Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts In the old legends there may be things which some folk nowadays find it hard to believe. But surely the theme of each is true. It is not hard to see how gentle bodies who had no other friends should make comrades of the little folk in fur and fins and feathers. For, as St. Francis knew so well, all the creatures are our little brothers, ready to meet halfway those who will but try to understand. And this is a truth which every one to-day, even tho' he be no Saint, is waking up to learn. The happenings are set down quite as they read in the old books. Veritable histories, like those of St. Francis and St. Cuthbert, ask no addition of color to make them real. But sometimes, when a mere line of legend remained to hint of some dear Saint's relation with his friendly Beast, the story has been filled out in the way that seemed most likely to be true. For so alone could the old tale be made alive again. So all one's best is dressing old words new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Legend and Life The most important avian legends and superstitions and also to discover in them evidences of apparent truth. Some of the most agreeable and interesting legends of the past were gathered about these guests of our groves Whose actions formed the basis of innumerable fancies and superstitions. Birds exercised a strong influence on prehistoric religion, having been worshiped as gods in the earlier days, and, later, looked upon as living representatives of the higher powers. The Greeks went so far as to attribute the origin of the world itself to the egg of some mysterious bird. Then in the days when mortals did not die at all, but passed, these small creatures, flitting about among the trees, represented to those inhabiting the earth the Visible spirits of departed friends. The Aztecs believed that all good people, as a reward of merit, were metamorphosed at the close of life into feathered songsters, and as such were permitted to pass a certain term in the beautiful groves of Paradise. To them, as to all North American Indians, thun der was the cloud bird flapping his mighty Wings, While the lightning was the flash of his he peoples of other coun tries believed that the higher showed their displeasure.

Rocke was born in Montpelier, which is a town of great name upon the border of France, and was born of noble progeny. His father was lord of Montpelier, and was named John, and was come of the noble house of France. And though he was noble of birth, and rich of lordship, he was also virtuous in all humanity. He had a wife of noble kindred and fair of visage named Libera, which both devoutly served our Lord Jesu Christ, and lived in divine love and holy works. And how well that they thus had lived long, yet had they no child ne heir, wherefore they oft made their prayers, and vowed pilgrimages. And on a day most specially, the wife made her prayers to our Blessed Lady, praying devoutly for to have a child, and was in very contemplation, in which she heard the voice of an angel saying: O Libera, God hath heard thy prayer, and thou shalt receive of him grace of thy petition. And anon she went to her husband and told him as she had heard of the angel. And then they, hereof joyful, accomplished the act of matrimony, and she conceived, and at time was delivered of a son, which in his baptism was named Rochus or Rocke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Birds There is a certain quiet bit of land, just where two midland counties meet, that is in winter a favourite resort Of the fieldfares. There they find all they need - the hedges are usually bright with hips, and with the darker crimson berries of the hawthorn the fields are all pasture-meadows, and the grass is tufty and full of insects; a little stream winds snake-like through the fields, hidden by an overarching growth Of briar and bramble. NO well-worn path crosses these meadows, and you may count on being undisturbed if you sit for a few minutes, to enjoy the winter sunshine and.

Download or read book The Saints in Story Classic Reprint written by Mrs. C. R. Peers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1910, this collection of stories compiled by Mrs. C.R. Peers involves saintly figures in the Catholic Church set amidst a historically relevant backdrop. Of the 9 legendary stories included in the compilation, 2 focused on a non-human subject - the Westminster Abbey. However, both still involved saints, namely Edward the Confessor and Mellitus, Bishop of London. These colorful accounts have never really been established as complete truths, although some parts of each anecdote can be verified by certain events recorded in history. Some of them allegedly real stories, although some parts were exaggerated, omitted, or replaced with more interesting situations or characters. Take for example the story about St. Francis and the wolf of Gubbio. It has been maintained through the years that the account was merely a legend, as there was no solid evidence proving that such an episode happened in the life of the Poverello, although there have been claims stating that there indeed was a troublesome wolf in Gubbio around the time St. Francis was still active. But while it has been said the saint had passed through the place in one of his journeys, it could not be effectively proven whether he has actually encountered the wolf. Another example is the story of St. George and the dragon, which is also a well- known one among Christians in Europe. It has been said that the dragon is merely a representation of Satan or some evil entity. But then this book is not written as a historical tome - it's a collection of delightful legends about some of the beloved and admired European saints in the Catholic Church designed to entertain and morally educate young Christian readers.

A mist rose from moist fields, and hung over the whole country side as if it were November; the june of I8I5 was wet and chill, as June so often is. And as the mist hung over the land. So a certain sense of doubt and anxiety hung over the hearts of man and beast and bird.
