Seek it not here, 'mid the glitter of gold; Wealth does not grow on the shores of Bohemia; Fame only lingers its realms to unfold. Who shall I find in the shades of Bohemia? Beings untinged by society's stern laws; Mortals whose aim is unfettered, pure nature, Heedless alike of earth's blame or applause. What shall I see in the land of Bohemia? Noble souls striving for freedom of thought; Wonderful units, with brains ever active, Brimful of hope, yet with cares ever fraught. Who are the natures who haunt true Bohemia? Those whose high souls from society rebel; Those whom the earth-hovering, narrow, vain natures Cannot control, yet they cannot dispel.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemian Legends and Other Poems Tion, that history and heroism have furnished few sub jects for the Bohemian national songs, and, he says, is the more remarkable when they are compared or con trasted with those of other Slavonian races, especially the Servian and the Russian. But how should such songs exist - or rather if they ever existed, how should they be long preserved in a state of society where no man dares to be a Bohemian? That freedom of thought and expression which opens to the poet the great expanse of space and time - the whole field of the past and the future - which allows him to revel in all that is delight ful in recollection, and in all that is beautiful in anticipation - is denied to the minstrel of Bohemia. He may neither record the struggles of his ancestors for liberty, nor dream of the day when self-government shall give to his country whatever of happiness she is capable of enjoying. Love, of all the passions which he is permitted to sing, is that which allows the widest scope to his imagination - and love is the ever-ruling subject of his verse. And surely their popular poets have treated this subject with exquisite tenderness and effect. These are the opinions and words of two Englishmen, who trod before me thethorny path of Bohemian literature. Had their works been published in Austria, the same fate that met my book, Bohemian Legends and Ballads, would have met them. They would have been confiscated. Dr. John Bowring, speak ing of poor Hanka, says: It is to be hoped that no impediment will be thrown in his way, which one cannot but fear, from the arbitrary suppression of the fifth volume of his collection. It is not much to allow, that those who have no hope of the future may be permitted to indulge in the memories of the past. This sin I committed, and so my poor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coast of Bohemia NE who after writing prose all his life suddenly essays to launch a volume of verse, must know something of the feeling with which an old-time sailor after coasting only his native shores found himself setting sail into an unknown sea. The author of this little volume knows quite as well as the most experienced mariner the temerity of sail ing an untried main in so frail a bark. But he is willing, if the Fates so decree, to go down with the unnumbered sail of that great eet which have throughout the ages faced the wide ocean of oblivion.

Download or read book An Anthology of Modern Bohemian Poetry Classic Reprint written by Paul Selver and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of Modern Bohemian Poetry The Bohemian or Czech language belongs, together with Polish, to the western group of the Slavonic languages, thus being closely akin to Russian, Servian, and the minor members of this branch of speech. It is spoken by nearly ten millions of people in Bohemia, Moravia, Austrian Silesia, and, in the slightly modified form of Slovak, in the northern districts of Hungary. In common with the other Slavonic languages, it displays a high degree of inflection. The nouns have seven cases, and the verbal structure displays a remarkable variety and intricacy. Bohemian forms derivatives and compounds with great ease, and is remarkably vigorous and expressive. As a rule, it employs far more purely native words than Polish, but some of the modern writers are beginning to introduce words of foreign origin to a greater extent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cheskian Anthology: Being a History of the Poetical Literature of Bohemia If, says W. Wotton, in his Reflections on Ancient and Modern Learning, ' Homer and Virgil had been Polanders, or High Dutch, they would never, in all probability, have thought it worth their while to attempt the writing of heroic poems. Expressions like these are frequently em ployed by men who scorn all instruction but that which flows from classic sources, and such ex pressions are too often only the exhibition of proud ignorance and idleness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buckeyeland and Bohemia "Few poets can imitate that sublime bird which flies always in the air and never touches the earth; it is only once in many ages a genius appears whose words, like those on the Written Mountain, last forever; but still there are some, as delightful, perhaps, though not so wonderful, who, if not stars over our head are at least flowers along our path, and whose sweetness of the moment we might gratefully inhale, without calling upon them for a brightness and durability beyond their nature." - Lalla Rookh. Filled with the dreams that no fool's wealth can buy, Clad in our rags, fed on our crust of bread, Well sing our songs, nor tell the reason why, Bless God for rhymes and journey toward the dead. - W.

Zaboj himself takes a part in the fight, his blows are, said to fall in front of the fight like a hailstorm. There is a for cible description of the long-enduring battle and the progress of it. Zaboj is represented as endowed with super - human strength, able to fell a tree with a single stroke of his battle axe, destroying thirty enemies with his own hand, piercing his foes through at a distance of five fathoms, and following them without his shield with sword in hand a very grey hound in pursuit, a lynx in perception; yet in the midst of all preserving a great self possession, and exercising wonderful great mindedness towards the fallen. The ballad concludes with this song of the hard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
