The wind that lifts thy sunny tresses And softly strokes thy winsome face, And blending whispers with caresses Still lingers at the shrine of grace--Ah, envied breeze, 'tis blessed too much To kiss unchid thy curving lips, While I, alas! scarce dare to touch, With beating heart, thy finger tips. The rose that on thy breast lies sleeping, What blissful dreams that rose must know, Unworn by any thought of weeping, Unpierced by any pang of woe! Ah, happy rose! in joy to live, In bliss to die, from sorrow free: Oh, I the whole wide world would give Just one brief hour that rose to be. A SONG OF THE STREET. Oh, like a sunbeam 'mid the gloom You swiftly glide along the pave; Your face is like a flower in bloom, A pearl beneath the ocean wave. On me your glances never rest: Your starry eyes, with grace a-glow, The stranger's care have never guessed; I watch you when you do not know. I watch you pass amid the throng And thread the loud and busy street; So heedless sweeps the crowd along, I tremble for your little feet. Your looks shine out so sweet and warm, The winds of heaven more gently blow. A SONG OF THE STREET. No sudden ill your feet shall harm; I guard you when you do not know. Oh, fairer than the wild rose spray Your cheek whereon the dimples peep Oh, may they ever peep and play, And ne'er in sorrow learn to weep! May fate give you my share of bliss And grant to me your part of woe; May fortune greet you with a kiss; I love you, and you do not know. SWEET SIXTEEN. The starlight through the lattice vine Fell slanting on her brow, The roses white with dew a-shine Swayed on the wind-rocked bough, And waved a perfume quaint and fine Like incense round her mouth Where dwelt 'mid curve and hue...

Download or read book The Wild Vine written by Todd Kliman and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich romp through untold American history featuring fabulous characters, The Wild Vine is the tale of a little-known American grape that rocked the fine-wine world of the nineteenth century and is poised to do so again today. Author Todd Kliman sets out on an epic quest to unravel the mystery behind Norton, a grape used to make a Missouri wine that claimed a prestigious gold medal at an international exhibition in Vienna in 1873. At a time when the vineyards of France were being ravaged by phylloxera, this grape seemed to promise a bright future for a truly American brand of wine-making, earthy and wild. And then Norton all but vanished. What happened? The narrative begins more than a hundred years before California wines were thought to have put America on the map as a wine-making nation and weaves together the lives of a fascinating cast of renegades. We encounter the suicidal Dr. Daniel Norton, tinkering in his experimental garden in 1820s Richmond, Virginia. Half on purpose and half by chance, he creates a hybrid grape that can withstand the harsh New World climate and produce good, drinkable wine, thus succeeding where so many others had failed so fantastically before, from the Jamestown colonists to Thomas Jefferson himself. Thanks to an influential Long Island, New York, seed catalog, the grape moves west, where it is picked up in Missouri by German immigrants who craft the historic 1873 bottling. Prohibition sees these vineyards burned to the ground by government order, but bootleggers keep the grape alive in hidden backwoods plots. Generations later, retired Air Force pilot Dennis Horton, who grew up playing in the abandoned wine caves of the very winery that produced the 1873 Norton, brings cuttings of the grape back home to Virginia. Here, dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner Jenni McCloud, on an improbable journey of her own, becomes Norton’s ultimate champion, deciding, against all odds, to stake her entire reputation on the outsider grape. Brilliant and provocative, The Wild Vine shares with readers a great American secret, resuscitating the Norton grape and its elusive, inky drink and forever changing the way we look at wine, America, and long-cherished notions of identity and reinvention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butternut Jones: A Lambkin of the West The Lambkin's cabin stood first on the left of the lane as you went toward the house. It was without architectural ornament, being built on the same simple plan as the cook's and the other cowboys' quarters, but you would know it in a crowd. It may have been the wild-rose Vine, climbing the wall by the little east window, or the double row of larkspurs running from the door and airily enclosing a spotless walk, which gave it dis tinction; it is only known that there was something about Butternut's abode which pleasingly arrested the eye.

Download or read book Short Stories Classic Reprint written by George Meredith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Stories In those lusty ages when the Kaisers lifted high the golden goblet of Aachen, and drank, elbow upward, the green-eyed wine of old romance, there lived, a bow-shot from the bones of the Eleven Thousand Virgins and the Three Holy Kings, a prosperous Rhinelander, by name Gottlieb Groschen, or, as it was sometimes ennobled, Gottlieb von Groschen; than whom no wealthier merchant bartered for the glory of his ancient mother-city, nor more honoured burgess swallowed impartially red juice and white under the shadow of his own fig-tree. Vine-hills, among the hottest sun-bibbers of the Rheingau, glistened in the roll of Gottlieb's possessions; corn-acres below Cologne; basalt-quarries about Linz; mineral-springs in Nassau, a legacy of the Romans to the genius and enterprise of the first of German traders. He could have bought up every hawking crag, owner and all, from Hatto's Tower to Rheineck. Lore-ley, combing her yellow locks against the night-cloud, beheld old Gottlieb's rafts endlessly stealing on the moonlight through the iron pass she peoples above St. Goar. A wailful host were the wives of his raftsmen widowed there by her watery music ! This worthy citizen of Cologne held vasty manuscript letters of the Kaiser addressed to him: 'Dear Well-born son and Subject of mine, Gottlieb!'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury Climbing plants constitute a huge, and largely untapped, resource for today’s gardeners. Because their habit of growth is primarily vertical, they can be used for utilitarian as well as ornamental purposes like providing privacy, or screening eyesores. In this comprehensive reference, renowned horticulturist Allan Armitage selects and profiles the most useful and attractive climbing plants for a wide range of sites and conditions, from well-known favourites like clematis, morning glories, and wisteria to more unusual plants like Dutchman’s pipe, passion flowers, and the tropical mandevillas. Each profile includes a general description (enlivened by Armitage’s trademark wry humour) along with the plant’s hardiness, plant family, best method of propagation, method of climbing, and etymology of botanical and common names.“Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury
