Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moments of Genius These studies might be called the synthetic side of the work of which the Authors previous book, Human Documents, represents rather the analytical aspect. A great representative of some form of human faculty or accomplishment is taken at a critical moment of his career, the personality is vividly stamped as in a cameo, in the fore-part of the study; then, as in a vista, is shown the vision of his past, and (as following on the Moment of Genius) the adumbration of the future, all expressed in the feelings of the subject and the aspirations of his soul. The Author considers various forms of human greatness in turn, even the glory of physical perfection, choosing, for the sake of similarities or contrasts, two representatives of each.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man of Genius This book was translated from the sixth edition of the German original by the late Professor George J. Tamson, lecturer in English at the University of Gottingen. The additions to the book in the seventh German edition, the explanation of Ibsen's "Ghosts" in Chapter XI and the whole of Chapter XII, were translated by Mrs. Elizabeth C. Deibel. The entire English version was then thoroughly revised by Mr. George F. Payn, reader to the Tauchnitz Edition in Leipzig, and editor of James's German-English dictionary, Professor F. Sefton Delmer, lecturer in English at the University of Berlin, and Mr. John A. Falconer of the English Seminary at the Hamburg Colonial Institute. In the following lectures it is the author's design to develop definite trains of thought as clearly as possible. This endeavour may be responsible for a certain amount of repetition by which means alone, however, it was possible to arrange the book so that each chapter should form a complete whole which may be read independently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

Download or read book The Love Letters of a Genius written by E. A. S. Watt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Love Letters of a Genius: Being a Translation of Prosper Merimee's "Lettres A Une Inconnue" It is a mere platitude to say that every man has an inner life: emotional, spiritual, what you will; of which only in rare moments of expansion he gives a fleeting glimpse to the few who know him well. And to the sympathetic friend such moments are moments of surpassing interest. The man of genius, whose art reaches the imagination and touches the heart of a world beyond the circle of his intimate friends, finds an audience inspired with a very human curiosity to know something of the inner life of which they have only seen the intellectual expression. But it is seldom that such curiosity is gratified. In the world's history there have been few great men who have willingly laid bare their souls for the edification of the multitude. Prosper Merimee was not a great man. Nevertheless, his exquisite grace of style has ensured him a permanent place in the history of the French Literature of the nineteenth century. It is not proposed to write his biography here: there should be some justification for the translator's hope that these Letters will rouse sufficient interest in the reader to impel him to seek elsewhere for knowledge of the life and character of their author. Meanwhile, two words will suffice to explain why the publication of these Letters in 1873, three years after his death, created such a sensation in Paris. Little of Merimee's work is known in England, but his genius has dominated the imagination of his countrymen. And, perhaps, his ascendency has been enhanced by the strangely-contrasted qualities of his personality: qualities that, nevertheless, detracted from his popularity.
