Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Principal Pictures in Flanders and Holland, 1822 I found, when on the spot, that so many changes had taken place in the position and condition of various Pictures, during the period of forty years which had elapsed since Sir Joshua's time, * that his Tour, however inter esting, as containing a series of admirable te marks on art, was become a very imperfect guide to the modern traveller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes From Flanders Now We've Returned To You. We did our parts, With willing hearts, While over the ocean blue; We ruined with fire, One great Empire, Now we've returned to you. We started no war, We fought only for Our rights - all which were due; There's no more land, Called "Fatherland," Now we've returned to you. With flag unfurled. To "Rule the world" Was ever the Kaiser's view; But in the grind, He changed his mind, Now we've returned to you. We fought with France, And every chance We had to cross the slough; We broke their line, They sought the Rhine, Now we've returned to you. Some few Brave sons, Repulsing the Huns, Met death - but brave and true. But all the rest, Have done our best, Now we've returned to you. For land that's free, For Victory - The Old Red, White and Blue; We fought our might, We won alright, Now we've returned to you. To All Army Officers. If I wear a helmit, A heavy steel helmit, And you wear your old Sam Browne. If you "Right dress me" With bricks I'll caress thee, When I'm back in my home town. No more a soldier, Then I will get bolder, No orders from such a clown, And when you re back with your Sally, Stay out of the alley, Or take off your old "Sam Browne."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vanished Towers and Chimes of Flanders The unhappy Flemish people, who are at present much in the lime-light, because of the invasion and destruction of their once smiling and happy little country, were of a character but little known or understood by the great outside world. The very names of their cities and towns sounded strangely in foreign ears. Towns named Ypres, Courtrai, Alost, Furnes, Tournai, were in the beginning of the invasion unpronounceable by most people, but little by little they have become familiar through newspaper reports of the barbarities said to have been practised upon the people by the invaders. Books giving the characteristics of these heroic people are eagerly sought. Unhappily these are few, and it would seem that these very inadequate and random notes of mine upon some phases of the lives of these people, particularly those related to architecture, and the music of their renowned chimes of bells, might be useful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mud and Khaki: Sketches From Flanders and France No words, then, can give an exact picture of these things, but they may help to give colour to your impressions. Heaven forbid that, by telling the horrors of war, the writers of books should make pessimists of those at home! Heaven forbid that they should be little the dangers and hardships, and so take away some of the glory due to Tommy for all he has suffered for the Motherland! There is a happy mean - the men at the front have found it they know that death is near, but they can still laugh and sing. In these sketches and stories I have tried, with but little success, to keep that happy mean in View.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Flemish Painters: Notices of Their Tibes and Works Descamps, in 1753, wrote afresh the lives of these painters. He did not, however, add much that was new. On the contrary, he confused a history which was already sufficiently obscure. He failed to discover the error of Van Mander, who made two painters out of the old Roger Van der Weyden and he changed the name of Memling to Hemmelinck, thereby laying the foundation of much subsequent controversy. Having visited Bruges and seen the pictures of the hospital, he sought to repair the neglect of history by writing a legend. Thus altered and falsified, the history of early Flemish art remained for some time, not forgotten, it is true, but still obscure.

A good many of these stories are found in a different guise in the legends of other nations. Seppy is closely akin to the rhyme of The Old Man who lived in the Wood and the prototypes of others will be readily recognized but all of them have peculiar Flemish traits. They have the picturesqueness characteristic of the country which produced such a glorious school of painting, and the freshness of their presentation is a high tribute to the creative imagination off the Flanders folk Sometimes they are primitive to a degree as Simple John and.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guido Gezelle: The Mystic Poet of Flanders The reader will perhaps raise the question: Why do some of the Flemish authors insist on writing in Flemish, a tongue so limited in use? Why do they not follow the larger and easier road to success, international fame and wealth, which Maeterlinck and Verhaeren followed, by writing in French, which for most of them has become a sec ond mother tongue? Why write in the speech of the lower and the middle classes of Flanders, neg leeting the richer French-speaking bourgeoisie?
