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 290 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Pieces in Verse and Prose, Vol. 2 It is now about twenty years since Mr. Stewart gave to the world his Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind; a work which is already established among the classics of the country; and which, whether we consider the originality of many of the truths contained in it, the justness and scientific arrangement of the observations, which are not strictly original, or the elegance of its composition, is entitled to be classed among the most valuable productions which we possess in philosophy and literature. It was intended by the author, as the first part of a systematic inquiry into the nature of man, contemplated as an intellectual being, or moral agent, and a member of political, society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart Throbs: In Prose and Verse N ow, I want you to help me edit the national, and I am going to give ten thousand dollars to those who will do it. What I want is real heart throbs - those things that make us all kin; those things that endure - the classics Of our own lives. Send me a clipping, a story, an anecdote, or a selection that has touched your heart. It is in the American homes that I am searching for the literature that endures - those things that touch and pul sate with the best and noblest emotions and sentiment. It may be in that old school book in the attic; it may be be tween the leaves of the family Bible; it may be in mother's scrap book, yellow with age and hallowed by sacred memories; it may have been given you when you could scarcely read through the tears; it may be one of father's jovial jokes pasted on the side of his desk, or in that drawer long since unopened; it may be that clip ping well worn from taking out of the pocketbook Often to show a friend for a hearty laugh. Wholesome good cheer, humor, com fort, hope - those things that make dark days endurable and sunny days enduring. In this way I hope to get those priceless little gems which you have always looked for in your favorite periodical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Some of our friends will perhaps regret that we have brought nothing more from the old and long-deserted veins of Milton's prose, Of Boyle, of Clarendon, of Jeremy Taylor, and of Bacon. We will venture to call the attention of the public to our collection, as a Family Reader, as well as a school-book.

Another, preserved in ms. Cantab. Ee. Iv. 35, was printed by Mr. Wright, 181no, 1836. The story is well known, and was a common chap-book history, in a modernized form, until a veryreoent period.
