Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tragedies to Which Are Added a Few Sonnets and Verses Mr. Stephens, are conscious of power which has not oh tained the fair opportunity of trial before living audiences, to console themselves by the expression of their belief that, with the exception of a few modern tragedies which cannot get represented, the hundred and eighty years since the adoption of the odious monopoly has not pro duced a single Play that will live at the present cen tury but it would ill become one whose dramatic efforts have obtained their full measure of attention, to sit thus in judgment on those of his contemporaries who have not only attained splendid theatrical success, but high and lasting renown. I may be allowed to add that, while I am not only content but happy to attribute much of the success of the two first Dramas to personal regards, I feel that it was an honest success; for, believing that the liberal issue of orders has conduced greatly to impair the love for the Drama, and to impoverish the managers of theatres, Ihave always declined to solicit or use them and have never obtained, or written, or given one on any representation of either of my Plays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Download or read book The Militant God and Some Sonnets Verses and Rhymes Classic Reprint written by Clifford Greve and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Militant God, and Some Sonnets, Verses, and Rhymes A drama does not require a preface. Aristotle puts it well for he says: A tragedy must be complete in itself. Lessing adds a bit in his Dramatic Notes when he defiantly states in so many words: I can announce to an audience, my plot before the curtain arises and then those in the theatre should enjoy the play as well as if the story had not been told to them. Charles F rohman was unquestionably the Pericles, or the Elizabeth of modern times. The world knows Charles Frohman. However, that name was a trinity. There were three brothers and perhaps the greatest was the least known and the purity of soul of the entire organization really belonged to a woman, the wife of one of them. The writer once enjoyed the great privilege of being the Literary Manager and Play Reader for a Frohman. In that capacity the author read and analyzed more than fourteen hundred plays and in each, found, at least, the germ of a drama.

Download or read book Sonnets and Love Poems Classic Reprint written by Anna Comtesse de Brémont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American author Countess Anna de Bremont published Sonnets and Love Poems in 1892. She dedicated this anthology to her deceased husband, Count Leon de Bremont, from whom she got her title. It appears that her distinguished French spouse died early in her adult life, leaving her to wax romantic about his memory and use sonnets as her vehicle in unloading her grief and loneliness at his passing. But rather than think that this volume is nothing but a collection of mournful sonnets by a sentimental widow, consider the other poetic treasures that lay printed on the other pages of this book. The other short literary pieces are wistfully romantic, decidedly passionate, and are infused with a youthful, womanly charm - as if the author has never known grief. Countess de Bremont, who counted Oscar Wilde as one of her friends, does not only write of romantic fantasies and musings. She also dedicates a few verses to Christmas, her mother, some of her friends, and to characters and people she have met or observed. This work is apt for those who have a real appreciation and love for prose and poetry, especially those dating around the turn of the 20th century. This also makes a good gift option for the literary inclined and for female loved ones who are partial to romantic sighings written in verse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buttonwood and Other Poems It is not without misgiving that I allow these verses to be printed in a book. With a few exceptions they were written many years ago as a relaxation from severe study; and now as I revise them for publica tion they do not please me as they did when I com posed them. But the critical mood is not the poetical one, nor is an author always the best judge of his own work. Besides, as time passes, our tastes change, and many things which delight us in youth become insipid in old age. And if we make good use of the opportunities afforded us, our standards of excellence rise higher and higher, though they nev er reach absolute perfection.
