Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbus and His Times In early times, the efforts of navigators were very inconsiderable; their voyages consisted chiefly in a timid creeping along the coast, and rarely did they venture beyond sight of land. The light of the sun by day, and of the stars by night, was their only guide; and its absence, as in the voyage of the apostle Paul from Cesarea to Rome, was productive of great perplexity and alarm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Columbus Columbus and His Little Son Diego. A way-worn man in Spanish lands, He wanders by the sea; - And by his side a little lad: "O Father! why are we so sad? Why don't you speak to me? "All day the silent ships go by, The long waves wash the shore. I'm weary of the silent ships! The salt waves mock my thirsty lips; - I'm weary of their roar! "Along the sky the ships go by, But never one comes near. So soft and slow, like ghosts they go! They must be ghosts, or else I know They would not leave us here! "I think the ships would pity us, If ships could understand! - Why did we leave our quiet home, In the grand old pleasant town, to roam Like beggars through the land? "O, Lisbon was a pleasant town! Till now I never knew How cool and sweet was our fair street, And the window, shaded from the heat, Where the fresh sea-breezes blew! - "The window of your little room, Where many a day I stood For hours, and watched you, while you drew The charts which every captain knew, The maps we sold for food. "Was it those wondrous maps that put Such dreams into your mind, Of some strange country, far away, Beyond the ocean, which some day You mean to sail and find? "Those dreams have made us sad and poor; Your hair has turned to gray; And, sometimes, when you look at me, Your eyes are strange - they seem to see That strange world far away! "O Father! I'm so tired to-night," The little wanderer said, "That world, and all the things that live Or grow upon it. I would give Just for a little bread!" A tear was in the father's eye, But his heart was strong and great: "For thy dear sake, my child, I yearn To be at rest, but we must learn To suffer and to wait."

Download or read book The Century of Columbus Classic Reprint written by James Joseph Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century of Columbus In a previous book, The Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries, I described the period of human activity in which, as it appears to me, more was accomplished that is of significance in the expression of what is best in man and for the development of humanity than during any corresponding period of the world's history. To many people it may now seem that I am setting up a rival to the Thirteenth Century in what is here called The Century of Columbus, the period from 1450 to 1550. I may as a foreword say, then, that there is no thought of that and that I still feel quite sure that the Thirteenth is the Great est of Centuries, though it must be admitted that probably more supremely great men were at work in Columbus' Cen tury than in the preceding period. The Thirteenth Century is greatest, however, because its achievements were more widely diffused in their in uence and because more of man kind had the opportunity and the incentive to bring out the highest that was in them, than at any other period in the world's history. As a consequence a greater proportion of mankind was happy than ever before or since, for happiness comes only with the consciousness of good work done and the satisfaction of personal achievement. And that is the greatest period of human history when man is the happiest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus written by Washington Irving and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 2008 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern views of Columbus are overshadowed by guilt about past conquests. Credit for discovering the New World, we are told, belongs to its original inhabitants rather than any European, and Columbus gave those inhabitants nothing apart from death, disease and destruction. Yet, for the Old World of Europe the four voyages of Columbus brought revelation where before there had been only myths and guesswork.People had thought it was only the great distance that made it impossible to reach Asia sailing west from Spain. No one had predicted that a vast continent stood in the way. And indeed, for Columbus himself, the revolution of understanding was too much to comprehend. He had counted on a new route to Asia that would bring him glory, riches and titles, and the thought of an unknown and undeveloped continent held no attractions. The trials and disappointments of the great explorer are graphically detailed in this biography first published in 1828, when Washington Irving was America's most famous writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbus and What He Found The immortal deed of Columbus will never lose its hold upon the heart of humanity, Whatever the criticisms upon it. It will always be told, not only for what was found, but because simple heroism - the same element which has immortalized Greek heroic tales - will always move us, head and heart. It is strange that, great and simple as Columbus was, we have made so little use of his story for the children, compared with that of other historic characters.

"Was this his face, and these the finding eyes That plucked a new world from the rolling seas? Who, serving Christ, whom most he sought to please, Willed his one thought until he saw arise Man's other home and earthly paradise - His early vision, when with stalwart knees He pushed the boat from his young olive-trees, And sailed to wrest the secret of the skies? "He on the waters dared to set his feet, And through believing planted earth's last race. What faith in man must in our new world beat, Thinking how once he saw before his face The West and all the host of stare retreat Into the silent infinite of space!"

Download or read book Columbus and His Predecessors written by Charles H. McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbus and His Predecessors: A Study in the Beginnings of American History Although the approved method whereby the present-day historian gleans the facts of his narrative is by research among original documents and contemporary papers and by collating these in the most critical manner, this method seems to have been little followed in the history of the discovery of America. Strange as it may seem, the beginnings of the history of the New World remain hidden in the dusk of uncertainty. At best we have come only into the twilight of knowledge regarding even the central figure of this period, for it cannot be said that the full and accurate story has yet been told of the man himself who is the accepted discoverer of the Western hemisphere. In view of our honest pride in our country's standing among the nations, it is far from flattering that we should have to make such an admission at this late date. Viewed from another angle, however, one may find that our neglect in this regard is partly extenuated by the distracting conditions which sit upon a country during the period of its formative and maturing process.
