Download or read book Selections in Verse Classic Reprint written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections in Verse IN this miscellaneous collection are many gems that have been hidden from all but discerning eyes during their short life in newspaper or magazine. Thought very lovely at the time, but too soon forgotten, because they were scattered, now and then some old-fashioned person will collect these tender things, which touch the heart and render it more alive to the beautiful. To me it has been a work of love, to recall these emana tions of pure and sensitive minds. I trust that at this time, when the Trinity of Art - poetry, music, and painting - is so decidedly appreciated, my effort to increase the love of verse will not pass unnoticed.

Download or read book A Book of Cambridge Verse Classic Reprint written by Ernest Edward Kellett and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 532 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selection Of Latin Verse This compilation of Latin verse has been prepared to meet the needs of the Freshman cla'sses in Williams Col lege. Many students do not continue the study of Latin after the first year in college. The ample provision for these may serve also to sharpen the appetite of others who later are to make a more thorough study of some of the authors here included. The aim, therefore, has been to make a selection representative of the best Latin poetry of all periods, and full enough to enable the instructor to draw at discretion from the supply contained in a single volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Troubadour: Selections From English Verse The poetry is of the best. Not a piece has been included but has received the crowning testimony of time, or bears the imprint of a master's name. The book would be a large one that would include a hundredth part of that great collection of master pieces which is the birthright of every man of British breed, but although the present volume has no claim to such ambition it is such a collection of good things as any troubadour would be proud to own.

Download or read book The Poems of Ovid written by Charles Wesley Bain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Ovid: Selections Special attention is called to the selections for rapid or sight reading and the carefully prepared word groups. It is earnestly hoped that here at least the pupil will work out the meaning in the Latin word order before resorting to translation. Translation is difficult, reading comparatively easy, and the art of reading Latin in the word-order of the Romans once acquired will be a never-failing pleasure throughout life. TO this end, constant use should be made of the word-groups. The root and meaning at the head of each group should be firmly fixed in the memory when first consulted, and later reference thereto should be rather for the association of words. A little slowness here and an earnest effort to master the groups will smooth the way for a more rapid and pleasant advance in the future. It is surprising how quickly one's vocabulary increases and how much more rapid and accurate is one's progress when the root-words of a language are at one's command.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections, in Prose and Verse Some persons who have been brought to the knowledge of the truth, are apt to think, that, now that they are turned to God, there is no danger of turning back. But such should remember that God governs them as moral agents; and that it is their duty to show by their outward conduct before men, as well as by their inward towards God, that they have so renounced the world as to be superior to the attachments and allurements of sense and all merely earthly objects and pursuits.

Download or read book Selections from the Poetry of Robert Herrick Classic Reprint written by Robert Herrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Poetry of Robert Herrick This volume -oi selections is meant as well for those readers who are content to enjoy Herrick's poetry as for those who. Desire to study a little the things which they have enjoyed. With such a double object there have been certain difficulties some things which are interest ing to the student are very dry to the lover of poetry, and something might be said on the other side as well. Some concessions have to be made to each necessity. I have tried to give all Herrick's best poems but I have also, by including some that are by no means his best, aimed at giving an idea of his work that would be fairly accurate as well as pleasing. I have not thought it necessary to preserve the original and often erroneous Spelling and punctuation; but it has seemed well to follow it where it really tells us something about the pronunciation, whether for the sake of the metre or for other reasons. I have tried to point out some of the things which are delightful in Herrick's poetry; but I have not shunned the discussion of several matters which may seem aridly scholastic. I have also omitted a few lines here and there, as is indicated by the numbering. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Selections From Five English Poets written by Mary E. Litchfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Five English Poets: Edited With Introduction and Notes When a poem is read aloud it is easy to realize that poetry is closely related to music. Like music it awakens vague, mysterious feelings which cannot be expressed in ordinary speech and the person who fails to catch the subtle melody of a poem gets but little from it even though he understands perfectly the mean ing of the words. To illustrate this, put into common place prose a passage of beautiful verse, for instance, lines 3 58 - 372 of Tke Ancient Mariner, beginning, Sometimes a-dropping from the sky, - and then compare the prose version with the original. flthe two will be found as unlike as the flower after it has been dissected by the botanist, and the same flower still on the stalk, opening its petals to the morning sun.
