Download or read book Canadian Poems of the Great War Classic Reprint written by John William Garvin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Poems of the Great War Reat poets are the seers and prophets of a nation - of the world. Their function is to interpret life and nature in terms of beauty and passion, and through imagination and inspiration, reveal the Infinite and the True. All writers of good verse cannot be great poets, and it is only the works of the latter that permanently endure; but those of minor qualities reflect and influence their own generation, and have an important mission in the evolution of national life. In proportion as the individual or the nation despises or neglects poetry, there exists a state of moral and spiritual degeneracy. Materialism prevails, and loyal service and generous sacrifice give place to selfishness and unfair advantage. The memories of the young should be stored with beautiful and noble verse. The centuries seem to mark distinct eras in the development and fashion of poetry. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Burns, Shelley, Keats, Byron, and later, Tennyson, were the dominating leaders of the remarkable school of English poets of the 19th century; and their standards are still potent. Browning cannot be classed with this school. He belongs to the 20th century. And today, Browning, Whitman and Kipling overshadow all others as leaders of poetic thought and expression. More and more are the poets realizing that the quality of beauty is universal; and hence that there is nothing in this subjective-objective world, outside the pale of artistic expression. More and more are they seeking themes of intense human interest, and striving for climaxes of spiritual beauty.

Thy war of peace is won. The dream of continents five and centuries four Is dream no more. Once, on a waiting "peak in Darien," Obscure till then, But made immortal by a single line Of verse divine, Bold Balboa, following the lure Of fell Adventure's backward-glancing eyes, Found the new wonder that he sought. What did he not endure That still another watery realm He thus might add as kingdom to the Spanish helm! Oh, joy supreme of half-divined surprise! - When, foremost climber, to his heart he caught The virgin sight of that uplifted sea, As new, as free, As though it had but just begun to be. Then, as he knelt, a second dream there came: The "wild surmise" His silent followers felt, but could not frame. For who could see so near those oceans flow But wish them mated - nay, but see them so? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
