Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems: And Poems of California and the West The Sign of the Ultimate I stood on an island sea beach, No other soul was there Save the soul of the island, sleeping, And the soul of God in the air. The beach was long and lonely And my soul was lonely too: No being gave me greeting, But above the sea-birds flew. Full well I knew the sea of Life, Full long I'd searched its deeps, But now, behold, oncoming, A wave that landward sweeps. I saw with eyes far seeing, And knew with thought profound: I heard the rush of Being In that tumultuous sound. Power spoke with accent certain, Force lived in that wild roar, An aeon raised its curtain - A billow crashed ashore. The Soul's Defiance Take if Thou wilt my every hope away! Crush down the longings of my youth, Make dark the glorious spring-like day, Forbid the mind that seeketh Truth. Strong One, whoever Thou mayst be! On me cast Thou the evil of Thine eye, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Poems of the American West written by Robert Mezey and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative and thoughtful anthology, many voices join in illuminating the remarkably vast and varied American West. The verse collected here ranges from American Indian tribal poems to old folk songs like “The Streets of Laredo,” from country-western lyrics to the work of such foreign poets as Bertolt Brecht and Zbigniew Herbert. Here is the West in all its rich variety–the harsh life of farms and ranches; man’s destructive invasion into forest and desert solitudes; the bars and bistros of San Francisco and Hollywood; Pacific surf and endless highways; the ghost towns, the poverty, and the legendary world of cowpunchers and gunslingers. From Robert Frost’s “Once by the Pacific” to Charles Bukowski’s “Vegas,” from Fred Koller’s “Lone Star State of Mind” to Thom Gunn’s “San Francisco Streets”–the West is evoked in all its incarnations, both actual and mythic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of California: And Other Poems of the West From your Missions, old and gray, At the crimson close of day I can hear the bells a-ringing, soft and low; While the gay guitar of Spain Lends a plaintive, sweet refrain From the dim, romantic days of long ago, - Long ago, long ago, long ago, From the Padres and the Dons of long ago. From Sierras, thunder-riven, Shadowy peaks arise to heaven - Hooded saints, whose names are benedicite; From the canon's purple rim Downward rolls their matin hymn Over golden-fruited valleys to the sea; To the murm'ring pines beside the shining sea. Till it mingles with the music of the sea. In this sunny land of mine, With its honey, oil and wine, And its poppy fields aflame with living gold; In this Eden of the earth God is bringing to the birth Greater wonders than He wrought in days of old; In the bold days of old, the days of gold, Than He fashioned through the Argonauts of old.
