Earth, heaven and ocean Leap to the touch of sweet, swift-footed light Adown yon orient atmosphere dawn-dancing, Quick-shafted from the Asian mountain-ridge Distant upon the lordly continent! And this green isle with cliffs surf-circled standeth, A gem amid the many-murmuring waters, White-ring'd with the wine-wonder of the sea. And ever 'twixt mine isle and that far shore The shimmering wind-rows of the wave advancing Come gleaming onward at a wide approach, Feeding the eye of the mind with impulse urgent (Out of the new-born day and fountain'd Ida, Out of the swift-oncoming air and ocean Or hither-streaming, sweet, quick-footed light) To sing to-day once more, as many a day I sang; as none before mine hour have sung-it In palace or in herdsman's hut, in ship On ocean beaten or the rocky place Of some high altar mountainward; to sing The strife of men and gods (sith gods impel About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Poetry and Personality written by Steven Jay Van Zoeren and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of the hermeneutics of China's earliest classic, the Book of Odes, which was probably compiled about the 6th century BC. Neither a reading of the Odes as such, nor yet a history of their interpretation, this study attempts rather to trace the principles that guided the interpretation of the Odes over some two thousand years of Chinese history. The book begins by tracing the rise and development in China of the disposition to treat certain 'classical' texts as the ultimate repositories of the culture's values and norms, a disposition that was to shape the political, social, and cultural institutions of traditional China. A notable example was the examination system, which tested candidates for state office on their knowledge of the canon, in the process making questions concerning the interpretation of the canon prominent in public as well as in private life. The author then describes the emergence of the distinctive and influential hermeneutic associated with the Odes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems, Narrative and Lyrical: Required for College Entrance The history of the world must be interpreted in terms of personality for it is through the lives of great men that great events are revealed. In the crises of history, periods of revolt against a low conception of God and man, - from the time of Job and Prometheus, to that of Newman and Arnold, men have arisen whose trumpet notes have been a call to more seri ous thought and more determined action. They have been misunderstood in proportion as their message was a summons to sacrifice cherished ideas and habitual modes of action 5 but time, the great revealer of truth, has evolved reverent criticism which on its moral side is a study of conduct, and on its aes thetic a perception of beauty. A right perspective is thus attained by which justice, though late, is done to the past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Great American Poets As poetry is the highest form of literary expression, and as children are attracted by the music of rhyme and rhythm, these sketches have been devoted to the lives of poets. The works of other men live, but their personality dies out of their labors; the poet who reproduces himself in his creation, as no other artist does or can, goes down to posterity with all of his per sonality blended with whatever is imperishable in his song. A single lyric is enough, if one can only find in his soul and finish in his intellect one of those jewels fit to sparkle on the stretched forefinger of all time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Perpetual Light: A Memorial I think that is the truth. This is the only means I have at present of acknowledging publicly the vast debt I owe to her. As I turn these poems over - if they are even to be called poems - I realize that they can never begin to express what 'her personality was. The earliest ones were written by a boy who was in love, and the latest by a man who has suddenly stepped into the dark. Those between are fragments from the days when we were struggling along together at the everyday tasks and outside interests and dreams that possessed us. The war entered our lives to change them in September, 1917. The poem, Man Possessed, was written within sound of her actual voice, the others all in absence from her at various times and in moods made strange by absence. And yet this is all I have at present to give in her memory. But I hold by these because - though they are poor, freakish fragments as far as any real expression of her is concerned - they were made for her.

