Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays and Legends of Ancient Greece Dear Friend, who by Corstorphine's bosky bower, From the shrill strife of wrangling law remote, Reapest the mellow fruits of quiet thought, Receive in Jeffrey's quaint and ivied tower This little book. Though from the grand parade Of printed verdicts thou hast long been free, The man who loved the Muse still found in Thee A judge to value, and a friend to aid. Thou, the nice student of fine-thoughted Keats, Mayst find my rhymes cast in too rough a mould For thy keen sense, fed with essential sweets: If so, speak free; I'll take thy blame for gold, And count their coin for brass, with false fair phrase Who blow the nattering trump before my Lays.

Download or read book Local Lays and Legends written by George Robert Nicol Wright and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Lays and Legends: Fantastic and Imaginary As the Reader no doubt will quickly perceive, the contents of this volume were, with the exception of two Prose contributions, written for private perusal only: as to how and why they have been brought before the public, the writer need only remark, that had it not been through those "frequent bursts of merriment" with which the Rhyming portions for the most part have been received, (as he has been assured, from time to time), at the breakfast tables of his too indulgent friends, these at least would have remained in the local obscurity from which they sprung, and thus been lost to that "admiring world," which, according to his hopes, and the authority of the before referred to friends, awaits with impatience their publication and attentive perusal! To be serious, however, the writer feels much hesitation in presenting such an incongruous collection of "odds and ends" (although they may have been enjoyed by a certain easily pleased circle) to the general Public, as he is aware how little there is in such a motley group, likely to be generally appreciated, and, if so, how little likely to be as charitably received, by that devouring and unhappily loo discerning many-headed Monster!

Download or read book Legends and Lays of the Wight Classic Reprint written by Percy G. Stone and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Lays of the Wight In the following rhymes the 'popular' rendering of the Isle of Wight legends has been followed; the historical facts being contained in the forewords. Strict accuracy in legend is not to be looked for; such would often destroy its raison d'etre - that of a popular tale for the fireside. To avoid monotony the metre of each legend has been varied, suiting as much as possible the metre to the subject - from the short-lined stanzas of the Norseman's saga to the sing-song of the broadside ballad.

Download or read book Lays and Legends of the English Lake Country written by John Pagen White and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays and Legends, of the English Lake Country: With Copious Notes In submitting this Book to the Public, I have thought it best to give it precisely as it was left in manuscript by my late Brother. His sudden death in 1868 prevented the final revision which he still contemplated. The Notes may by some be thought unnecessarily long, and in many instances they undoubtedly are very discursive. Much labour, however, was expended in their composition, in the hope, not merely of giving a new interest to localities and incidents already familiar to the resident, but also of affording the numerous visitors to the charming region which forms the theme of the Volume, an amount of information supplementary to the mere outline which, only, it is the province of a Guide Book, however excellent, to supply. The Work occupied for years the leisure hours of a busy professional life; and the feelings with which the Author entered upon and continued it, are best expressed in those lines of Burns chosen by himself for the motto.

Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Lays and legends - (Second Series): Look inside the book: But the world's word, how canst thou hear it, while thy brothers cry scorn on thy name? ...A priest tells how, in his youth, a church was built by the free labour of love-as was men's wont in those days; and how the stone and wood were paid for by one who had grown rich on usury and the pillage of the poor-and of what chanced thereafter. About E. (Edith) Nesbit, the Author: Her sister Mary's ill health meant that the family moved around constantly for some years, living variously in Brighton, Buckinghamshire, France (Dieppe, Rouen, Paris, Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme, Bordeaux, Arcachon, Pau, Bagneres-de-Bigorre, and Dinan in Brittany), Spain and Germany, before settling for three years at Halstead Hall in Halstead in north-west Kent, a location which later inspired The Railway Children (this distinction has also been claimed by the Derbyshire town of New Mills). ...According to her biographer Julia Briggs, Nesbit was 'the first modern writer for children' '(Nesbit) helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by Lewis Carroll, George Macdonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels.'
