Download or read book Lyric Poetry by Women of the Italian Renaissance written by Virginia Cox and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingual, annotated edition of more than 200 poems by Italian Renaissance women, many of which have never before been published in English. Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Lyric Poetry by Women of the Italian Renaissance is the first modern anthology of verse by Italian women of this period to give a full representation of the richness and diversity of their output. Although familiar authors such as Vittoria Colonna, Gaspara Stampa, and Veronica Gambara are well represented, half of the fifty-four poets featured are unknown even to many specialists. Especially noteworthy is an extensive selection of verse from the period following 1560, which has received little or no critical attention. This later, strikingly experimental, proto-Baroque tradition of verse is reconstructed here for the first time. Virginia Cox creates both a scholarly teaching resource and a collection of poetry accessible to general readers with no previous knowledge of the Italian poetic tradition. Each poem is presented in its original language, accompanied by a translation and commentary. An introduction traces the history of Italian lyric poetry from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. Cox also provides a guide to meter, rhythm, and rhyme, as well as a glossary of rhetorical terms and a biographical dictionary of authors. Organized thematically, this book offers poems about love, religion, and politics; verse addressed to patrons, friends, family, and places; and polemical and correspondence verse. Four languages are represented: Greek, Latin, literary Tuscan of various levels of standardization, and the stylized rustic dialect of pavan. The volume contains more than 200 poems, of which about a quarter have never before been published in a modern edition and more than a third have not previously been available in English translation. "Exhaustive and insightful . . . This is an amazing book, a major achievement in the field of women's studies."—Renaissance Quarterly, reviewing Women’s Writing in Italy, 1400–1650

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics Anything in the shape of critical or expository comment may at first sight appear rather an encumbrance than a service to a body of poetry which, like the pieces here selected chie y from the volumes entitled sozz'zoguies in Song, At t/ze Gate of t e Commit, and Love's W'idowizood, is already known to readers of verse. The general title, however, under which these poems are here grouped with a special fitness, as I trust I shall succeed in showing - seems to provide a natural occasion for offering some remarks upon the distinctive English note in our poetical literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics From Dryden to Burns The purest form of the lyric is the song, - in which words and music cannot be thought of, one without the other. But unhappily the writing of songs is an art that suffers from a general advance in education. The farther away a people moves from the simplicity of early times, the less freely do its feelings find natural expression in song. Nowadays we have almost separated the idea of poetry - or at least good poetry - from the idea of singing. The words that we sing to popular songs we seldom take very seriously, and when we desire good lyrics we read them in the works of our great poets. It is unfortunate that poetry and singing are thus separated; and it was not always so. Among our English ancestors of the Middle Ages there were many traditional ballads of the finest quality, written perhaps by wandering minstrels, and sung by the common people on all occasions. The famous Robin Hood ballads are among the finest of these old folk-songs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Time for Nothing written by Kevin Trent Boswell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection contains two parts. The first is a general compendium of poetry and prose. The second section is the complete body of song lyrics by Kevin Trent Boswell (aka Magus). That's complete as of the publication date; new work comes out regularly. This book doesn't require much explanation. There was a need to gather all the lyrics in one place, and this text accomplishes that goal. Over sixty original songs are presehere, pulling from solo work and various bands throughout the years. The poetry section is mainly the newest material, everything written since the publication of the previous eight collections. There is no lengthy introduction or a specific theme to this mixed bag (outside the repertory of music lyrics). The goal is simple: to get everything out there while there is still a little time. The world is staring at multiple looming crises of war, refugees, economic bubbles, humanitarian dilemmas, and environmental catastrophes. We live in a time when one must steel themselves before checking the daily news. It feels as if rarely a day goes by without some new firestorm is occurring, whether figuratively or literally. Therefore, it is more important than ever to remember what is good in this life. This author believes that the highest, best, and most noble elements of this earthly existence are love and art. Of all the things that a person might choose to do these days, all the ways one may spend their time, love, and art should rank at the top of the list. Love on the people you love; make sure there is no lingering doubt in their minds. Love them and love them harder than ever before. That should be priority number one. Outside of this, take copious amounts of time to bask in the luxury of art. Read poetry and listen to music. Look at art; make art, if so inclined. Fill your proverbial gas tank with beauty and wonder. Humanity appears hellbent upon annihilating itself and everything else upon the planet. Considering that plausible (perhaps even guaranteed) potentiality, you will be wise to spend your time in the quiet contemplation of wonderful, beautiful things, such as poetry, music, and other art forms. Soak up all the good things you can. There may be precious little time for anything else.

