Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of Sweet Solitude Apologies for obscure muses are so many and so tedious, that the writer of this book would despair of securing a patient perusal of either her preface or her poems did she not remember that a number of the latter have already drifted into print, and successively enjoyed a certain degree of popularity in religious journals and periodicals. Encouraging as such favorable notice must indubitably be to an aspiring author, one who is not quite blinded with self conceit cannot but see the risk of bearing the Whole weight of authorship upon such slender supports. The lavish praise of personal friends is no greater guarantee of success with the critical public at large than isa mere local popularity sure to soften the iron verdict of the world.

Download or read book Multitude and Solitude Classic Reprint written by John Masefield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Multitude and Solitude Sometimes an actor hesitated for his lines, forgot a few words, or improvised others. He drew in his breath sharply, whenever this happened, it was like a false note in music, but he knew that he was the only person there who felt the discord. He found himself admiring the address of these actors they had nerve they carried on the play, though their memories were a whirl of old tags all jumbled together. It was when there was a pause in the action, through delay at an entrance, that the harrow drove over his soul; for in the silence, at the end of it, when those who wanted to cough had coughed, there sometimes came a single half-hearted clap, more damning than a hiss. At those times he longed to be on the stage crying out to the actors how much he admired them. He was shut up in his box, under cover, but they were facing the music. They were playing to a cold wall of shirt-fronts, not yet hostile, but puzzled by the new mind, and vexed by it. They might rouse pointed indifference in the shirt fronts, they might rouse fury, they would certainly win no praise. Roger felt pity for them. He wished that the end would come swiftly, that he might be decently damned and allowed to go. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conduct of Life and Society and Solitude IT chanced during one winter, a few years ago, that our cities were bent on discussing the theory of the Age. By an odd coincidence, four or five noted men were each reading a discourse to the citizens of Boston or New York, on the Spirit of the Times. It so happened that the subject had the same prominence in some remarkable pamphlets and journals issued in London in the same season. To me, however, the question of the times resolved itself into a practical question of the conduct of life. How shall I live? We are incompetent to solve the times. Our geo metry cannot span the huge orbits of the prevailing ideas, behold their return, and reconcile their opposi tion. We can only obey our own polarity. 'tis fine for us to speculate and elect our course, if we must accept an irresistible dictation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Consolations of the Forest written by Sylvain Tesson and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist embarks on the adventure of a lifetime—living in a remote cabin in Siberia—in this Thoreau-esque meditation on escaping the chaos of modern life and rediscovering the luxury of solitude. “…wry, exuberant, and a perfect balm for anyone who dreams of running away to the middle of nowhere.” —San Francisco Chronicle No stranger to inhospitable places, journalist Sylvain Tesson exiles himself to a wooden cabin on Siberia’s Lake Baikal—a full day’s hike from any “neighbor”—with his thoughts, his books, a couple of dogs, and many bottles of vodka for company. Writing from February to July, he shares his deep appreciation for the harsh but beautiful land, the resilient men and women who populate it, and the bizarre and tragic history that has given Siberia an almost mythological place in the imagination. Rich with observation, introspection, and the good humor necessary to laugh at his own folly, Tesson’s memoir is about the ultimate freedom of owning your own time. Only in the hands of a gifted storyteller can an experiment in isolation become an exceptional adventure accessible to all. By recording his impressions in the face of silence, his struggles in a hostile environment, his hopes, doubts, and moments of pure joy in communion with nature, Tesson makes a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary experience relatable. The awe and joy are contagious, and one comes away with the comforting knowledge that “as long as there is a cabin deep in the woods, nothing is completely lost.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loneliness? As regarded the rest of the Merivals she was not so sure. First there was Norah. Now with Norah the process of acquaintance had developed in exactly the opposite direction to that which it had taken with Max. She had found Max in the beginning a little stiff and difficult, and it was only since she had come to Scotland a fortnight ago that she had found him easy and accessible; while Norah, at first swept away with enthusiasm, had, in Scotland, seemed very slightly to have frozen. There were circumstances, however, that sufficiently explained this - and chie y the fact that in July Norah's engagement to Lord Gerald Ar buthnot had been concluded. It was hardly possible to expect the same undivided attention from her under these circumstances, especially when Lord Gerald was actually in the house.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sources of Consolation in Human Life Experiences of thwarted hope, fruitless effort, bereavement, betrayal, sickness, fear, perplexity, collapsing wretchedness, distraction, and despair, are so numerous and so constant as to compose one of the elemental aspects of the history of our race. The correspondent call for ministra tions of solace, courage, and cheer is so emphatic that unnumbered attempts have naturally been made to answer it. A host of books have been published with this object in view. But the majority of them have been mere compilations, sentimental and superficial, without intellectual penetration, and without moral and religious vitality or charm. This species of literature, as a rule, has much of professional phraseology, mechanical commonplace, and traditional cant, with little of that interpretative knowledge and living sympathy which alone are laden with a divinely human helpfulness.
