Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English countryside has inspired some of the most exquisite and well-loved poetry ever composed in the language. This selection of verse includes, among others, Thomas Gray's reflective and moving meditation on mortality, 'Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard', the soaring beauty of Wordsworth's lines on Tintern Abbey and Keats's ode to Autumn, the deceptively simple words of Emily Brontë and the personal and evocative verse of Thomas Hardy, bringing together the greatest riches of English poetry. Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside - but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land - as well as those who are travelling through it.English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to man's relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).

Excerpt: ...groan With pangs unfelt before, unpitied and alone. When first thy Sire to send on earth Virtue, his darling child, designed, to To thee he gave the heavenly birth," And bade to form her infant mind.7 1 The first edition of this poem was preceded by a motto from the Greek of /'Eschylus, which describes affliction as being sent by ove for the ultimate good of man. 3 Ate, originally goddess of infatuation or reckless crime. Later she was regarded as the avenger of unrighteousness; but there seems to be no authority for considering her the goddess of adversity. 3 The " scourge" affrights; the " hour " afllicts. Cf. Milton's Paradise Lost, i. 48: "In adamantine chains and penal fire." 5 " Purple tyrants." Purple is the regal color. Perhaps it suggests " bloody." 6 Virtue. 7 The idea in lines 9-12 is a favorite with moralists. Cf. " Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth" (Heb. xii. 6).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard: And Other Selections In September, 1738, Gray left Cambridge without taking fl. Degree, but in 1743 he received from this institution the degree of ll.b. He lived for six months at his father's house, with no settled plans for the future, although he had some thoughts of studying law. Fortunately for him, in March, 1739, Walpole proposed a tour of the Continent, agreeing generously to pay all expenses and at the same time to allow Gray perfect independence of action. It is interesting to note that Walpole made his will before starting, and had he died abroad, Gray would have been his sole legatee. It was during this tour that Walpole and Gray quarreled, and the latter returned home alone after an absence of two and a half years. Walpole generously took all the blame for the quarrel on his own shoulders, and the friendship was later renewed, and thereafter remained uninterrupted. The sketches of his travels written by Gray evince his good taste and his remarkable learn in g, even at this early period of his life.
