Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Singer From the Sea His cottage was not far off, and he went there. As he approached, a woman rose from the steps and, with her knitting in her hand, went inside. She was putting the kettle on the fire as he entered, and she turned her head to smile upon him. It was a delightful smile, full of love and pleasure, and she accompanied it with a little nod of her head that meant any good thing he liked -to ask of her. Aw, my dear, he said, I do think the little maid is a sight too long away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Singer from the Sea written by Sheri S. Tepper and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good and proper aristocrat on the isolated, seemingly backward planet of Haven, Genevieve has been carefully instructed in the Covenants -- the ancient, inflexible laws governing the women of her class. She knows what is expected of her: marriage in her mid-twenties to a groom of her father's choosing, childbirth at age thirty. And then soon afterwards -- as has been the lot of so many noblewomen before her -- perhaps death. But there is another Genevieve within who longs to heed the call of the sea -- though she has never once seen the vast waters that cover most of her homeworld's surface. For an unheard voice is crying out to her across the centuries, drawing her ever-closer to a terrible truth hidden beneath a smoke screen of rules, tradition, and propriety. And it is Genevieve who must fulfill a forgotten destiny -- something inborn passed for untold generations from daughter to daughter -- or she and the entire civilization of Haven will be swept away on a cosmic wave of oblivion.
Download or read book Songs of the Sea and Lays of the Land Classic Reprint written by Charles Godfrey Leland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Sea and Lays of the Land Among the songs in this collection are the Brand New Ballads already known more or less to the public, several of them having an American newspaper circulation, while a few are given at times in public readings; since I have learned, for example, that "In Nevada" was one of the stock-pieces of Mr. Clifford Harrison. They now reappear amended and with additions. In the "Songs of the Sea" the reader will not fail to observe that three or four, such as the "Mermaid" and "Time for Us to Go," are not by me at all. They are sailors' songs of the olden time, introduced as suggestions for other lyrics, as I have indeed declared in the text, and also to aid in the main purpose or idea which inspires the whole collection - they being in this respect like stones from more ancient edifices built into new houses, as was the wont of men in the middle age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs by the SeaIt is natural, therefore, that the sensitive spirit and delicate fancy of Mrs. Springer should be deeply moved and enkindled by both its grandeur and loveliness. Its calm soothes her as a lullaby, its mirrors rounded large, bright with the sun's glory, transfer the radiance to her soul; and torn ocean's roar, not only lifts up her imagination to hearthe voices of deep callingunto deep, but draws forth her tenderest sympathies for the human suffering and loss caused by the devouring main. Nor is it strange that one bred upon the prairies of the West, as she was, knowing the ocean only by hearsay for many years, should be prepared to yield her heart to its mighty charm. The boundless plains of her native land, whose gentle undulations resemble the long swell of the sea, their verdure almost matching its hue, their groves easily mistaken for islands that like to rich and various gems inlay the unadorned bosom of the deep, would school the eye and mind of Mrs. Springer to see and tell of things invisible to most of us, when she came to stand by the multitude of great waters through which she beholds Jehovah riding upon His horses and chariots of salvation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Curiously A enough, I find that as many shore people are interested in these songs as sailors. I have added a few more Songs and Shanties of course there are numbers of others, but I think this selection is fairly representative. I have been asked why The Banks of Sacramento is not inserted 3 this was nothing but an old Christy Minstrel song turned into a Shanty, and for that reason I omitted it. Questions have been asked about others, but it is impossible to use all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Sea Labour: Chanties Dear Bullen, You have done real good national work in helping to preserve these fine old Chanties. Like yourself I have heard them many a time when I have been bending to the rhythm as we hauled up the heavy whaling boats to their davits. It is wonderful how their musical rise and fall, with the pull coming on the main note, lightened the labour. I fear in these days of steam winches that the old stamp-and-go of ten men on a rope is gone for ever. And yet your book will help to preserve it, and to those who know and can feel, there is a smack of salt spray in every line of these rude virile verses. To them once again will come back the creak of the blocks as the falls whine through them, and the dead heavy lurch as the boat jerks upwards. As I glance through your pages and see "On the plains of Mexico," "Blow the man down," or "Rio Grande," I can hardly think of any words or tunes that appeal more intimately to all the spirit of adventure that life has left in me. I only wish you were here to sing them yourself in your inimitable way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Whaleman: And Other Sea-Songs The thought was seized upon by the people of New Bedford, who wondered that nobody had thought of the matter before. The above is an extract from one of many articles written on the subject of The Whaleman, and his Statue, which was proposed in a little song written and published ten years ago, come May. There may be divers reasons, and none of them wonderful, why the suggestion was not ooffered before. Perhaps people addicted to wondering are not given to thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Lips of the Sea This morning more mysterious seems the sea Than yesterday when, with reverberant roar, It charged upon the beaches, and the sky Above it shimmered cloudless. Now the waves Lap languorously along the foamless sand And all the far horizon swims in mist. Out Of this murk, across this Oily sweep, Might lost armadas grandly sail to shore Jason might oar on Argo, or the stern Surge-wanderer from Ithaca's bleak isle Break on the sight, or Viking prows appear, And still not waken wonder. Aye, the sound Of siren singing might drift o'er the main And yet not fall upon amazed ears!

Download or read book Sea Songs and Ballads Classic Reprint written by Christopher Stone and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Songs and Ballads How far is a collection of Sea Songs a monument to the memory of poets and musicians who have endeavoured to represent the taste and spirit of sea-faring folk, or a record of compositions commonly sung by sailors to audiences of their brethren? This question is nearly sure to meet every one whose experience goes back to the time when seamen tried to relieve the monotony of a long voyage and entertain their shipmates by singing - to tunes never made the subject of musical notation - songs never reduced to writing. Most of these have disappeared beyond hope of recovery. A few have been preserved, but have been so altered in the process of preservation that they only faintly resemble the originals. The Introduction to this little volume is surely a proper place in which to remind or for the first time inform landsmen that, till a date within living memory, British sailors had a set of folk-songs of their own; composed and sung by their own minstrels; and almost, perhaps quite, unknown to their fellow countrymen on shore.
