Book excerpt: Iliryle did not wait for the gnoll to die and she grabbed up her shield once more for protection. Hawkwind s magic was now spreading across the entire south wall and around east and west. The air in the courtyard itself seemed to pulse with the strum from his fingers as his song raised and lowered in volume. The gnomes had long since realized that they were being helped and they threw themselves in a maniacal fashion at the gnolls in the breach. Abruptly another chant seemed to join in time with the music and Lebbrina, cut and bleeding from several minor wounds walked out of the tower stairs nearby and up to the bard. Now the green magic of the cleric joined with that of the bard and a swirling maelstrom of light began to bathe the battlefield. A crash of thunder sounded nearby and a brilliant bolt of lightning lit the battle beyond the wall. Thea, in the tower above had finally chosen to attack with magic and the lightning struck a giant that was moving toward the wall. It was terribly wounded and it struggled to its feet and dragged itself away in retreat. -------------------------------------- A story of high adventure and flashing swordplay set against the background of magic and mystery of the Before People! The continuing exploits of Hawkwind the Bard and his companions.

Book excerpt: Aerril muttered an oath and snatched his long sword from its scabbard, its blade glowing with green magic light. Iliryle also slid her sword from its holding and Garlin gripped his staff tightly. "Let us go and quickly," Iliryle said and ran toward the spring.Another of the blasts of flame erupted from the rocks as they drew near and in its light, they saw a figure dash behind a boulder fleeing the flame. "That is Hawkwind, I will wager," Aerril shouted, "and he has evil at his heels." They continued to run toward the boulder where they supposed the bard had come to ground. Sure enough, they could see Hawkwind, sword in hand hiding in the lee of a huge rock and next they caught sight of what trailed him. Only a long dark form appeared at first however as they drew closer, the form resolved into an enormous four-legged creature that resembled a hound. Its dark gray and black fur stood straight out from its hide and its features were hideous.* * * * * A story of high adventure and flashing swordplay set against the background of magic and mystery of the Before People!

Download or read book One Hundred and One Poems by Paul Verlaine written by Paul Verlaine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999-04-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French poet Paul Verlaine, a major representative of the Symbolist Movement during the latter half of the nineteenth century, was one of the most gifted and prolific poets of his time. Norman Shapiro's superb translations display Verlaine's ability to transform into timeless verse the essence of everyday life and make evident the reasons for his renown in France and throughout the Western world. "Shapiro's skillfully rhymed formal translations are outstanding." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Best Book of 1999" "Paul Verlaine's rich, stylized, widely-variable oeuvre can now be traced through his thirty years of published volumes, from 1866 to 1896, in a set of luminous new translations by Norman Shapiro. . . . [His] unique translations of this whimsical, agonized music are more than adequate to bring the multifarious Verlaine to a new generation of English speakers." —Genevieve Abravanel, Harvard Review "Shapiro demonstrates his phenomenal ability to find new rhymes and always follows Verlaine's rhyme schemes." —Carrol F. Coates, ATA Chronicle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Verlaine, possessed by the madnesses of love, brimming over with desires and prayers, the rebel railing against the complacent platitudes of society, of love, of language'. Jean Rousselot Verlaine ranks alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud as one of the most outstanding poets of late nineteenth-century France whose work is associated with the early Symbolists, the Decadents, and the Parnassiens. Remarkable not only for his delicacy and exquisitely crafted verse, Verlaine is also the poet of strong emotions and appetites, with an unrivalled gift for the sheer music of poetry, and an inventive approach to its technique. This bilingual edition provides the most comprehensive selection of his poetry yet, offering some 170 poems in lively and fresh translations and providing a lucid introduction which illuminates Verlaine's poetic form within the context of French Impressionism and the poetry of sensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAUL VERLAINE (1844 - 1896) was a leading light of the French Parnassian poets, highly praised for his early collection of verse, Ftes galantes (1869). In 1872 he deserted Paris, wife and child, and the Parnassians to travel with young poet Arthur Rimbaud on a quest to "renew poetic vision." Use of drugs, alcohol, sex and violence in this pursuit led to gunshots, a prison-term, exile and the end of the two poets' relationship. Throughout this period and over the following two decades of his life, Verlaine wrote many of his finest poems about this turbulent affair.

Book excerpt: A selection from the legendary French poet Paul Verlaine's first four books translated with irreverence and musicality by Keith Waldrop and K.A. Hays. Before he became an icon of fin de siècle French poetry and a major influence on the Symbolist and Decadent movements, before he met Arthur Rimbaud and published his best-known collection, Sagesse (Wisdom, 1880), Paul Verlaine wrote four books of poetry: Saturnine Poems (1866), Wild Parties (1869), The Good Song (1870), and Wordless Romances (1874). This volume presents selections from those books, presenting Verlaine's lesser-known early work, in translations that Cole Swensen has dubbed "a real tour de force" and Michael Palmer calls "remarkable versions."
