Download or read book The Poems of T S Eliot Volume II written by T. S. Eliot and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poems of T. S. Eliot is the authoritative edition of one of our greatest poets, scrupulously edited by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue. It provides, for the first time, a fully scrutinized text of Eliot's poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliot's youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time. To accompany Eliot's poems, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the creative activity that came to constitute each poem, calling upon drafts, correspondence and other original materials to provide a vivid account of the poet's working processes, his reading, his influences and his revisions. The first volume respects Eliot's decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication. The second volume opens with the two books of poems of other kinds that he issued, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and his translation of Perse's Anabase, moving then to verses privately circulated as informal or improper or clubmanlike. Each of these sections is accompanied by its respective commentary, and then, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history recording variants both manuscript and published. The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets

Download or read book Poems of Old written by David RAJU and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cover to cover this book is filled with poems of old. That's poems from the past that can only be recalled as an old man who has aged the way an old man should. With a pen in his hand until the ink goes dry which means his poems are now ready to be shared in book form. The old man's poems are much like the synopsis of this book in which he shares the words he wishes to share and leaves the blanks for the reader to fill in. Some words the writer shares are why raising children by the book only works if it's the book of hummingbirds, how an old lady showed that by trusting a young boy to watch her cat there was good in everyone regardless of age or religion, to believe in living is a hard thing to do but even so most still do rather than waste away in jail, why rabbits shake not hop come Easter Sunday, what is the meaning of the turning of brown feathers to white feathers in the bald eagle, how not every girl is worth writing a poem about but those that are make for good poems, how one poet can be more interested in sharing his phone number than words with others, how those with Autism like to be alone but not alone, sharing issues of mental health may not cure but it can help heal, how one Canadian needs to go a little mad or at the very least have a drink or two to realize the poet he is, and how that writer doesn't look to share his poems but rather looks to those who wish he would.
