Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems in Captivity N the long years of captivity in Turkey, where each one of us was driven to seek inside himself some alleviation of the daily dullness, many of us there found things we had not suspected to exist. For, to find distraction, we were thrown back more upon our own creative powers, and were helped less by our surroundings than ever is the case in normal life. Some found the wit to write plays, and others the talent to play them. Some discovered the power to draw; and one at least found much music in his mental storehouse. Some developed into expert carpenters, and others, less profitably, into hardly less expert splitters of hairs I Some found in others a depth of kindness more durable I think than the depths of hate this war has generated. I found these verses, all of which were written there, and their discovery made more happy many of the eleven hundred and seventy-nine days I spent as a prisoner of war. Few there were who found no resource, and they perhaps found the more endurance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Captivity in Babylon and Other Poems Not through the maze of philosophic song, Nor o'er the wilds of metaphysic lore, Although to these unnumbered themes belong, The muse to-day on trembling wing would soar; - In homely guise she seeks to wander o'er The fields of simple Narrative again, And, taught by voices from the Past, to pour Her descant wild, commingled with the strain Which swept from Judah's harps o'er Babel's spacious plain.

The situa tion to which these verses are the emotional reaction represents a very real and serious piece of experience. It is no mere poetical exaggeration to say that in the first days of captivity at least, the writing of the sonnets was a, labour that stood between my soul and madness, and I cannot help feeling that what, under one of the heaviest blows that can befall a soldier, has meant so much to me, may have in it something that will raise it at times above the personal to the level of general human interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Captive Vigils: A Poem in Six Cantos or Vigils Captive Vigils. Of every joy that glads fond hearts bereft, Poor honor is my sole possession left. Prone on the abject straw - my wretched bed, O'er the dank flags of my cold dungeon spread, Beneath flush'd fever's scorching touch I burn, And turn from thoughts of anguish - but to turn. Dread inmate of my couch, a scorpion-nest Of sad regret infests my harass'd rest; With every rustling straw the waking brood Demand reflection to afford them food, And as wild thought comes rushing o'er the brain, Sleep, shrunk aloof, contemplates with disdain The wasting vigils which I nightly keep, The sighs that rend me, and the tears I weep; While still these watch-worn orbs pervade my cell, Where silent solitude and darkness dwell, As if to seek some breast where I might lay My aching head, and give my sorrows way.
