The excursus on Gordon's debt to Browning has its source in my memory of a short paper read by Mr. J ohn (now the Rev. Dr.) Kelman of Edinburgh to an Ormond College Browning Society, of which he and I were members, and afterwards printed in the University Magazine, to which brief essay we both contributed some of the instances of the many striking resemblances between the two poets.

Download or read book The Poems of Thomas Gordon Hake Classic Reprint written by Thomas Gordon Hake and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Thomas Gordon Hake The Poems in this collection are chosen from volumes published at intervals over more than fifty years - among them The Piromides, issued in 1839, Madeline, reviewed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the Academy in 1871; Parables and Tales, to which Rossetti gave a Fortnightly Review article in 1873; down to The New Day, dated 1890; together with verses which will be new even to the readers of the hitherto published works. Dr. Hake has a solemn and distinct note, little confusible with the other notes of the concerted song of poets. Only nine years younger than the century, he inherited, by right of his time and place, a tradition of deep composure - poetry aloof from the peril of excitement which knows neither how to contain nor how to express itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though her work is a staple of anthologies of American poetry, Anne Bradstreet has never before been the subject of an accessible, full-scale biography for a general audience. Anne Bradstreet is known for her poem, To My Dear and Loving Husband, among others, and through John Berryman's Homage to Mistress Bradstreet. With her first collection, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, she became the first published poet, male or female, of the New World. Many New England towns were founded and settled by Anne Bradstreet's family or their close associates -- characters who appear in these pages.
Download or read book Sea Spray and Smoke Drift Classic Reprint written by Adam Lindsay Gordon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Spray and Smoke Drift The poems of Gordon have an interest beyond the mere personal one which his friends attach to his name. Written, as they were, at odd times and leisure moments of a stirring and adventurous life, it is not to be wondered at if they are unequal or unfinished. The astonishment of those who knew the man, and can guage the capacity of this city to foster poetic instinct, is, that such work was ever produced here at all. In tensely nervous and feeling much of that shame at the exercise of the higher intelligence which besets those who are known to be renowned in field sports, Gordon produced his poems shyly, scribbled them on scraps of paper, and sent them anonymously to magazines. It was not until that he discovered one morn ing that everybody knew a couplet or two of How we beat the Favourite that he consented to forego his anonymity and appear in the unsuspected character of a versemaker. The success of his republished collected poems gave him courage, and the unreserved praise which greeted Bush Ballads should have urged him to forget or to conquer those evil promptings which unhappily brought about his untimely death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pauline and Other Poems Pauline. Part I. Introduction. Fair morning sat upon the mountain-top And o'er the silent city softly stole The sheen and shimmer of her golden robes. Night skulking crept into the mountain-chasm. The silent ships slept in the silent bay; One broad blue bent of ether domed the heavens, One broad blue distance lay the shadowy land, One broad blue vast of silence slept the sea. Now from the dewy groves the joyful birds In carol-concert sang their matin songs Softly and sweetly - full of prayer and praise.

Download or read book Poems Classic Reprint written by Lord Byron and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems Byron is to be judged by the whole mountainous mass of his work, and not by any fragment of coloured or glittering spar which one's pick may have extricated from the precipitous hill-side. His work is a kind of natural formation, high enough to climb, and wide enough to walk on. There is hard climbing and heavy walking, but, once there, the air braces and the view is wide. In making a selection from this large and uneven mass of poetry, it is difficult to do justice to a writer who was almost never a really good writer of verse, except in a form of what he rightly defined as "nondescript and ever-varying rhyme." The serio-comic ottava rima of "Don Juan" and "The Vision of Judgment" is the only metre which Byron ever completely mastered; and it is only in those unique poems, in which Goethe detected, for the first time in modern poetry, a "classically elegant comic style," that Byron is wholly able to express the new quality which he brought into English literature in a wholly personal, or at all satisfying, way.

The more the subject is investigated, the more certain it seems that he did; that he was quite powerless to repress them by force, offhand; that if he had gone, as a man of martyr-spirit like General Gordon might have gone, with a walking-stick in his hand to the prisons, he would probably have lost his life there as he eventually did in the cause of mercy, instead of living to devise measures, without which far more horrible massacres must have ensued. He himself spoke of the 'bloody days mourned by all good citizens, ' 'the terrible events no human power was in condition to control, ' much as Roland did when he said 'the Executive was unable either to foresee or prevent them.' Had Roland's party been less jealous of him they would never have occurred. Those who are incredulous, remem.
