The Lieutenant throws himself down on the lounge, and draws a long sigh. Kate slips quietly out of the room, catches up her shawl and hat from the rack in the hall, and her brother, hearing her go down the steps into the street, wonders Where she is bound for, and Why she didn't say something about it, and then falls back into his gloomy reverie.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Stories; Ballads and Other Poems; Tales WE have referred more than once in these notes to the relation subsisting between Thackeray and Dickens. To the superficial eye, the two figures always seem contrasted they were of the same generation, of the same race, of the same city; they both wrote fiction, and yet appeared to be at Opposite poles. If one brought out a serial novel in green covers, the other followed with one in yellow covers; if one set the fashion of Christmas books, the other was prompt to trim his sails to the same breeze. On the other hand, the admirer of Thackeray is apt to resent any sugges tion that his hero was in any way indebted to Dickens, and to be impatient of the kind of comparison which bids two authors stand back to back that critical friends may see which is the taller.

Download or read book Old Ballads in Prose Classic Reprint written by Eva March Tappan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Ballads in Prose The story-loving people would have hadrather a hard time if it had not been for the ballads. These ballads were simple rhymes, and every one of them told a story. There were tales of ghosts and fairies, of merry jests and faithful maidens and gallant champions, of the wild escapades of Robin Hood and his fol lowers in the depths of Sherwood Forest; and there were tales with the ring of battle and the clash of arms in them, with a sword in every line. No one knows who composed the ballads, and it is not at all likely that any one of them was the work of a single person. When peo ple sang them, they sang what they remem bered, and made up the rest; so that they were seldom sung alike twice. By and by, they were printed on single sheets of coarse paper. In country houses they were often pasted on the walls of the bedrooms. Some people felt a little scorn for the ballads be cause they were so simple and unpolished, but Addison said, I cannot, for my Heart, leave a Room before I have thoroughly studied the walls of it, and examined the several printed Papers which are usually pasted upon them.

Download or read book Ballad Stories Classic Reprint written by Mary Macleod and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballad Stories This verse or stanza. The gift of improvisation com monly perishes when the demand for it ceases, when poetry no longer lives upon the lips of men, but is pre served for men's uses in the printed page. The stream then ows no longer; the water is preserved in a cistern. Our ballads, however, are in the main the productions of individual singers, working on older material, and in uenced by the tradition of older models. These singers were poets of the people, who cared only for the song itself, who did not seek for posthumous glory, and who have left no name. In some instances a professional minstrel may have been the poet. In Some instances he may have taken the 'matter of his story from some medieval'romance, and condensed it into a ballad. Again, in some instances, the story may have been a fragment of contemporary or recent history, and the persons of the narrative may have been the actual persons of history. But history repeats itself, and history sometimes bears a resemblance to romance or fictitious narrative. With an alteration of names, and a slight recasting of incidents, it would sometimes have been easy to adapt an older theme to contemporary events, and heighten the interest of traditional romance with the interest of historical actuality.
