Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections of Religious Poetry He must dwell deep indeed whose heart Can thus fulfil true wisdom's part. Not in our own spontaneous will Can we the world shut out, Say to our passions, peace be still, Or check each rising doubt; Alone, by prayer 'tis slowly won, In the world's throng too rarely done. How needful is it then for man From things of time to steal, Those of Eternity to scan, Their magnitude to feel? The first are transitory, vain, The last forever will remain. Retirement must adjust the beam, And prayer must poise the scales. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The World s Great Religious Poetry Classic Reprint written by Caroline Miles Hill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Great Religious Poetry The most obvious facts about this collection of poetry are that it is not all great and that it makes strange combinations and sequences. It ranges from the Psalms of David and the Hymn of Cleanthes to the latest free verse. The great hymns that are translated from the Latin and the most radical of the twentieth century verse are alike only in that they show human feeling about the concept that is the foundation of all religion. Many poems that are far from being great belong here because they are significant. There are some persons who say that our age has no religion; others say it is more sincerely religious than any of the great ages of faith that are gone. 1the most intelligent thought of the present bases the authority of religion, not upon revelation, but upon the nature of man. Man's hunger for God is as funda mental and legitimate as his hunger for food and love. Our age may be lost as to what it should believe, but we were never so sure that we must and do believe. The good swimmer knows best how to trust the water; the best life is most reliant upon what some call the Integrity of the Universe and one of the greatest poets called the Everlasting Arms. The great poets have always spoken with authority. In them has the Word been made flesh. Now a war-weary world in search of faith turns to them. The Bible is an anthology of Hebrew literature-the Great Anthology. If no future poets ever rise to so great a height of constructive imagination as those of the classic Hebrew period it will always remain the Bible of the race. A cursory view of other religious poetry shows little that is not based upon the biblical poetry, but the spiritual assets of mankind have never been gathered together that we may see what they are. This book is a step in that direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Religious Poems of Lionel Johnson written by Lionel Pigot Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Poems of Lionel Johnson: Being a Selection From His Collected Works The name of Lionel Johnson labels a traditionalist, not only in literature but in life. The boy who loved his Winchester had that logic of sentiment which took him back to Winchester's founder and his faith. The Oxford of lost causes, which are always being refound, was that which added its fragile son to the nest of singers who became the religious neophytes of "the nineties." Lionel Johnson is the label for a Christian of high, however defeated, endeavour; for a poet endeared to us, even in those tones that are "lower than his greatness," as Emerson somewhere says, speaking of Coleridge. As all this, and more than all this, the label remains to us in his written word and in the printed loyalties of those who loved him. It is a keen joy to see it placed on the title-page of a volume containing the most directly religious, and therefore the most deeply vital, of his poems. Lionel Johnson was English born, at Broadstairs, a geographical detail one needs perhaps to recall when reading the poetry he gave to Ireland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Poet, or Selections in Verse, on Sacred Subjects These abilities are the inspired gift of God, rarely bestowed; and are of power to inbreed and cherish in a great people the seeds of virtue and public civil ity; to allay the perturbations of the mind, and set the afl'ections in right tune; to celebrate in glorious and lofty hymns the throne and equipage of God's al mightiness, and what he works, and what he suffers to be wrought with high providence in his church; to sing victorious agonies of martyrs and saints, the deeds and triumphs of just and pious nations, doing valiantly through faith against the enemies of Christ; to deplore the general relapses of kingdomsand states from justice and God's true worship. Lastly, whatsoever in reli gion is holy and sublime, in virtue amiable 01: grave, whatsoever hath passion or admiration in all the changes of that which is called fortune from without, or the wily subtleties and refluxes of man's thoughts from within; all these things, with a solid and treat able smoothness, to paint out and describez - Teach ing over the whole book of sanctity and virtue, through all the instances of example, with such delight to those especially of soft and delicious temper, who willnot so much as look upon truth herself, unless they see her elegantly dressed, - that, whereas the paths of honesty and good life appear now rugged and difficult, though they be indeed easy and pleasant, they will then appear to all men easy and pleasant, though they were rugged and difficult indeed.

Download or read book Oxford Garlands written by R. M. Leonard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Garlands: Religious Poems I have excluded hymns and poems which, although not written for the purpose, have been pressed into the service of the churches, and this explains the absence of Cowper and other truly religious poets. Carols have also been omitted, as they would require a volume to themselves. A few poems which might possibly be looked for in this selection have been reserved for other volumes in the series. My aim has been to find room for poems which the most fastidious taste, poetical or religious, would approve. That these poems are mostly the work of those who have long since received their reward is no reflection on more modern poets, and I am fortunate in having obtained permission to reprint copyright poems which will bear comparison with the best in the book.

NO summer calm, no winter gale, Impedes or drives me from my way I steadfast toward the Haven sail That lies, perhaps, not far away. I mind the weary days of old, When motionless I seemed to lie; The nights when fierce the billows rolled, And changed my course, I knew not why. I feared the calm, I feared the gale, Foreboding danger and delay, Forgetting I was thus to sail To reach what seemed so far away.

Download or read book Religion and Poetry written by Robert Montgomery and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and Poetry: Being Selections Spiritual and Moral, From the Poetical Works of the Rev. R. Montgomery, M. An. Oxon Mr. Montgomery's keen, poetical perception of the beauties of nature is deeply felt in this, as in so many other passages in his works. Yet, however many beauties of this order may present themselves in this author's pages, it cannot be denied that his religious, his eminently christian, and (used in no party sense) his peculiarly evangelical tone of thought and feeling, is what mainly distinguishes him from the common herd of his contemporaries - nay, what has affixed a character istic and distinctive mark to his poetry regarded as a whole, which will probably secure him his own peculiar and separate niche (if we may so word it) in the literature of his native country. Of course it is not to be inferred that the religious grandeur of a Milton, or the mild and fervent piety of a Keble, combined in either case with whatever special views, is dis paraged by this statement. But it is contended, that a system atic and intellectual exposition of Christianity in the guise of poetry, has nowhere been so attempted, or so consistently achieved as in the poems of Robert Montgomery. It is for this cause that the distinctive title of this work (whether Poetry and Religion or The Religion of Poetry I know not), has been assumed.
