Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 6: Elegies and Hymns In the usage of the people, however, the word has taken a different course. It does not include the poetry of regret for fugitive pleasure or un requited love, nor all the forms of verse in which the poet, to follow Coleridge's phrase, treats of his subject always and exclusively with reference to himself. These are classed with the pure lyrics, or with reflective verse. But an elegy, in common parlance, has come to mean a poem dealing with the thought or the fact of death. It is not an outward, metrical shape: it is an in ward, spiritual form. It is the poetic utterance of the heart of man when he faces the sorrow of mortality. It is the voice in which he answers death and calls after the departed. It is the music with which he at once expresses and soothes the grief of the last farewell, pays tribute to vanished goodness and the memory of noble names, and encourages his own spirit to meet the end that comes to all, with fortitude and an equal mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 2: By British and American Authors, Dyls and Stories in Verse This volume of Little Masterpieces of English Poetry contains idyls and stories in verse. It covers a region lying between the ballad, which is almost, if not altogether, objective and impersonal, and the descriptive and reflective lyric, in which the personal thought and feeling of the poet is the main element. The poems in this volume are marked by a blending of the two elements. They are narratives which have in them something of the reflective and descriptive element. Of course this must not be taken as a hard and fast classification, nor are the divisions within the volume to be so regarded. Many of the poems here have aspects and relations which connect them with the poems in other groups. The idyls have been separated from the rest on the principle of classification, that they are poems which call up pictures of life and landscape for the sake of the pictures themselves. There is emotional coloring and usually a human figure or figures in the foreground. The difficulty arises with poems like Shelley's Sensitive Plant and Lowell's Rh cus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 1: Ballads Old and New Some poems of great beauty, like Milton's C omus and Tennyson's Maud, reluctant as I am to omit them, are ruled out by the limitation of space. The same reason explains the fact that dramas are omitted, and that the epic element also is lacking, except in its minor forms, the idyll and the story in verse, and in its lyrical modification, the ballad. It has seemed best to confine the selections to the work of those poets who have already gone over to the majority. It would be difficult, and perhaps embarrassing, to choose from the writ ings of the minority who are still living.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry by British and American Authors, Vol. 5: Descriptive and Reflective Verse Most of the poems here are lyrics and couse quently freely varying in form. A few of the character pieces have a strong dramatic quality and some reflective verse is but poorly covered by the term lyric at the best. It is interesting to see the larger proportion, as compared with the vol ume of pure lyrics, of blank verse and of other linked and continued measures. As the emotional element of the verse becomes less intense, the melody becomes gentler and less obtrusive, - in other words, form and content are not to be di vorced.
