Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches in History and Poetry Of the ten papers, which have been named Sketches, contained in this volume, some were given to the public in periodicals by the author himself. Others are now printed for the first time. The date of the earliest is 1860; of the latest 1884, the year before the authors death. Four of them were given as Lectures in the chair of Poetry, Oxford, viz., VI., VII., IX., X. All the subjects, save one, are taken from Scottish History or Poetry, fields in which the writer showed a lifelong and special interest. One or two of the papers may be singled out as but slight in treatment of the subject; yet all of them contain passages which are highly characteristic of the author, and some are worthy of him at his best - as, for example, "The Songs of Scotland before Burns." They thus seem to me to be well deserving of collection and publication in one volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Sketches and Poems I write this, dear reader, hoping there may be some good results attained, by simple means. At the age of sixty-eight years I was very sick, and for weeks I hovered between two worlds. It appeared that I was on a cloud; I had beautiful visions; I could see a lovely river, and across that river mound after mound of beautiful flowers, and as far as my eyes could look, foliage that nature could not compare with. When I came back to myself I was very much surprised. I always loved poetry, but could not compose it. Before I had strength to write it down it came rushing upon me in volumes. A large part passed without being noted; that I could not re member. But when there was a friend near to write it down, that we kept. You will find dreams that came to me in poetry. I am not an author or a poet. When those attacks pass away I cannot rhythm one verse. I cannot say I have any power over it. Some of my pieces would hang over me for days, in a broken form. Then, perhaps in the twilight, when nature was at rest, they would come in form, and I would have to write for hours. I am at a loss to tell what this is. It has influenced me to write a part of my life, and give it to the public. It is from the pen of an old lady upwards of three score and ten years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Dramatic Sketches I publish this volume of my poems with a mixture of diffidence and confidence. It is the first venture of the kind I ever made; so that I have no experience of what may suit the public taste. I am inclined to suspect that my style and ideas, because they are so different from those of the poets of the day, are little likely to win admirers. These children of my imagination have been brought up in home seclusion, and are now going amongst strangers. What wonder, then, if the graces which the father saw in them should disappear when they come under entirely impartial eyes? At the same time, I feel that a father, who has employed the best years of his life and much serious thought in training his children, may fairly expect they will succeed when he sends them into the world with the blessing of God invoked upon them.

Download or read book Glen Sketches at Havana N Y written by H. C. Winton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glen Sketches, at Havana, N. Y: With Descriptive Poems It is hoped that the following pages may merit the approbation of the visitors and admirers of the Glen. Should they receive sufficient encouragement, it is not improbable that a larger work may be issued at some future time, embellished with copious illustrations. The general public, who are not familiar with the Glen - its rocky paths, giant cliffs, sparkling cascades, and diversified scenery, in short, with the majesty and beauty of Nature which is here so lavishly displayed - will perhaps regard the descriptive portions of this work in the light of an introduction, as they are merely designed to point out some of the more remarkable features of this interesting summer resort. Should the visitor or tourist, while pausing to admire the wondrous beauty and sublimity of this natural Labyrinthian Gorge, or while reclining beneath the umbrageous foliage of the Glen, find in this little volume a source of pleasure or information, then it will not have been written in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Threnodies, Sketches: And Other Poems Ead is the sullen year that brought me death; But sorrow lives, tho' the dull nerves decay; My life is like this dying gale's last breath, Or night, that kills this brief November day. Once more I watch within your silent room; Without, the rain falls Chill, drips the dead leaf; Your little Shoes, your glove, lie in the gloom; Nothing is changed, nor Changed in aught my grief. Grief is your idol, and not love, they cry, To God and her and heaven uplift your prayer; Nay, let me grieve; grief is my Rosemary, My love-in-absence, tended with due care Nay, let me weep, and thro' the barren years Feed my poor flower of love with passionate tears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and PoemsWalter Hinchman, whose life covered seventy-five years of vivid activity, lived through three greatly varying eras in American history. He knew in boyhood the period when the greater part of the country west of the Mississippi was practically a wilderness, and when the rest of the country was in its first stages of railroad and steamboat travel, photographs generally unknown, and slavery still a fact. During his middle life, scientific discoveries and inventions set the stage for an astonishing material development. Finally, after experi encing in his youth the terrible years of the Civil War, he saw in old age an upheaval which in large part overthrew those things which had been laboriously built up in his lifetime. With much justification he shared the view of so many of his contemporaries, that it was really hard to see where it all might be leading to. Yet he never allowed the pessimism which he felt over international affairs to make of him a gloomy companion. A lover of outdoors, especially in the spring, he was instinctively optimistic. His unfail ing good humor and kindliness were the strongest traits in his character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
