Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Poems Fragments Apology Be more concrete, immediate to man! So did he counsel me, the sage; and I, Taking for naught the gentle guidances Of nature, who in all my life before Had lived unconscious, leaving much to her, I cast her out; so I forgot the sky And turned my eyes into the heart of man. But poetry is a swift, unconscious growth, Springs native where it may, and ever lives The child of impulse unaware and wild; And passion many times must rise and fall And much of life be lived before the word Spring up to utterance and demand a birth. So was I barren many days and so I doubted him, the sage and moralist; Therefore at last I claimed again the days When I was not so much and nature more, When beauty rose, if beauty it were, and clothed A happy impulse or a strong desire In forms and colors native to the time.

Download or read book The First Poems in English written by Michael Alexander and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-05-29 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of the earliest poems in English comprises works from an age in which verse was not written down, but recited aloud and remembered. Heroic poems celebrate courage, loyalty and strength, in excerpts from Beowulf and in The Battle of Brunanburgh, depicting King Athelstan’s defeat of his northern enemies in 937 AD, while The Wanderer and The Seafarer reflect on exile, loss and destiny. The Gnomic Verses are proverbs on the natural order of life, and the Exeter Riddles are witty linguistic puzzles. Love elegies include emotional speeches from an abandoned wife and separated lovers, and devotional poems include a vision of Christ’s cross in The Dream of the Rood, and Caedmon’s Hymn, perhaps the oldest poem in English, speaking in praise of God.

Download or read book The Canterbury Tales written by Geoffrey Chaucer and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most complete of all remaining surviving fragments sections of The Canterbury Tales, the First Fragment contains some of Chaucer's most widely enjoyed work. In The General Prologue, Chaucer introduces his pilgrims through a set of speaking portraits, drawn with a clarity that makes no attempt to conceal their peculiarities. The four tales that follow - those of the Knight, Miller, Reeve and Cook - reveal a wide variety of human preoccupations: whether chivalrous, romantic or simply sexual. Brilliantly bawdy and subtly complex, each of these tales is alive with Chaucer's skills as a poet, storyteller and creator of comedy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments of Ancient Poetry, Collected in the Highlands of Scotland, and Translated From the Gaelic or Erse Language, 1760: Being a Reprint of the First Ossianic Publication There can be no doubt that these Poems are to be ascribed to the Bards, a race of men well known to have continued through many ages in Ireland and the north of Scotland. Every chief or great man had in his family a Bard or Poet, whose office it was to record in verse the illustrious actions of that family. By the succession of these Bards, such Poems were handed down from race to race; some in manuscript but more by oral tradition, and tradition, in a country so free of intermixture with foreigners, and among a people so strongly attached to the memory of their ancestors, has pre served many of them, in a great measure, uncorrupted to this day.

Download or read book Drafts Fragments and Poems written by Joan Murray and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first appearance of this award-winning writer's work since the 1940s, this collection, which includes an introduction by John Ashbery, restores Joan Murray's striking poetry to its originally intended form. Though John Ashbery hailed Joan Murray as a key influence on his work, Murray’s sole collection, Poems, published after her death at the early age of twenty-four and selected by W. H. Auden for inclusion in the Yale Series of Younger Poets, has been almost entirely unavailable for the better part of half a century. Poems was put together by Grant Code, a close friend of Murray’s mother, and when Murray’s papers, long thought to be lost, reappeared in 2013, it became clear that Code had exercised a heavy editorial hand. This new collection, edited by Farnoosh Fathi from Murray’s original manuscripts, restores Murray’s raw lyricism and visionary lines, while also including a good deal of previously unpublished work, as well as a selection of her exuberant letters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Poems With Autobiographical and Critical Fragments This volume contains all my husband's published poetry, here collected for the first time. I have included a few very early poems written by him while still a schoolboy, and I have reprinted in full Saint Paul, the poems from the volume entitled The Renewal of Youth, and the poems from Fragments of Prose and Poetry. I have also included a considerable portion of the short autobiography which appeared in this last volume. I have reprinted it here, as it seems to me to form a far more fitting Preface to the Poems than any I could hope to write. The essays on Shelley and on Edgar Allan Poe and the letter on Tennyson have never yet been included in any edition of my husband's works.

Download or read book Psyche written by Evan Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psyche: An Unfinished Fragment In the spring of 1916 I first conceived the idea of writing the legend of Cupid and Psyche in verse, and by the end of June in that year had accomplished Book I of the intended four books planned in the primary schedule. The autumn and winter witnessed the beginning of Book II and a couple of episodes from Book III, which was to have been employed in the description of Psyche's trials and tribulations whilst suffering under the jealous displeasure of Venus; however, ill-health combined with duties military and political intervened, and when at length a sufficient period of time was at my disposal for the further continuance of my poetic labours, namely during the summer of 1918, the first inspiration and incentive had forsaken me, and I felt that any additional work expended on its completion would, lacking the spirit which had inspired its proemial inception, ring false and merely degenerate into an obvious effort steadfastly to maintain the primal atmosphere of its initial impulse. I then sent the work to several friends in the world of letters, and submitted it to the readers of two prominent publishing houses, only to receive the same reply from each, which when put concisely but came to this: "Finish it, and send it to us again."

Download or read book Fragments written by Marilyn Monroe and published by HarperCollins Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marilyn Monroe’s image is so universal that we can’t help but believe that we know all there is to know of her. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety -- and the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. But what of the other Marilyn? Beyond the headlines -- and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation -- was a woman far more curious, searching and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Even as Hollywood studios tried to mold and suppress her, Marilyn never lost her insight, her passion, and her humour. To confront the mounting difficulties of her life, she wrote. Now, for the first time, we can meet this private Marilyn and get to know her in a way we never have before. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts -- notes to herself, letters, even poems -- in Marilyn’s own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. These bits of text -- jotted in notebooks, typed on paper or written on hotel letterhead -- reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny and impossibly charming. The easy grace and deceptive lightness that made her performances so memorable emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so heartbreaking. Fragments is an event -- an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest stars of the twentieth century and which, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe’s humanity.
