Download or read book War Verse Classic Reprint written by Frank Foxcroft and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Verse This is by no means the first collection of poems of the great war; and it is certain that it will not be the last. If it has one outstanding characteristic which distinguishes it from other collections, it is that the material for it is not the result of a quest among volumes of verse, and only to a slight degree is it the work of the recognized poets. It owes its origin to the fact that the Editor has been a close reader of the English journals, magazines and reviews since August, 1914, and has been increasingly impressed with the fine quality of the war verse contributed by writers unknown or little known. The spirit rather than the form of this verse carries its appeal to the reader. It is not the work of professional verse writers who have seen in the events of the war stirring and timely literary material; but, to a large extent, it is the spontaneous expression of sincere feeling, - the feeling of the soldier in the trenches, waiting for the order to go "over the top" the next morning, and thinking of home, of England, of Oxford, or of the crocuses of Nottingham, or the feeling of the wounded man in the hospital or of the nurse who cares for him. In not a few instances, the poems, when printed, have borne, under the name of the writer, the inscription "Killed in action," which has given the lines the peculiar poignancy of a message from a man who has fought his last fight, and has done it without fear or faltering.

They had inherited the blithe, unconquerable courage of the little professional Army which saved the civilised world and England's honour in the still-victorious retreat from Mons to the Marne. For, as the General said, in further explanation of what must seem to the enemy a military miracle, something altogether above and beyond scientific expectation, The Old Army was the nation in miniature.

Download or read book The Paths of Glory written by Bertram Lloyd and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paths of Glory: A Collection of Poems Written During the War, 1914-1919 The fact that this collection of poems written during the Great War, unlike the majority of those published during the last few years, contains so little in any way tending to glorify the idea of War in general, will perhaps seem strange to some readers. But the explanation is very simple. Fifteen centuries ago, St. Augustine wrote: "Joy and peace are desired alike of all. All men seek peace by war, but none seek war by peace." And however much, remembering the achievements of modern statecraft, we may disagree with the latter part of his remark, in a general sense his words remain true even to-day. It was indeed at one time commonly asserted that, in spite of the late Lord Roberts's stern assurance to the contrary, the Great War of 1914 was a war to end war; and this undoubtedly seemed to the majority a consummation devoutly to be wished. At any rate most people are now agreed in loathing war; and even the spiritual descendants of St. Augustine, though they may not care to write so strongly as the Father himself while war is actually raging, are nevertheless able and willing to preach "Peace! Peace!" where there is peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The League of Nations written by Alfred Antoine Furman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations: Poems on the World War The poems published in this volume constitute a sequel to the work entitled Martial Lyrics, Poems on the War for Democracy, which appeared in 1918, dedicated to President Wilson. The pieces of that collection commented in metrical form on the leading events of the first year of our participation in the World War. This series continues the same method during the second year Of that contest, including the subsequent occurrences terminating in the signing of the Versailles Treaty by Germany. These verses were originally printed in the Passaic Daily News; and now, collected in this manner, compose a lyrical commentary on events, men and nations during the greatest struggle in the history of men. The opinions and sentiments expressed in them may seem too impassioned for the calmer days of peace and exhaustion which have followed the colossal conflict but, as they faithfully reflected the feelings of the majority of the American people during that painful period, I have dismissed them to the press without change or modification.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Day of Battle: Poems of the Great War Among the books inspired by the war, few need less apology than those of which this little volume is representative, compilations of the more or less fugitive verse appearing at various stages of the struggle in journals, and then perhaps carried off into oblivion by some wind of great events. A compilation captures the winged words and treasures them. It deserves to have an honoured place in the long array of more formidable volumes, for it is undeniable that among the minor results of the Great War is a vast output of war literature. Volumes of history, theory and prophecy weigh down our shelves, pamphlets cover our tables "thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks in Vallombrosa." Among these latter is one on Poetry and War by the Professor of Poetry at Oxford, Sir Herbert Warren, and at the head of his paper we find the suggestive old lines of Samuel Daniel: What good is like to this - To do worthy the writing, and to write Worthy the reading and the world's delight? It is a good motto and sets us thinking of one aspect of this extraordinary epoch of which the end is not yet, namely the relation of its literature to its action.

They lie that will say of thee so! The stars that have led thee shall lead thee The hours of His Judgment they know! Thy feet will be swift on His pathway, Though the grapes of His wrath Should be red; Thou wilt leap to His trumpet, my country, With the might of thy quick and thy dead! My country! My country! My country! There is never a leaf that will fade, There is never a flower that will wither, In the garland thy fingers will braid!
