Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pastime Sketches The Final Conflagration "The sun shall be turned into darkness." "Thou spakest, and at Thy feet The universe gave way." - Kirk White. The mighty angel stood on sea and shore, And loud proclaimed, - "there shall be Time no more;" Instant, Earth's keepers from their stations go, With glance of thought, and leave the world below; While forces warring with electric power, The earth possessing, bring the final hour. Now glows the globe, involved in lurid light; The mountains, melting, with the seas unite; Sea, mountain, vale and stream "dissolve" away; - All human works, - all life, - gone in a day! The wasting earth, swung from its central poise, Wide from its orbit rolls, in flame and noise; While endless worlds, on their eternal round, Disorbed, collide and burn, thro' space profound.

Download or read book Painting as a Pastime written by Winston S. Churchill and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume in a collection essays and journalism from the legendary politician and Nobel Prize–winning author explores his artistic pursuits. Legendary politician and military strategist Winston S. Churchill was a master not only of the battlefield, but of the page and the podium. Over the course of forty books and countless speeches, broadcasts, news items and more, he addressed a country at war and at peace, thrilling with victory but uneasy with its shifting role on the global stage. In 1953, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for “his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.” During his lifetime, he enthralled readers and brought crowds roaring to their feet; in the years since his death, his skilled writing has inspired generations of eager history buffs. Best known for his political genius and keen eye for military tactics, Churchill was a man of many talents—not the least of which was painting. Throughout his life, Churchill painted to relieve his mind from the demands of leadership and to keep the “black dog” of depression at bay. Included in this volume are Churchill’s meditations on painting as a salve for the spirit and an essential creative pursuit. His love for the craft comes to life in this concise yet impassioned work. This volume includes eighteen reprints of Churchill’s original work in oil, giving the reader a window into the little-known creative and artistic skill of this prominent figure in twentieth century history.

Download or read book American National Pastimes A History written by Mark Dyreson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the colonies that became the USA were still dominions of the British Empire they began to imagine their sporting pastimes as finer recreations than even those enjoyed in the motherland. From the war of independence and the creation of the republic to the twenty-first century, sporting pastimes have served as essential ingredients in forging nationhood in American history. This collection gathers the work of an all-star team of historians of American sport in order to explore the origins and meanings of the idea of national pastimes—of a nation symbolized by its sports. These wide-ranging essays analyze the claims of particular sports to national pastime status, from horse racing, hunting, and prize fighting in early American history to baseball, basketball, and football more than two centuries later. These essays also investigate the legal, political, economic, and culture patterns and the gender, ethnic, racial, and class dynamics of national pastimes, connecting sport to broader historical themes. American National Pastimes chronicles how and why the USA has used sport to define and debate the contours of nation. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
