Download or read book A Poem at the Right Moment written by Velcheru Narayana Rao and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Poem at the Right Moment collects, and preserves, poems—called catus—that have circulated orally for centuries in South India. The poems are remarkable for their wit and precision, their lyrical insight on the commonplace, their fascination with sensual experience, and their exploration of the connection between language and desire. Taken together the catus offer a penetrating critical vision and an understanding of the classical traditions of Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit. Each poem is presented in a contemporary English translation along with the Indian-language original. An introduction and a concluding essay explore in detail the stories and texts that comprise the catu system. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1998.
Download or read book Poems of the South and Other Verse Classic Reprint written by William Lightfoot Visscher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of the South, and Other Verse The Anglo Saxon is the colonizer of the world. His axe and his rifle, his moral precepts and his Bible, turn the wilderness into a self-sustaining common wealth. Out of his industry comes the science of physical advancement, and out of his love for the great and sonorous words of Job, arises an oratory whose rugged fervor makes, in comparison, the pol ished philippic of the'greek seem cold and almost meaningless. A Greek oration, worked upon month after month, stands forth as a piece of statuary, chaste, flawless. It challenged the eye, the artistic sense. In Hampden's parliament a speech, spurred out by pas sion, the love of liberty, was crude as to form, but as warm and as living as the beat of a heart in distress. With the Greek, oratory was an art; with the Anglo Saxon, it was a passion. With the Italian, religion was a resplendent ceremony; with the Anglo Saxon it was a writhing of the soul. And this same differ ence is to be found in the poetry of the two ages, the ancient and the modern. One is an eternal strife to express form, the other, a never ending cry of the heart. The Anglo American inherited his religion and his poetry. The Elizabethan sap flows downward into Massachusetts, Kentucky. In one it has all the sombre ness of its source; in the other, all the humor of that rollicking age, for Jonson, Greene, Shakespeare, wept; but some of their tears were tears of delight.

Download or read book Reading Old English Biblical Poetry written by Janet Schrunk Ericksen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Old English Biblical Poetry considers the Junius 11 manuscript, the only surviving illustrated book of Old English poetry, in terms of its earliest readers and their multiple strategies of reading and making meaning. Junius 11 begins with the creation story and ends with the final vanquishing of Satan by Jesus. The manuscript is both a continuous whole and a collection with discontinuities and functionally independent pieces. The chapters of Reading Old English Biblical Poetry propose multiple models for reader engagement with the texts in this manuscript, including selective and sequential reading, reading in juxtaposition, and reading in contexts within and outside of the pages of Junius 11. The study is framed by particular attention to the materiality of the manuscript and how that might have informed its early reception, and it broadens considerations of reading beyond those of the manuscript's compiler and possible patron. As a book, Junius 11 reflects a rich and varied culture of reading that existed in and beyond houses of God in England in the tenth and eleventh centuries, and it points to readers who had enough experience to select and find wisdom, narrative pleasure, and a diversity of other things within this or any book's contents.

Download or read book Poems and Verse of Winifred Holtby written by Antony Webb and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was conceived after reading Vera Brittain’s Testament of Youth and Testament of Friendship. Winifred Holtby died very early after suffering from Bright’s Disease – renal failure – aged only 37 in 1935. Into these years, she crammed more than most people achieve in an average life. She was a kind, gentle and very generous person; she had a strong belief in equality of sex, race and status, and was a very strong feminist. She became a Director of the feminist newspaper Time and Tide. She wrote several novels, the most famous being South Riding. During her life, she also wrote many poems but they were not published, apart from 16 in a very small book called Frozen Earth and Other Poems (1935). The Poems and Verse of Winifred Holtby captures the majority of her poetical works, which point to periods in her life, including the WAAC during 1918, (“Trains in France”); her time in South Africa in 1928 (“Hills of the Transvaal”); and the problems she had with Harry Pearson, her “boy friend that isn’t a boyfriend” (“The Dead Man,” “Epilogue to Romance,” “The Robber” and “The Grudging Ghost”). The span of the poems range from examples of her early work (“Namely Only” and “Sad Ascension Day”), which should appeal to children and young adults; to “The Debt,” which describes Winifred’s feeling of the debt she thought she owed to life, which gives the reader an idea of the caring person that she was; through to one poignant poem which she wrote towards the end of her life, “The Valley of Shadows,” which is a poem of love and thankfulness and shows the debt she considered she owed to her close friend Vera Britttain.
