Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Sketches and Poems I write this, dear reader, hoping there may be some good results attained, by simple means. At the age of sixty-eight years I was very sick, and for weeks I hovered between two worlds. It appeared that I was on a cloud; I had beautiful visions; I could see a lovely river, and across that river mound after mound of beautiful flowers, and as far as my eyes could look, foliage that nature could not compare with. When I came back to myself I was very much surprised. I always loved poetry, but could not compose it. Before I had strength to write it down it came rushing upon me in volumes. A large part passed without being noted; that I could not re member. But when there was a friend near to write it down, that we kept. You will find dreams that came to me in poetry. I am not an author or a poet. When those attacks pass away I cannot rhythm one verse. I cannot say I have any power over it. Some of my pieces would hang over me for days, in a broken form. Then, perhaps in the twilight, when nature was at rest, they would come in form, and I would have to write for hours. I am at a loss to tell what this is. It has influenced me to write a part of my life, and give it to the public. It is from the pen of an old lady upwards of three score and ten years.

Download or read book Sketches in History and Poetry Classic Reprint written by John Campbell Shairp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches in History and Poetry OF the ten papers, which have been named Sketches, contained in this volume, some were given to the public in periodicals by the author himself. Others are now printed for the first time. The date of the earliest is 1860; of the latest 1884, the year before the author's death. Four of them were given as Lectures in the chair of Poetry, Oxford, viz., VI., VII., IX., X. All the subjects, save one, are taken from Scottish History or Poetry, fields in which the writer' showed a lifelong and special interest. One or two of the papers may be singled out as but slight in treat ment of the subject; yet all of them contain pas sages which are highly characteristic of the author, and some are worthy of him at his best - as, for example, The Songs of Scotland before Burns. They thus seem to me to be well deserving of collection and publication in one volume. As these papers were written at different times, and as the subjects are mainly allied, there occurred.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Threnodies, Sketches: And Other Poems Ead is the sullen year that brought me death; But sorrow lives, tho' the dull nerves decay; My life is like this dying gale's last breath, Or night, that kills this brief November day. Once more I watch within your silent room; Without, the rain falls Chill, drips the dead leaf; Your little Shoes, your glove, lie in the gloom; Nothing is changed, nor Changed in aught my grief. Grief is your idol, and not love, they cry, To God and her and heaven uplift your prayer; Nay, let me grieve; grief is my Rosemary, My love-in-absence, tended with due care Nay, let me weep, and thro' the barren years Feed my poor flower of love with passionate tears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and PoemsWalter Hinchman, whose life covered seventy-five years of vivid activity, lived through three greatly varying eras in American history. He knew in boyhood the period when the greater part of the country west of the Mississippi was practically a wilderness, and when the rest of the country was in its first stages of railroad and steamboat travel, photographs generally unknown, and slavery still a fact. During his middle life, scientific discoveries and inventions set the stage for an astonishing material development. Finally, after experi encing in his youth the terrible years of the Civil War, he saw in old age an upheaval which in large part overthrew those things which had been laboriously built up in his lifetime. With much justification he shared the view of so many of his contemporaries, that it was really hard to see where it all might be leading to. Yet he never allowed the pessimism which he felt over international affairs to make of him a gloomy companion. A lover of outdoors, especially in the spring, he was instinctively optimistic. His unfail ing good humor and kindliness were the strongest traits in his character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Fight: Poems and Sketches Having lived, practically, all my life, side by side with the french-canadian people, I have grown to admire and love them, and I have felt that while many of the English speaking public know, perhaps as well as myself, the french-canadian of the cities, yet they have had little opportunity of becoming acquainted with the habitant, therefore I have endeavoured to paint a few types, and, in doing this, it has seemed to me that I could best attain the object in view by having my friends tell their own tales in their own way, as they would relate them to English speaking auditors not conversant with the French tongue.
