Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches in Lyric Prose and Verse Spring, passing on her way, came to a hill-crest, where Ennui reclined, wrapped in the sleep of weariness. Upon the crusty leaves of winter's hoarding his frame lay motionless, in utter lassitude. So gentle was the tread of Spring, so mute her breath, that he awakened not at her approach. Perceiving him she smiled and drew near. Bending above him, she lifted from her brow a fragrant garland and placed it lightly on his own, and from her tasseled apron she drew a hundred roses, binding them with the tendrils of soft mosses, as a pillow for his head. The trailing vines about her feet she laced into a verdant spread with which she covered him, and dotted it with petaled stars of choicest hue; and in the heart of every flower, and through each palpitating leaf she breathed the fragrance of her own sweet self. With sunshine smiles she chased the shivering gnomes of winter from the surrounding wood, and from the silences she beckoned waiting birds and bade them sing a rhapsody. All this accomplished she stood apart, and with a silent challenge moved her awakening wand o'er dreaming Ennui.

Both were tall and strong and beautiful, tho in the eyes of one Hope smiled, and in the eyes of the other Memory brooded. The Woman spoke softly to the girl: Will you walk in my garden? And the girl knew she had received the highest honor. They entered the garden thru a low gate about which morning-glories twined. And the girl smiled at the flowers all about her, for they were the frank favorites of childhood. They grew in her own garden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aarbert a Drama Without Stage or Scenery, Wrought Out Through Song in Many Metres, Mostly Lyric The poem of Aarbert, ' like Bunyan's prose alle gory, describes a Christian pilgrim's progress from earthliness to heavenliness. But whilst in the alle gory the pilgrim's-feelings are expressed by the author in prose narrative and dialogue, they are in the poem expressed by the pilgrim himself in odes and hymns, and in the dialogues and soliloquies of verse. Again, whilst in the allego_r_y the 'progress is from the pil grim's quitting the city of destruction, ' or worldly life, up to his reaching the river of death Opposite to the gate of heaven, the progress in the poem is from his contented stay in that city up to his reaching the highway, on Christian ground, leading to that yet dis tant gate.

Download or read book Sketches in History and Poetry Classic Reprint written by John Campbell Shairp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 412 pages. 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 The Beginnings of Poetry The opening pages of this book contain, so one may hope, an adequate answer to the objections of those who may have been led by its title. To expect a more detailed treatment of poetic origins and a closer study of such questions as the early forms of rhythm, the beginnings of national literatures, and the actual history of lyric, epic, and drama. Not these problems have been undertaken, interesting and important as they are, but rather the rise of poetry as a social institu tion; whether or not a definite account of this process has been obtained must be left for the reader to judge.

Download or read book English Tales in Verse written by C. H. Herford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Tales in Verse: With an Introduction Literature has hardly evolved an epic style. The lyric and dramatic imagination of the sixteenth century, the curious far-reaching intellect of the seventeenth, the satiric and moralizing reflections of the eighteenth, turned the main currents of verse style aside from the simple ends of story. Spenser drove it in large undulating eddies along his spa clous stanza; Shakespeare tossed it flashing and foaming hither and thither under the stress Of his passion and his thought; Cowley forced it to take the ply of his curious fancy; and Waller began that process of polarizing it into antithesis and crystallizing it into epigram which reached its consummation under the dexterous touch of Pope. Throughout the eighteenth century, narrative verse, unless quickened by the zest of satire or burlesque, was something of a tour de force; the recounting pen willingly meandered into description, or sub sided into sentiment. Then, in very happy time, came to the rescue 'the other harmony of prose'; a cool, indifferent, flexible material, fitted to take the mental mould of the genial but unromantic observers who created the English novel, and long since freed by Dryden from the traditional rhetoric which might have thwarted and perverted their natural vein. The temper of the modern novel has been preponderatingly the temper of prose; and no verse since Chaucer's could have adequately conveyed the wealth of matter-of-fact observation and robust humour in which its strength has lain. Yet verse was not to perish as a vehicle of story. The nineteenth century recovery of poetry was effected largely through the channel of romance.

Whether this second introduction of the same character may be justly deemed a plagiarism, I leave to the critics to deter mine; though the writer must add in vindi cation, that whatever may have been his thefts from others, he is the last man who would think of stealing from himself, - a spe cies Of pilfering which he would consider somewhat equivalent to that Of robbing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Visions of Quevedo The author of the Spanish Library, expresses him self of Quevedo, in the following terms: He knew how to reconcile the gravest studies with pleasantries and wit. His style is embellished with the ornaments of an adroitly managed application: he has so much finesse, such an immense fund of invention, of ideas as novel as ingenious - so much soft and delicate irony he understands so well, whether in verse or prose, how to sketch with facility a pleasant or ridiculous subject, that among gay writers there is not one comparable to him. Nervous and sublime in heroic poetry, graceful in lyric verse, full of wit and gaiety in his sportive works, his genius illuminates the weakest subjects.

Download or read book Revolutionary Literature written by William Peterfield Trent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revolutionary Literature: Colonial Prose and Poetry If we turn southward, we shall find that here also the rare lyric poets are essentially imitators, though with more real appreciation of their models, at least in the case of Evans and Godfrey. There are occa sional good lines in the verses of both, and the latter gives evidence of the possession of an imagination that might have made him, not a great poet, but a worthy rival of Freneau. And it must not be forgotten that with Godfrey the poetic drama practically begins in America. An unactable blank verse tragedy, to be sure, Tbe Prince of Part/jig, must be pronounced to be thoroughly imitative and scarcely readable, unless one brings to it a considerable amount of patriotic good will and sympathy for youthful talents eclipsed by death. But it was creditable to have made the attempt, and that credit belongs to the Pennsylvanian school, which was more liberal, in its literary ideals, than New England had yet become, and was certainly more in touch with the eighteenth century philosophic spirit as it was then voicing itself in England and France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flying Over London and Other Verses During the tense years from 1914 to 1918 many men and women who had been quite contented to be pedestrians moving to the time of a steady and dependable prose, found themselves tempted to try the Wings of verse. Some men found the old lyric impulse of col lege days returning and bent their words to unaccustomed measures. The verses which follow came from such a motive, and the only reason for their appearance in this form is that they have served some sort of purpose in aiding in the mobilization of the invisible resources of the people as they have been pub lished in periodicals on both sides of the At lantic, and a good many people both in Eng land and America have asked for them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Repetition and Parallelism in English Verse: A Study in the Technique of Poetry Our rhetorics, in other words, have been constructed from a study of prose, whereas the devices permissible to poetry have been almost wholly overlooked.* It is my purpose in the following pages to direct attention to two structural peculiarities, occurring chiefly in lyric poetry, that seem to me to be deserving of much more generous recognition than has hitherto been accorded them. The rhet otics, it is true, usually devote several paragraphs to repetition and parallelism, the latter being treated under the head of the balanced sentence, but it is to be Observed that the functions of repetition and parallelism are widely different in prose and verse.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of English Essays The Essay, as a distinct literary form, may be defined as a prose composition of moderate length, dealing with one subject, and in such a way as to give free expression to the personality of the writer. The term has, indeed, been loosely applied to a wide variety of prose works, e such as the philosophical treatise, the historical or bio graphical monograph, and the brief anonymous article of the newspaper. But the essay, in'the' stricter sense in which the word is employed in this volume, is always personal, always in some degree autobiographical. The essayist is, in some special sense, writing Of himself. The essay thus, in this respect, corresponds in prose with the lyric in verse.
