But could Love's power such high renown bestow Could Love's weak voice, thus prompt to godlike deed? Could Love's frail arm avert each hostile blow, Or in the brave defence devoted bleed? And ah! did even Love, bright Friendship's charms exceed? Thus miis'd fond Youth, while Love at distance kept, But as the Beauty swiftly closer drew, A cloud of fragrance o'er his senses swept, So sense-o erpowering, that Reason flew, And swooning, vanished for awhile from view; But soon revived, she caught his hand aside, And while her sheltering arm she round him threw, Thus earnest said, "O hear thy chosen guide! Ere to companion wrong, thy erring soul be tied. "I own Love fair, delightful too as fair; And might we trust, no mate so dear or meet; But oft she shrinks from the world's searching air, And backward oft returns with truant feet. If still she uiov'd with her associates sweet, Then were Life's pilgrimage a progress gay: But Hope too frequent seeks some new retreat, And Love leaves Constancy upon the way; Then Lightness or Despair her altered bosom sway. 163599 "But Friendship with immortal vigour glows, Nor sun can scorch, nor blast despoil his bloom; By him he loves, with the same step he goes, To Honour's throne, or dark Oblivion's tomb, (Willing to share his joy, or cheer his gloom.) Nor road can tire, nor thick'ning fogs confuse; And if to trial sharp the gods should doom Him best-belov'd, 'twixt life and truth to choose, Friendship would nobly teach that cherish'd life to lose." "Friendship be then my choice!" was Youth's reply, While quick averted from Love's madd'ning sight, Disorder'd, struggling, sad, his trembling eye, Shut out her dangerous image with the light: Yet tears triumphant...

This book was released on 2024-01-07 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Lyrical Ballads and other Poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth (Also contains Their Thoughts On Poetry Principles and Secrets)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Lyrical Ballads, two collections of poems by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge are generally considered to have marked the beginning of the English Romantic movement in literature. The immediate effect on critics was modest, but they became and remain a landmark, changing the course of English literature and poetry. Most of the poems in the 1798 edition were written by Wordsworth, with Coleridge contributing only five poems to the collection, including one of his most famous works, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". A second edition was published in 1800, in which Wordsworth included additional poems and a preface detailing the pair's avowed poetical principles. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 – 1834) was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria. William Wordsworth (1770 –1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798).

Download or read book A Collection of Ballads written by Andrew Lang and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instances perpetually occur in the Sagas: Grettir, Egil, Skarphedin, are always singing. In Kidnapped, Mr. Stevenson introduces “The Song of the Sword of Alan,” a fine example of Celtic practice: words and air are beaten out together, in the heat of victory. In the same way, the women sang improvised dirges, like Helen; lullabies, like the lullaby of Danae in Simonides, and flower songs, as in modern Italy. Every function of life, war, agriculture, the chase, had its appropriate magical and mimetic dance and song, as in Finland, among Red Indians, and among Australian blacks. “The deeds of men” were chanted by heroes, as by Achilles; stories were told in alternate verse and prose; girls, like Homer’s Nausicaa, accompanied dance and ball play, priests and medicine-men accompanied rites and magical ceremonies by songs. These practices are world-wide, and world-old. The thoroughly popular songs, thus evolved, became the rude material of a professional class of minstrels, when these arose, as in the heroic age of Greece. A minstrel might be attached to a Court, or a noble; or he might go wandering with song and harp among the people. In either case, this class of men developed more regular and ample measures. They evolved the hexameter; the laisse of the Chansons de Geste; the strange technicalities of Scandinavian poetry; the metres of Vedic hymns; the choral odes of Greece. The narrative popular chant became in their hands the Epic, or the mediaeval rhymed romance. The metre of improvised verse changed into the artistic lyric. These lyric forms were fixed, in many cases, by the art of writing. But poetry did not remain solely in professional and literary hands. The mediaeval minstrels and jongleurs (who may best be studied in Léon Gautier’s Introduction to his Epopées Françaises) sang in Court and Camp. The poorer, less regular brethren of the art, harped and played conjuring tricks, in farm and grange, or at street corners. The foreign newer metres took the place of the old alliterative English verse. But unprofessional men and women did not cease to make and sing. Some writers have decided, among them Mr. Courthope, that our traditional ballads are degraded popular survivals of literary poetry. The plots and situations of some ballads are, indeed, the same as those of some literary mediaeval romances. But these plots and situations, in Epic and Romance, are themselves the final literary form of märchen, myths and inventions originally popular, and still, in certain cases, extant in popular form among races which have not yet evolved, or borrowed, the ampler and more polished and complex genres of literature. Thus, when a literary romance and a ballad have the same theme, the ballad may be a popular degradation of the romance; or, it may be the original popular shape of it, still surviving in tradition. A well-known case in prose, is that of the French fairy tales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romantic Ballads and Poems of Phantasy IT is but fitting that I should dedicate this little booh to you, who have always had such sterling appreciation of imaginative literature. Lihe many' of our country folh who have been born or have lived much in the Scottish Highlands, we have, in common, the true Celtic passion for the weird and the supernatural, and for vividly romantic sentiment and action. That there is a Romantic Revival imminent in our poetic litera ture, a true awakening of the genuinely romantic sentiment, is my earnest conviction. Many things point to this frest-stim'ng stream of tendency. Among our younger artists there is a quichening of life, of emotion, even of passion, such as has not animated English art since the days of the endeavour of the Preraphaelite Brotherhood it may prove to be a flash in the' pan, or confined to rare individual aberration, but I th inh not.
