Download or read book Selections from the Writings of Walter Savage Landor Classic Reprint written by Walter Savage Landor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Walter Savage Landor I feel to be somewhat of a liberty to take with any man's pro ductions - I have had reference both to those who already know and admire him, and to the general public, who know him only vaguely or not at all. The former class, I thought, would like to possess, in a compact and portable form, a selec tion of the thoughts and sayings of a wise and brilliant author; and for the latter, I desired, by means of these specimens, to induce them to read the entire works of the writer. Although Landor, from the great number of striking aphorisms and con cise and profound observations on life and literature which are scattered through his pages, suffers less than most men from such dissection, it must not be supposed to be a full and sulfi cient exhibition of his powers. Only an imperfect view of his genius can be gained by these bits and fragments. If, through the vestibule this little book offers, I can persuade the public to pass into the stately structure of wisdom and beauty which Landor has reared, my purpose will have been accomplished. He deserves to be read by the American people, aside from his literary merits, for his ardent love of liberty, and his sym pathy with all who do not possess its blessings.

This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Other Unpublished Writings of Walter Savage Landor Landor makes Boccaccio say, concerning the critic, that he walks in a garden which is not his own, and must neither pluck the flowers to embellish his discourse, nor break off branches to display his strength. Lying about Landor's garden were a few withered sprays and faded leaves. They are here collected, not with a critical design, but rather for a memorial. All who take interest in Landor's writings or in his life will surely prize them while for others, perhaps they might help to shape a conception of his character and quality not far removed from the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Walter Savage Landor: Private and Public In acceding to your earnest request that some of my letters from my dear old friend, Walter Savage Landor, should see the light, I have consented to entrust them to you for selection, because we have agreed that they illustrate the genial and affectionate side of a nature which some have thought rugged, and this in a way not to be discerned in the published memoirs of his life. They cover nearly a quarter of a century. I could wish for the sake of those who read them that these letters to my family had been less extravagantly eulogistic; but if they had been too closely pruned, they would have lost something of their originality.

This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shorter Works of Walter Savage Landor Cleone! I write from Athens. I hasten to meet your reproaches, and to sti e them in my embrace. It was wrong to have left Miletus at all it was wrong to have parted from you without entrusting you with my secret. N o, no, neither was wrong. I have with stood many tears, my sweet Cleone, but never yours; you could always do what you would with me and I should have been windbound by you on the Maeander, as surely and inexorably as the eet at Aulis by Diana. Ionia is far more beautiful than Attica, Miletus than Athens; for about Athens there is no verdure, no spacious and full and owing river, few gardens, many olive-trees, so many indeed that we seem to be in an eternal cloud of dust. However, when the sea breezes blow, this tree itself looks beautiful; it looks, in its pliable and undulating branches, irresolute as Ariadne when she was urged to y, and pale as Orithyia when she was borne away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Walter Savage Landor There seems to be no need to prefix any words at all to my volume of Landor's verse. There is little to say that has not been said, and to the last word I do not aspire. The "last word" of criticism, my friend Mr. Birrell very shrewdly says, may be left to the "last man." It has been my wish to do something to bring the poetry of Landor within reach of the public, but here my desires have an end. I have not the showman's art. To preface a great author, to take the chair for a great speaker - to do these things to the admiration of practised editors, and incurable chairmen, requires an ampler prose than mine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works and Life of Walter Savage Landor, Vol. 1: The Life Acting on this permission, it was proposed to print a Selection only; and by the plan of carefully abridging each dialogue rather than wholly omitting any, the number and variety in the subjects would have remained to show the greatest marvel of Landor's remarkable achievement. But after much progress in this, its profoundly unsatisfactory result compelled me to lay it aside. When the necessary reductions had been made, stores of wisdom and of wit undoubtedly were left; everywhere there were striking aphorisms, concise and penetrating observations, exquisite criticism, surpassing strength as well as loveliness of language; but what had most given life to each Conversation was gone. The proper setting for its jewels of speech or thought, the vividness of character, the subtlety of imagination, seemed to be no longer there. A remark made in my Life was thus put to the proof. In this it was said that though Landor's five-act dramas were only dialogues in verse, his prose dialogues were one-act dramas; and that, however freely his talkers might borrow their opinions from himself, the dramatic conditions incident to their talk were never in any case lost sight of.
