We united with the First Baptist Church of Aurora and were baptized in the Ohio river, February 23, 1873 by Rev. Chas. Ager, pastor, who afterwards united us in marriage, April 16, 1873.

On May 23 following, a sliver of steel from the head of a tool I was using pierced the ball of mv right eye ushering me into lifelong darkness. And were it not that my trust was in God, I scarcely know how the calamity could have been borne. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Poems and Tragedies I was holding him fast by the bridle, In knots stood each muscle and vein, My brow was all lined with my efforts His headlong career to restrain. A horse of a glorious lineage, Astarte-like born of the foam, Daily fed from Aurora's bright chalice, Brought straight from her own starry home. A steed mighty and grand in his movements, Untamable, bounding on high, Ever filling, with resonant neighings, The vault of the deep, azure sky. To heaven each genius his bowl lifts, And kindling his torch from the sky, On the back of this wonderful monster Is seated and borne up on high. All thy poets and prophets in order Thou knowest, O earth, by the scars Of the burnings received from his harness Which shineth all over with stars.

If society has its seasons Of fashions, so also has the Church. To doubt is fashionable. Men allow themselves to be crippled by prejudice, blinded by dogmatism. Self-conceit Often passes for cleverness, and to profess to know more than Jesus Christ passes for courage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Poems and Autobiography To the many friends who, time and again, have requested me to write and publish with my small collection of poems, an autobiography, I most respectfully subscribe such particulars as will serve, at least for outlines of a not very note-worthy pilgrimage. I feel assured that those who know me best, will exercise unlimited charity in order to smooth down many imperfections which doubtless will appear in this, my humble effort to place before them a few select poems, written not only in the dark, but under many other unfavorable circumstances, some of which I shall endeavor to make clear by the following briefly written testimony. I was born of humble parentage, February 7, 1850, in Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Scotland. About five years later my parents removed to Whiteinch, a small village four miles west of Glasgow, where we resided eleven years. Just how much of this time was spent in school I do not know; nor can I remember much about my school days except a vivid recollection of a rattan exercise that a pedagogue executed most vigorously; your humble servant being the unfortunate recipient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley: Edited With Introduction and Notes NO one can attempt to deal with Shelley in editorial fashion without being conscious at almost every step of the great value of Professor Dowdell's biography of the poet, and ot much of the 3ther material men tioned in the Bibliography. I have tried, however, in preparing the Introduction and Notes, to maintain that independence of judgment which should charac terize all Shelleyans, and to produce a text suitable indeed for student use, and conforming to classroom requirements, yet based on other than formally peda gogic principles. Literature, it seems, is not getting itself taught in our higher schools as vitally as we would like, despite immense critical apparatus. Is it because we are too judicial? Is it because a poem, like a person, invites affection before it yields its con. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sappho: Memoir, Text, Selected Renderings and a Literal Translation It is curious to note how early in the history of printing the literature of Sappho began. The British Museum contains a sort of commentary on Sappho which is dated 1475 in the Catalogue; this is but twenty years later than the famous Mazarin Bible, and only one year after the firstbook was printed in England. It is written in Latin by Georgius Alexandrinus Merula, and is of much interest, apart from its strange type and contractions of words.

Download or read book Selected Poems of Langston Hughes written by Langston Hughes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1990-09-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Langston Hughes electrified readers and launched a renaissance in Black writing in America—the poems in this collection were chosen by Hughes himself shortly before his death and represent stunning work from his entire career. The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who "rushed the boots of Washington"; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in "the raffle of night." They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture. They spanned the range from the lyric to the polemic, ringing out "wonder and pain and terror—and the marrow of the bone of life." The collection includes "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "The Weary Blues," "Still Here," "Song for a Dark Girl," "Montage of a Dream Deferred," and "Refugee in America." It gives us a poet of extraordinary range, directness, and stylistic virtuosity.

Download or read book Selected Poems of John Updike written by John Updike and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback: five decades of witty, intimate, and moving poems--written between 1953 and 2008--with the cumulative force of an autobiography in verse, by this master of American letters. Though John Updike is widely known as one of America's greatest writers of prose, both his first book and his last were poetry collections, and in the fifty years between he published six other volumes of verse. Here, Christopher Carduff has selected the best of his lifework in poetry: 129 of his most significant and accomplished poems, from precocious undergraduate efforts to frequently anthologized midcareer classics to dozens of later works in a form that Updike made his own, the blank-verse sonnet. Art, science, popular culture, foreign travel, erotic love, and the beauty of the man-made and God-given worlds--these recurring topics provided Updike ever-surprising occasions for wonder and matchless verbal invention. His Selected Poems is, as Brad Leithauser writes in his introduction, a celebration of American life in the second half of the twentieth century: "No other writer of his time captured so much of this passing pageant. That he did so with brio and delight and nimbleness is another reason to celebrate our noble celebrant."
Download or read book Selected Poems and Prose written by Edward Thomas and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I have come to the borders of sleep, The unfathomable deep Forest where all must lose Their way, however straight, Or winding, soon or late; They cannot choose.' Fired by his abiding love of the English landscape, the poetry of Edward Thomas is some of the most astonishing of the twentieth century. A journalist, essayist and critic for many years, he was encouraged to write verse by his friend Robert Frost. He produced a late outburst of poetry of extraordinary beauty and mystery about the subjects closest to his heart: rural England and its inhabitants, landscape, atmosphere, transience, endurance and death. By 1917, when he was killed on the Western Front, he had earned his place as one of England's most valued poets. This selection brings together his finest verse with his most vivid prose writings on the countryside.
