Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gossamer and Snowdrift: The Posthumous Poems The name of Charles Mackay is so well known in England and America, and his fame as a poet is so firmly established, that it is scarcely necessary for me to go into the matter at any length. His poetry has the vital glow; his songs are marked for immortality. They have the glamour of truth about them. And what says Emerson? "He who writes to his own heart writes to an eternal public." Such was eminently the case with Charles Mackay, - the People's Poet, as he is fondly called by hundreds of thousands, - one who loved nature and human nature, and wrote of both in clear, outspoken tones, - a lark singing in the dawn of a new day, and having at heart the welfare of humanity.

Excerpt: ...and of Gaul; What seas of blood in warfare spilt, What hecatombs of heroes slain, What ruthless misery and guilt, What myriad battles, fought in vain. IV. O Italy! superbly fair! O matron, beautiful and chaste! To wanton with thy raven hair, And loose the girdle from thy waist, The kings and robbers of the world, Have fought and wrestled evermore, And only kiss'd thy lips impearl'd, To stain thy lovely breast with gore! v. With mangled limbs and bleeding head Chain-bound in many an iron coil, Death-smitten wert thou! but not dead--A prize for ruffians to despoil; Ruffians impervious to remorse, Enthralled and haunted by thy charms, Who'd rather trample on thy corpse Than yield thee to another's arms. VI. Brave Italy! thou couldst not die! Thy sons, beneath their tyrants' yoke, Looked up to God's benignant sky With faith that never failed--or broke; They revelled in the realms of thought, And dared oppression to subdue The love they felt, the truths they sought In Art and Science--old or new. VIL They raised in Dante's grasp sublime The blazing torch of epic song; Taught Tasso the heroic rhyme For after ages to prolong: Taught Michael Angelo to wield The magic brush that witch'd mankind, And forced the marble block to yield The gods and goddesses of mind. VIII. They filled the world with fairer forms Than dull reality supplies, Except to those whom Fancy warms To gaze with sympathetic eyes; And gave to Europe, trodden low Beneath the heels of armed men, A light to lead it--and to show How it might rise to life again. IX. By Knowledge, Poetry and Art, And Union under wise control, In field and town and trading mart, To crush the despots of the soul, Wear them as waters wear the rocks When ocean tides their strength assail, And not by fitful...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Who was Marie Corelli?' shrieked the news headlines after she died in 1924, but no-one really knew. Her past was obscured by such a fog of lies and concealment that it was impossible to unravel.In the 1890s her novels were eagerly devoured by millions around the world, her readers ranging from Queen Victoria and Gladstone to the lowest of shop girls. It was known that the famous authoress had dined with the Prince of Wales, entertained Sarah Bernhardt and Ellen Terry, and even managed to split Stratford-upon-Avon into warring factions.In all she wrote thirty-one books, the majority of which were phenomenal bestsellers, in which she dealt intriguingly with the popular themes of the day, spiritualism, science, romance, transcendentalism and religion. At the height of her success Corelli was reputedly one of the most highly paid, and undoubtedly the best selling author in England. Yet the critics generally ignored her or belittled her work.Setting Corelli's story against the context of her time, it tells how she blazed into fame from nothing to become the bestselling novelist of her generation. Born around 1855, Marie, desperate to escape the shame of illegitimacy, had fabricated several different pasts, changed her name from Minnie Mackay to Marie Corelli and knocked fourteen years off her age. In 1886 she published her first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds and rapidly achieved success.In 1899, after a serious illness she moved to Stratford-upon-Avon with her devoted companion, Bertha Vyver. Here she became one of the first conservationists. She bestowed money on many worthy causes, but was constantly at war with the local council for her insistence on the preservation of the town's old houses. When she died in 1924 crowds gathered outside her home. The press - capitalising on her outstanding popularity - invented fantastic stories about her origins. The mystery of Marie Corelli, however, has never been solved. After her death she faded from public memory, but today she is once again being recognised for her extraordinary place in Victorian society and her remarkable ability to captivate the reading public of her era.
