Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs From the Classics In the Greek myths there is often a shadowy meaning hidden under the plain story. I have endeavoured to follow Greek art in this, and, where I thought that I had caught the meaning, have not sought to point it too strongly, but have left the reader to find it for himself. I have not ventured to depart from the original myths save now and then in small details which seem to fill a blank or to add a point; as the web of Pallas in Arachne, or the latter's choice of her own work as a rope or, in The Song of Sappho, the dramatic justice dealt to Phaon; or (in my former book) the return of her body to Echo when the stillness of night gave a respite to her toil.

Download or read book Sappho and the Greek Lyric Poets written by and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 1988 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willis Barnstone has augmented his widely used anthology of the Greek lyric poets with eleven newly attributed Sappho poems, making this the most complete offering of Sappho in English. Two new sections -- "Sources and Notes" and "Sappho: Her Life and Poems" -- provide the student with the classical sources and an appraisal of this greatest of Western women poets. Barnstone's lucid, elegant translations include a representative sampling of all the significant Greek lyric poets, from Archilochus, in the seventh century B.C., through Pindar ("prince of choral poets") and the other great singers of the classical age, down to the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. William McCulloh's introduction illuminates the forms and development of the Greek lyric. Barnstone introduces each poet with a brief biographical and literary sketch. The critical apparatus includes a glossary, index, bibliography, and concordance. Willis Barnstone is professor of Spanish and comparative literature at Indiana University. He is co-editor of A Book of Women Poets from Antiquity to Now, and has translated poetry of Mao Zedong, Antonio Machado, and St. John of the Cross.

Download or read book Sappho Love Songs Other Fragments written by Sappho and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sappho - Love Songs & Other Fragments Public Domain Poets #15 Publicdomainpoets.com Sappho (c. 630-570 B.C.) was born into a wealthy family from the island of Lesbos, and is said to have had 3 brothers. She probably took up poetry early in life, and would go on to be one of the most highly regarded lyric poets of her time. This collection brings together a generous helping of her surviving fragments, translated by James Easby-Smith (1891) & Edward Storer (1919), alongside a selection of others from various sources (1885-1924), with a 'Foreword' by Edward Storer. New edition designed and edited by Dick Whyte. The moon has set and the Pleiades Have gone. It is midnight; the hours pass; and I Sleep alone. Sappho was exiled to Sicily around 600 BC, but continued to write until around 570 BC. While known to be a prolific poet, much of her work was later destroyed by the Church, in large part because her love poetry was addressed to women: - some 10,000 lines reduced to fragments. It was translations of these incomplete verses, and specifcally their (unintentional) fragmentation, which would go on to influence early 'free verse' and Imagist poets, including Edward Storer, H.D., Amy Lowell, Marie Tudor Garland (et al.). Love shakes my soul. So do the oak-trees on the mountain Shake the wind. Storer, a founding member of one of the earliest English-language 'free verse' circles, went on to publish his own translations of Sappho's fragments in 1915, seemingly drawing on English-language versions of Japanese tanka and haikai as models. Other well-known translations at the time included Henry Wharton (1885), James Easby-Smith (1891), J.R. Tutin (1903), etc. Divine shell, Your song. Public Domain Press is dedicated to producing new editions of out-of-print poetry, particularly with regard to compressed & fragmented 'free verse' from the late-1800s & early-1900s. All poems start as facsimiles - to preserve original fonts - which are cleaned up, edited, and spaciously laid-out, adorned with illustrations, and ornaments from the books and magazines they originally appeared in. These are not simply "reprints" of previously existing books, but newly crafted collections, lovingly edited from public domain material, for the serious poetry lover.

Download or read book Sappho written by Alphonse Daudet and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sappho: To Which Is Added Between the Flies and the Footlights In the very first words of his first chapter Daudet strikes the key-note of this story of mad infatuation with a touch as firm and sure as Virgil's, in the very first line of The Aeneid indicating the resonant clash of arms and the deeds of a mighty man. What a wealth of suggestion there is in this first chapter, to my mind the best of any in the book! From its opening passages, redolent of rare per fumes, bright with picturesque dresses, the wine bubbling in the glasses, the air charged with waltz music, laughter and song, to the long dreary climb to the garret room in the cold gray light of a day that was dawning fatefully for both lovers, there is not a line that is not well worthy of earnest thought. When we study this and the other chapters of Sappho carefully we are at a loss to determine what has the strongest claim on our admiration. There is above all that marvellous knowledge of human nature and the skill in depict ing it which enabled Daudet to draw characters which, while essentially French, are as familiar to the dweller in London, New York, or Chicago as they are to the absinthe drinker who views life from his chair in front of a Parisian cafe.
