Download or read book The Fisherman s Allegories Classic Reprint written by Henry Leonard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fisherman's Allegories The wise man says Be admonished: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness to the flesh. Book-making, before the art of printing was in vented, must have been a tedious and slow process. Five men, with the present facilities, can print more matter in six months than a hundred thousand men could copy in a life-time with the pen or pencil, as the old process of copying by hand was practiced. John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress was the first book I read, and that was in German. I read it to my mother. Afterwards I read it in the English language. Perhaps this was the reason that my mind became somewhat allegorically inclined. I soon fell into the habit of making use of illustrations in my public speaking and writing. I always thought there was great force in Bunyan's writings. But I do not wish to convey the idea that I want to compare myself to John Bunyan. My friends here at home and abroad, who know me, are all well aware that I am not a scholar, and not even capable of obtaining a certificate to teach a common school.

Download or read book Songs for Fishermen Classic Reprint written by Joseph Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs for Fishermen To the curious, the romantic, and the devout, the fish has yet another interest - it was formerly used as a symbol of Christ. This use was due to the accident that the initials of the Greek names and titles of Jesus (jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior spell ichthys, the Greek word for fish. When we come to the literature of fishing, we think unavoidably of Walton. His book, perchance in an expensively illustrated edition, lies on every true fish erman's table. It is - after the lapse of nearly three centuries - still an authority on the general princi ples, and even on many of the details, of fishing. Bet ter still, it catches and reflects the cool, serene life and spirit of the angler as no other book does or perhaps ever shall. What shrewd distinctions are drawn by old Izaak: Fishing is an art, or, at least, it is an art to catch fish. What love of nature's delights does he show: Turn out of the way a little, good scholar, towards yonder high honeysuckle hedge; there we'll sit and sing, whilst this shower falls so gently upon the teeming earth, and gives yet a sweeter smell to the lovely flowers that adorn these verdant meadows. What honest emulation he feels: I envy nobody but him, and him only, that catches more fish than I do. What enjoyment he finds in his simple recreation: There be many that have forty times our estates, that would give the greatest part of it to be healthful and cheerful like us; who, with the expense of a little money, have eat and drank, and laughed, and angled, and sung, and slept securely; and rose next day and cast away care, and sung, and laughed, and angled again What humble contentment informs his daily life: We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, 'doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did'; and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. The Cavaliers of seventeenth century England have often been traduced; but judgment must many a time have been softened because this loved and lovable brother of the angle was of the Cavalier party. Walton was very long of life, as all good anglers should be, and his spirit yet lingers among us. He is not simply a man; he is an institution.

Soldiers by garb these strangers are, Most likely Swedish, from the war Which lasts so long beyond the sea And pays the fighters royally. Some gold or silver sure they bore Secured around them, to the shore, But naught of that, well knowest thou Is on a single body now. Well, Olaf, what hast thou in view? What leads this lengthy preface to Red Einar, this, - that Sigurd knows More of this business than he shows. No sluggard he when tempests rave And plunder loads the midnight wave, And small the chance of wreckage thrown 50 near his house to him unknown.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1998-10-19 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Karlin has selected poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901). Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, the volume offers generous selections from other major poets such asArnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to 'represent' their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and Augusta Webster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp-Fire Verse UP to about twenty or twenty-five years ago the man interested in out-of-door sports and pastimes was looked upon with gentle tolerance by his more industrious brethren. The fisherman was a loafer or a gentle ne'er-do-well; the shooter was a good sort, but not likely to get on; golf was tolerated, but only as a Sunday expedient. The man who would venture to shorten his business hours for the sake of playing such a game would have been looked upon with such commercial disgust by his fellow-business men that his failure would have been pretty well assured. A good number of men went carnping every year, but they did not say very much about it.' They were not especially ashamed of it, but neither did they consider the fact worthy of adver tisement The amateurs knew very little of the methods of proper camping. In the light of modern specialization the few books written on the subject seem very crude and inefiicient - always excepting old N essmuk.
