of sonnets is no different. This edition puts Shakespeare's fine 14-line poems in the spotlight, as it is devoid of any foreword, introduction, or any other type of writing but the sonnets. It includes all but one image - which is placed at the beginning of the book. In the absence of sonnet titles, the publishers did not make use of a table of contents. An index of first lines is provided instead, making it easier for the ardent Shakespeare fan to locate a particular sonnet out of the 154 included in the collection. It is delightful to discover that each page contains only a single sonnet, which facilitates clarity and ease of reading, aside from a satisfyingly "uncluttered" look. Reading the sonnets, one cannot but help sighing with delight at the beautiful rhymes and lines. The choice of words, combined with the fact that they do sound well with each other, makes lovers of the written word sigh with utter delight and joy. The romance oozing from virtually every line in Shakespeare's sonnets makes one keep reading one poem after the other compulsively. The clever themed grouping of the sonnets adds to the page-turning appeal of this edition. All in all, this is one volume to carry about, read, and re-read, especially when one needs a healthy dose of creative, or romantic, inspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master's Field: A Series of Sonnets In saying this, I am in a de cc - but in a slight degree only - condemning myself. W en I first began to write sonnets, I did not see as clearly, as I saw soon afterwards, that the actual poetry of the composition depends very much on its structural perfection. Any one who compares the Sonetti of Petrarch with the Canzoni will see how rigid rules and multiplied rhymes may, in some hands in crease instead of diminish beauty and strength. The best sonnets to be found in English, German and Spanish, con form strictly to the Italian type; they have two sets only of rhyming words in the first eight lines, or major system, and two or three sets only of rhyming words in the tercets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sonnets of Milton It was also reserved for Milton to establish in England the more familiar and classical forms of the Italian Sonnet, which had been much neglected, although not wholly and entirely, by his predecessors. The Sonnet is here our special theme; and its use by English poets cannot well be considered without reference to its subjects and methods in the country of its origin. It first appeared in Italy in the twelfth century; it has continued there in unbroken use till the twentieth and the Italian poetry which has been cast into the sonnet form is without bound or limit; infinite in its copiousness, and impressive in its value and beauty. One of the most famous of poets, Petrarch, made it peculiarly his own, and became the master of many disciples but the sonnet extends far outside the Petrarchian range.

Download or read book A Selection from the Sonnets of William Wordsworth Classic Reprint written by William Wordsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Selection from the Sonnets of William Wordsworth compiles over eighty delightful and thought provoking sonnets from the famous English poet, William Wordsworth. Known across the world to fervent students of English, Wordsworth's dedication to writing and his great body of work has given him the honor of being often referred to as the "father" of modern poetry. For readers interested in outstanding poetry, or writers ready to absorb and learn from one of the best poets in written history; this book will entertain, educate, and enlighten. Full to the brim with over eighty sonnets, this book offers an incredible selection of poetry on a range of topics all written by the wonderfully talented William Wordsworth. Many of the sonnets are based in Wordsworth experiences of nature, as he was a bit of a naturalist and spent a great deal of time exploring nature and writing about the natural elements he encountered. Some of the sonnets are autobiographical and they explore the lives and his personal impressions of both his friends and of his family (primarily his sister Dorothy Wordsworth). Still others are literary boons of Wordsworth's interpretation of contemporary social and political topics, as well as the occasional sonnet on religion. Each sonnet, regardless of topic, is a glimpse into the incredible heart and soul of one of history's greatest writers. A Selection from the Sonnets of William Wordsworth is an amazing collection by the famous William Wordsworth. These sonnets afford the reader a beautiful glimpse into his personal life, beliefs, and experiences of a highly private man -- granting the reader unique insight into the things in life he treasured most. A delightful read for scholars of English and historians interested in the life of this excellent poet, this book is also appropriate for any reader who wishes to experience the transformational power of the written word and the beauty of finely written poetry.
