This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of Friendship, Life, Home, Love, Religion, Humor and Other Poems NO one would presume to say that we are to assign definite hours in which to compose poetry or construct oratory, since these lines of human effort cannot be governed by definite rules. On the other hand, poetry is dependent upon inspiration. Having the faculty to produce, advantage must be taken of inspirations as they impress the mind. The larger part of my writings in rhyme was produced while on trips of travel or when at home in my library. In the former I was impressed by the grandeur of nature as seen personally, and in the latter by the quiet and rest which I find in the work room oi my home. To the class of productions which I wrote while on trips belong The Falls of the Niagara, We Ought to S tore a Treasure and Nightfall. To the class written at home under the inspiration of art and life, instead more specially of nature, belong the larger number of poems in this book. Of these The Power of Love, The Linden Tree and The Wandering Jew may be mentioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: For the first time, Faber publish a selection from the poetry of Philip Larkin. Drawing on Larkin's four collections and on his uncollected poems. Chosen by Martin Amis. 'Many poets make us smile; how many poets make us laugh - or, in that curious phrase, "laugh out loud" (as if there's another way of doing it)? Who else uses an essentially conversational idiom to achieve such a variety of emotional effects? Who else takes us, and takes us so often, from sunlit levity to mellifluous gloom?... Larkin, often, is more than memorable: he is instantly unforgettable.' - Martin Amis

Download or read book The Four Loves written by C. S. Lewis and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Loves is a 1960 book by C. S. Lewis which explores the nature of love from a Christian and philosophical perspective through thought experiments. The book was based on a set of radio talks from 1958 which had been criticized in the U.S. at the time for their frankness about sex. C.S. Lewis examines storge or empathy love; philia, friendship love; eros, romantic love; and agape, or God love. Excerpt: "GOD is love," says St. John. When I first tried to write this book I thought that his maxim would provide me with a very plain highroad through the whole subject. I thought I should be able to say that human loves deserved to be called loves at all just in so far as they resembled that Love which is God."
