Book excerpt: Excerpt from Checkered Life: An Autobiography Culling and gathering, I was struck by the beauty and fragrance of the rose, which, White or red, is fullest and freshest and purest. In my fanciful humor, the White rose seemed to take a form; and Eleonore, With her modest virtue, arose before me, the sweet pupil Of my youth, Who first taught me to love and cherish the excellences of human nature. And her sister, With the richly variegated. Colors, from lightest pink to darkest crimson, portrayed to me the treasures of the queenly Adelaide, my faithful companion in my pilgrimage over land and ocean. Thus it seemed to me; and I said, To them I will inscribe the record Of a life made sweet by their affection; made sweet, indeed, notwithstanding the bitterness of grief and disappointment; made more than sweet, 0 partner of my toil! Thus I said; and I thought of the four angels, who, in one week Of agony, were called from us to the presence of Him who united us in bonds eternal; and their innocent Spirits seemed to hover around your names, and to add security to my confidence. None, I thought, will have any but words of peace and consolation for him, in Whom, indeed, times have lost no time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Checkered Life: An Autobiography When I had performed my task, and reclined back in my chair, I could not help wishing to inscribe my simple narrative to some honored name; and many were those who presented themselves to my searching memory, under whose protecting shelter my unpretending volume might appear before that many-headed, many-hearted despot, the "Public." I mused long; and, in pensive mood, I rose to stroll among my humble flower-beds. I gathered flower after flower to form a fragrant bouquet, a remembrance of my finished task, and a token of affection to one whom I love. Culling and gathering, I was struck by the beauty and fragrance of the rose, which, white or red, is fullest and freshest and purest. In my fanciful humor, the white rose seemed to take a form; and Eleonore, with her modest virtue, arose before me, the sweet pupil of my youth, who first taught me to love and cherish the excellences of human nature.

Download or read book Checkered Past written by Peter Schlesinger and published by Vendome Press. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fascinated with the rich tradition and youthful creativity of London in the 1960s and longing to leave suburban America, a wide-eyed twenty-year-old Californian named Peter Schlesinger arrived in 1968 with his partner, David Hockney, to study painting at the Slade School of Art. He stayed on for ten years and moved in some of the city's most intriguing social and artistic circles. Manolo Blahnik, Paloma Picasso, Ossie Clark, Cecil Beaton, Bianca Jagger, Christopher Isherwood, and Bryan Ferry - all became friends of the bright and talented Schlesinger, along with other prominent figures in the worlds of art, ballet, music, photography, film, and society." "Schlesinger was one of Hockney's favorite models and he appears in many of his most important paintings of this period, but he was a gifted artist in his own right, with a tireless interest in documenting the amazing world of London bohemia in which he found himself. His privileged position during these extraordinary years resulted in literally thousands of intimate photographs of friends and acquaintances in everyday situations, taken both at home in London and on numerous trips to continental Europe. Featuring 180 of the most artful and revealing images, Checkered Past guides us with a wry eye through the artists' studios, fashion shows, grand country houses, and gay discos that made London such a magnet during the late 1960s and early 1970s."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book A Checkered Path to Destiny written by Ivan L. Flynn and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Checkered Path to Destiny is about the survival of a young man born in a rural area of Jamaica into the Lower Class of Society. It tells of his constant desire to find a place to call home and a fit for him in Jamaican society. Ivan really digs deep to open a window to the world he survived. Every child has the right to a name, a home and an education. Sadly, a lack of those basic rights plus hunger and abuse all became a normal part of Ivan's severely limited childhood. Some of the odds against him were: a broken home, being placed as a servant in the care of others, a lack of education and many of his trials were self-imposed. The Checkered Path in Jamaica took a dramatic turn that changed his life forever. Ivan indicates in this book that he has always been inspired by people of high moral values and fortitude. These were people he held up as role models, and chose to emulate throughout his life. As a result, he learns very early in life that all good opportunities come and go and like a moving platform one must chose to either hop on or watch in bewilderment as it gets out of reach. Unfortunately as he grew older, he did not always practice what he had learned. A Checkered Path to Destiny will horrify, intrigue and delight people of all ages - globally. Perhaps you will smile as you read this book, and even question the author's rational for being so candid about certain events, but in this writing his history shows not what he wished it could have been, but what was and what is.