Download or read book Schiller s Poems written by Friedrich Schiller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schiller's Poems: Edited With Introduction and Notes All that a poet can give us is his individuality. This must therefore be worthy of exhibition to the world and to posterity. To dignify this personality as much as possible, to refine it until it attains the purest and noblest humanity, this must be his first and para mount concern, before he may venture to appeal to the sympathy of worthy men. Schiller himself bears triumphantly this severe test, which he applied with excessive rigor to an older contemporary in his review of Bilrger's lyric poetry. The main purpose of the present volume is to present Schiller's personality as expressed in his poems; a personality that compelled the homage and won the affection of such men as Humboldt and Goethe, and that through a century full of vicissitudes and rich in literary development has made Schiller always in the widest sense the best beloved of German authors. There have been periods of violent reaction from Schiller's literary theory and manner; but the attacks made upon him have always been either conscious or involuntary tributes to the power of his individuality and of his influence; and none of them have ever availed to shake his popularity or to drag him down from his eminence as the sharer with Goethe of the highest glory in German literature.

Download or read book Personality in Literature Classic Reprint written by R. A. Scott-James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personality in Literature Mr. Balfour does, indeed, make a proper distino tion between art as technical dexterity and art as related to the sublime, the beautiful, the pathetic, the humorous, the melodious, and admits that 'it is possible to apply an objective test to technical skill - to decide that this line scans, that this 'rhyme is flawless, that these bars in music are in such-and-such a key. But he will allow no objective grounds of excellence to art in the more important sense. If you say that this poem is beautiful or sublime, you are asserting what is only true for you, a mere personal preference which others need not be expected to share. Not only do men of trained sensibility differ from the uncultured, but they differ equally from one another. He cites the evidence of Greek music to show how widely the cultured of one nation and epoch may differ from the cultured of other nations and epochs. Having laid it down as an axiom that our aesthetic judgments are for the most part immediate, and, so to speak, intuitive, and observing that the fastidious differ among themselves, and that their delight in fine objects is no more intense than the delight of the vulgar in coarser themes, he proceeds to the con elusion that there can be no valid right or wrong in taste, no absolute standard of beauty. He even maintains that art is not based upon any special faculty for perceiving the true. I can find no justification in experience for associating great art with penetrating insight.

Download or read book Lines of Battle and Other Poems Classic Reprint written by Henry Howard Brownell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lines of Battle, and Other Poems Little did he crave Men's praises; modestly, with kindly mirth, Not sad, nor bitter, he accepted fate Drank deep of life, knew books, and hearts of men, Cities and camps, and war's immortal woe, Yet bore through all (such virtue in him sate, His spirit is not whiter now than then) A simple, loyal nature pure as snow. To find another poem by Mr. Aldrich, devoted to the praise of Brownell's work as hearty as this praise of his personality; to find Lowell uttering words almost as enthu siastic as Dr. Holmes's about the Norse hearted poems they both admired; and to note the present oblivion into which the poet and his poems have certainly fallen, is to ask one's self whether the best opinion of Brownell's contemporaries was entirely wrong, or whether it has been our mistake to permit fame to elude one Whose hold upon it seemed for a time so secure. A betteracquaintance with the man and his work may serve to throw some light upon the whole matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Whittier His Poetry written by William Henry Hudson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whittier His Poetry A Glance through the pages of this little book will surface to disclose the general plan of the series of which it forms a part. Only a few words of explanation, therefore, will be necessary. The point of departure is the undeniable fact that with the vast majority of young students of literature a living interest in the work of any poet can best be aroused, and an intelligent appreciation of it secured, when it is immediately associated with the character and career of the poet himself. The cases are indeed few and far between in which much fresh light will not be thrown upon a poem by some knowledge of the personality of the writer, while it will often be found that the most direct - perhaps even the only - way to the heart of its meaning lies through a consideration of the circumstances in which it had its birth. The purely aesthetic critic may possibly object that a poem should be regarded simply as a self-contained and detached piece of art, having no personal affiliations or bearings. Of the validity of this as an abstract principle nothing need now be said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

McMillin His Liberty Loan poems attracted the attention of the Liberty Loan Committees both in Boston and Washington, and they obtained permission from him to use them in the various campaigns. They were so used both before and after his death. In these later years he was kept busy with stories of great international crises and calamities.
