Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories in Verse AS this book, in issuing from the house of Messrs. Routledge, acquires a special chance of coming under the cognizance of travellers by the railway, I' have pleased myself with fancying, that it gives me a kind of new link, however remote like the rest, with my great master in the art of poetry 5 that is to say, with the great master of English narrative in verse, the Father of our Poetry itself, Chaucer. Nay, it gives me two links, one general, and one particular for as Chaucer's stories, in default of there being any printed books and travelling carriages in those days, were related by travellers to one another.

Download or read book Armenian Poems written by Alice Stone Blackwell and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1917 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and bountiful poetry of Armenia is presented in this collection, adeptly and sensitively translated to English to preserve the expressive beauty in the verses. Armenian poems are rich with passionate expression, sometimes voicing pride in the national culture, history and identity. Some of the poems are outright romantic; celebrating the beauty, aesthetics and emotive intensity of youthful courtship. Other verses celebrate Armenia's martial prowess; with differing cultures on multiple sides, the land often saw battle. The importance of the country's location at the border between the European and Asian continents finds allusion, as authors nod to past glories, and predict future prowess. Reference to the scenic lands of Armenia, its local dances and the way of life abound in the verse, the poetry often brimming with cultured allusions. Significantly, this anthology includes the most famed and celebrated works by the lauded national poets, together with older poetry and hymns dating back as far as the early-Medieval era. The reader thus acquires an acute impression of how Armenian poetic works evolved through the centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales in Verse This volume is not for the Critic. I do not say that it is not for Review. Such preface needs explanation, and perhaps apology. I give the latter first, having no quarrel with Critics or Reviewers. Those of either class who have noticed my previous work have given it its full due, Often more than its due and when the genuine Critic has taken it in hand, I have always found that the flaws pointed out were apparent from his point of view. I am not myself a professional critic of poetry, but a somewhat desultory student. Still, one who has written in rhythm for more than.

Download or read book Poems and Translations Classic Reprint written by John M. Synge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Translations I have often thought that at the side of the poetic diction, which everyone condemns, modern verse contains a great deal of poetic material, using poetic in the same special sense. The poetry of exaltation Will be always the highest; but when men lose their poetic feeling for ordinary life, and cannot write poetry of ordinary things, their exalted poetry is likely to lose its strength of exaltation, in the way men cease to build beautiful, churches when they have iost happiness in building shops. Many of the Older poets, such as Villon and Herrick and Burns, used the whole of their personal life as their material, and the verse written in this way was read by strong men, and thieves, and deacons, not by little cliques only. Then, in the town writing of the eighteenth century, ordinary life was put into verse that was not poetry, and when poetry came back with Coleridge and Shelley, it went into verse that was not always human. In these days poetry is usually a flower of evil or good; but it is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms. Even if we grant that exalted poetry can be kept successful by itself, the strong things of life are needed in poetry also, to Show that what is exalted or tender is not made by feeble blood. It may almost be said that before verse can be human again it must learn to be brutal. The poems which follow were written at different times during the last sixteen or seventeen years, most of them before the Views just stated, with which they have little to do, had come into my head. The translations are sometimes free, and sometimes almost literal, according as seemed most fitting with the form of language I have used.

The tribute to those who died young is tribute to the youth which they never lived to lose - ih part, no doubt, objective, but in part also subjective, and prompted by the thought expressed in that line of Thackeray: Oh, the brave days, when we were twenty-one!
