Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, Poems and Selected Prose Writings A Desire for some collection of the writings of David Gray, and for some adequate account of his life, was expressed at the time of his death, last March, very generally in his own city and by many voices elsewhere. Several friends, who felt moved thereby, came together and formed what may rightly be called a self constituted committee of publication. They were: The Hon. James O. Putnam, the Hon. Henry A. Richmond, Mr. James N. Johnston, Mr. John G. Milburn, Miss Annie R. Annan, and the present writer. In the editorship of the work, which the latter undertook at the request of his associates, he has had their help in many ways and their counsel throughout. The labor of collecting the scattered poems of Mr. Gray, from scrap-books and portfolios, from the tiles of newspapers and magazines, and from other places of obscure burial, was performed by Miss Annan and Mr. Johnston.

He particularly was unrivalled in English, and as an orator he was brilliant. But his education was far broader than that afforded by the high school. The library almost became his home.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Prose Writings of Mrs. Emma C. Embury But to those who think deeply, and feel vividly, expression is a necessity of their being. They must speak or die. Some find their utterance in the interchange of socialities, some in discours ing elegant music; some speak in the wordless tints of painting; some few work out the ideal of their souls in the enduring marble, and some send forth their thoughts, winged by poesy, to the far winds of heaven. Yet there are still left many to whom are denied all these resources. There are some who have all the elements of power within them, but have never had their lips touched with the live coal from the altar, which was to the pro phet both inspiration and expression. There are some who seem, like Zacharias, to be struck dumb by the very power which brings the promise of blessing: some to whom self-distrust is an incubus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Prose Writings, Vol. 2 of 2 "The world is empty, the heart is dead surely! In this world, plainly, all seemeth amiss." It went to my heart when they cleared the old parlour of the venerable family furniture, and stripped the oak panels of the prints of the months, - July with her large fan and full ruffles at the elbows, and January in her muff and tippet. They would have pulled down the panels, too, to make the room as smart and bright as paper could make it; but placing my back against them, I swore by the spirit of my grandfather, that not a joint in the old work should be started while I could stand to defend it. And I have my revenge when I see how pert, insignificant, and raw every thing looks, surrounded by the high and dark walls of the apartment. But the old furniture was huddled together topsy-turvy in the garret. The round oak table, which had many a day smoked with the substantial dinners of former times, lost one of its leaves by too rough handling; but an old oak desk, at which my grand father in his days of courtship was wont to pen epistles and sonnets to my grandmother, escaped the violence of the revolution with only a few scratches.

It came from Heaven - its power archangels knew, When this fair globe first rounded to their view; When the young sun revealed each glorious scene Where oceans gathered and where lands grew green; When earth's dead dust in joyful myriads swarmed, And the first man with God's own breath was warmed It reigned in Eden - when that man first woke, Its kindling influence from his eye-balls spoke; No roving childhood, no exploring youth, Lured him along, till wonder chilled to truth; Full-formed at once, his subject world he trod, And gazed upon the labors of his God; On all, by turns, his chartered glance was cast, While each pleased best as each appeared the last; But when She came, in nature's blameless pride, Bone of his bone, his heaven-anointed bride, All meaner objects faded from his sight, And sense turned giddy with the new delight; Those charmed his eye, but this entranced his soul, Another self, queen-wonder of the whole!

The poems are simple and unpretending. My Muse, however, is somewhat capricious. She is sometimes grave and sometimes gay, and occasionally inclined to be satirical. The present volume exhibits specimens of my moody but delight ful companion. She is ever to me a source of ineffable pleasure. She is too independent' to court the favors of the great, and shrinks from seeking the applause of the vulgar. Her joys are in the sanctuary of the domestic circle. My task is simply to give to the world the promptings of her inspiration. Should they be received with the smiles of favor, she may be encouraged to future exertion; but should the tribunal of the public, before.

Download or read book The Prose Writings of James Clarence Mangan Classic Reprint written by James Clarence Mangan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prose Writings of James Clarence Mangan The present volume is an attempt to comply with a request, frequently made to the editor, for a selection from Mangan's prose writings. That such a collection was necessary the volume itself may prove; but when it is remembered that fully four-fifths of the matter here brought together has never before found shelter between the overs of a book, it may at least be assumed that it will be interesting to admirers of the poet. The reader will hardly expect to find anything so distinguished as in the "Poems" - the magical power which enabled Mangan to rise from height to height of poetical achievement is almost altogether absent - but there are purple passages which, when quoted in the present writer's "Life" of the poet, suggested to more than one eminent critic the idea that the collection of some of Mangan's prose was a necessary and important duty. Whatever else the reader may find, however, he is sure to find Mangan. His quaint personality is in everything he wrote, and to the lovers of Mangan - a host gathering strength every day - that in itself is a considerable attraction. To expect a serious work in prose from Mangan would be useless; all he wrote in that medium was intended merely to amuse the reader of the moment. Hence much of it is purely topical, ephemeral in treatment, evanescent in interest; but it is all stamped with his peculiar qualities, such as they are. It is often defaced by mannerisms, and made trivial by an irresistible tendency to punning; but all know who knew Mangan that to look for uniformly lofty thoughts and lofty expression would be counting without their author. Nevertheless, how eminently characteristic much of this prose is! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He is not con scious. However, of having suffered anything to re main, to which a reasonable critic could object. He has pruned a few passages, in order that he might not seem to take undue advantage of an extempore or anonymous allowance and in later years, particularly when seated on the critical bench, he has been pleased, and perhaps profited, in conforming himself to the customs of the court.