Download or read book Lyrics and Love Songs Classic Reprint written by Albert Pike and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyrics and Love Songs Before we issued the first edition of my father's poems, I had commenced collecting material for a complete bi ography of him; and a part of this material was used by me to write the biographical sketch which served as a preface to the poems. When we concluded to issue the second edition, having considered the matter carefully, I felt that the time had come to complete the full biography, and to edit the prose writings, publishing the entire col lection as the Life and Works of General Albert Pike. Mr. Allsopp assured me of his entire accord with these views, and the present edition is the result of our hearty co-operation. I thought it would be a good plan to have the Life and Recollections precede the prose writings, and I h0pe the public will approve of this innovation. The announcement of the forthcoming edition, with the full life and prose writings, in addition to the complete collection of his poems, was heartily welcomed by the friends and admirers of my father in every section of the country, which has been a great encouragement to me in such an important undertaking. I have been specially careful to nothing extenuate nor aught set down in malice, and have edited the writings with the utmost care and conscientiousness; and the readers may rely upon the absolute correctness of any statement made by me as of my own knowledge.

Download or read book The Middle English Lyric and Short Poem written by Rosemary Greentree and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2001 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Bibliography assembles annotation of collections and criticism of lyrics of religious and secular love, carols and songs, and rhymes of everyday life. The Middle English lyrics and short poems form a varied group that ranges over most aspects of life to include lyrics of religious and secular love, carols and songs, and mundane rhymes of everyday life. Thus there are expressionsof devotion, ethereal or earthly, theological expositions, and knowledge needed for life. The poems are disparate and generally anonymous, and their survival owes much to chance. The bibliography assembles neutral annotation of collections and criticism of the works, arranged chronologically to show the course of criticism and the growing appreciation of these poems and all they can tell us. The introduction considers these matters, problems of definitionof the genre, and the isolable lyrics, and seeks to reconcile some first impressions of the poems, as disparate and slight, with the rewards of close study. ROSEMARY GREENTREE is currently Visiting Research Fellow, Dept of English, University of Adelaide.

Excerpt: ...love of the things That glide in grasses and rubble of woody wreck. LOVE IN THE VALLEY Under yonder beech-tree single on the green-sward, Couched with her arms behind her golden head, Knees and tresses folded to slip and ripple idly, Lies my young love sleeping in the shade. Had I the heart to slide an arm beneath her, Press her parting lips as her waist I gather slow, Waking in amazement she could not but embrace me: Then would she hold me and never let me go? Shy as the squirrel and wayward as the swallow, Swift as the swallow along the river's light Circleting the surface to meet his mirrored winglets, Fleeter she seems in her stay than in her flight. Shy as the squirrel that leaps among the pine-tops, Wayward as the swallow overhead at set of sun, She whom I love is hard to catch and conquer, Hard, but O the glory of the winning were she won! When her mother tends her before the laughing mirror, Tying up her laces, looping up her hair, Often she thinks, were this wild thing wedded, More love should I have, and much less care. When her mother tends her before the lighted mirror, Loosening her laces, combing down her curls, Often she thinks, were this wild thing wedded, I should miss but one for many boys and girls. Heartless she is as the shadow in the meadows Flying to the hills on a blue and breezy noon. No, she is athirst and drinking up her wonder: Earth to her is young as the slip of the new moon. 'Deals she an unkindness, 'tis but her rapid measure, Even as in a dance; and her smile can heal no less: Like the swinging May-cloud that pelts the flowers with hailstones Off a sunny border, she was made to bruise and bless. Lovely are the curves of the white owl sweeping Wavy in the dusk lit by one large star. Lone on the fir-branch, ..

Excerpt: ... we not from the earth drawn juices Too fine for earth's sordid uses? Have I heard, have I seen All I feel and I know? Doth my heart overween? Or could it have been Long ago? Sometimes a breath floats by me, An odor from Dreamland sent, That makes the ghost seem nigh me Of a splendor that came and went, Of a life lived somewhere, I know not In what diviner sphere, Of memories that stay not and go not, Like music heard once by an ear That cannot forget or reclaim it, A something so shy, it would shame it To make it a show, A something too vague, could I name it, For others to know, As if I had lived it or dreamed it, As if I had acted or schemed it, Long ago! And yet, could I live it over, This life that stirs in my brain, Could I be both maiden and lover, Moon and tide, bee and clover, As I seem to have been, once again, Could I but speak and show it, This pleasure more sharp than pain, That bafiles and lures me so, The world should not lack a poet, Such as it had In the ages glad, Long ago! J. R. LOWELL. THE tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveller hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea in the darkness calls and calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises, the tide falls. H. W. LONGFELLOW. FOR a cap and bells our lives we pay, Bubbles we buy with a whole soul's tasking; 'Tis heaven alone that is given away, 'Tis only...
