Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of English Rhyme This book is the best and the worst on its theme, for there is no, other. Many volumes have been written on the principles and prae tice of the poetic art; but none, from Sidney's days to Saints bury's, has been wholly devoted to the nature and history of English rhyme. The rhyming dictionaries, such as Walker's, Barnum's, or Loring's, have naturally contented themselves with vocabularies; while general treatises on poetics or poetic history have usually dismissed rhyme as a modern phonetic pleasure of uncertain origin. Furthermore, most writers on the subject, save Schipper and his followers, have ignored the rela tion, which ought to be obvious, between alliteration, assonance, and end-rhyme, as different forms of the same thing. The purpose of the present work is to try to trace the evolution of English rhyme, and to correlate it with physical laws, the growth of individual or communal song, and the history of the rhyme-art in other European tongues. Collateral attention has therefore been given to alliteration in the Teutonic languages, assonance in Spanish, and end-rhyme in Latin, Provencal, Ital ian, French, and German; but it was manifestly impossible, in a volume of small size, to present a polyglot or comparative history of a subject of such indefinite extent. Indeed, a full record of English rhyme alone would demand, for its presentation, a library almost as extensive as the works of the poets discussed. It has therefore been my attempt to give the leading principles of the discussion, leaving applications to be followed at the reader's pleasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Study of English Poetry Evidently Authority, if there be any such power, would need only to speak once and for all but suggestion is a humbler form of persuasion and must be clear and persistent. Unfortunately it is also dangerous to be too clear or too persistent: and I have realised this so strongly that 1 fear to have done my beliefs less than justice. My chief feeling, in parting from the book, is one of anxiety lest I have stated them, vital and moment ous as they seem to me, in too slight a form and little of and illustration.

Download or read book British Reason in English Rhyme Classic Reprint written by Henry Halford Vaughan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Reason in English Rhyme This rendering of 'Welsh Proverbs' was made by my father in the last few years of his life. Originally undertaken as an employment for leisure hours, the work grew under his hands, and it was finally his intention to translate all the 'Welsh Proverbs' together with such of the laws and Bardic aphorisms as seemed to embody and give expression to the national wisdom. In many cases the original meaning of the proverbs was hard to discover, owing to the quaintness of their diction and the obscurity of the illustrations by which they were expressed. The English Rhyme, therefore, does not profess to be a literal translation of the British Reason; it merely attempts to express the original sentiments in language as far as possible analogous to that used by the Welsh sages. My father had intended to write an introductory essay dealing with the subject as a whole, but at the time of his death this was only just commenced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of Learning: A Poem A word as to the double or feminine rhymes. Whatever may be said as to the value of rhyme to poetry in general, it is certain that in English didac tic verse, designed to be read or recited as a public address, rhyme, and regularity in it, is a very im portant aid both to the ear and the mind. But the heavy, hammering fall of the strong masculine rhymes of the English heroic couplet is regarded as tiresome by the modern hearer. The author has therefore employed the feminine rhymes in order to give more lightness, grace, and flexibility to the verse, which, in spite of the additional syllable, can be read more fluently and rapidly than the pure iambic pentameter couplet.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Rhyme and Rhythm Dark and red as a winter sun The field of slaughter lies: The wind makes moan as it doth run Across the frighted skies. Like a lost soul distraught it flies It wanders wild, but finds no rest, For red with blood is the brown earth's And the air is filled with dying cries, And all the world's unblest. Down the mirk sky the sun doth sink In angry mood, blood red It stains the field and river-brink, And stirs the sickly dead. It gleams on many a knightly head, And glints on cap of common groom: It jests with death, and laughs at doom, And lights the wandering soul late-sped, That gropes in unknown gloom.
