Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coquet-Dale Fishing Songs: Now First Collected and Edited The chosen pastime of minds the most noble and talents the most diversified. The poet and the states man, the politician and the sage, the divine and the philosopher, have found in them endless recreation and perennial excitement. Why has this been? N ot surely because the sports of the field involve the taking away of animal life - the characters of the men who have been most heartily addicted to rural sports controvert the insinuation; but because there is in volved in such pursuits a constant game of chances, more delicately complicated than any that the wit of man ever invented, and also because those chances involve, in their perpetual flux and change, the rapid, vivid, and masterly contemplation and survey of the most varied and beautiful scenery that N ature has prepared, in her most lavish mood, to gladden, astonish, and elevate the heart of man. It is in the knowledge of his ground that the delicate craft of the sportsman lies. Upon this knowledge, only to be acquired by the keenest and most successful observation, the skill and the reward of the huntsman, the shooter, and the angler rest. Each must be aware of the minutest habits of the animal of which he is in quest, or that quest is vain. Every undulation of landscape, every form of thicket, every description of vegetation and of soil, every turn of water, every change in the river's bed, nay, the strength and direction of every wind that blows, and the hue of every revolution in the atmo sphere - be it for heat or for cold, for sunshine or for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Waters: A Collection of the Sailors' Chanties, or Working Songs of the Sea, of All Maritime Nations; Boatmen's, Fishermen's, and Rowing Songs, and Water Legends Fresh as the breezes of that ocean to which they owe their inspiration, the chanties and songs here collected come to us as a most interesting and unique contribution to our literature of the sea. For this volume contains no mere study-compilation of more or less authentic sea ditties, mingled with the nautical effusions of landsmen. It is original in its conception and execution. With one or two trifling exceptions, it IS a collection of what may be styled the genuine article -not the creation of landsmen written for or about sailors, but the actual working songs of the sea that are in use at the present time.

Download or read book Songs for Fishermen written by Joseph Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs for Fishermen The love for fishing is universal. The small boy at school who pretends to be studying and who really is proving the marvel that the letters in preface can represent the words "Peter Rogers Eats Fish, Alligators Catch Eels," soon forgets his book altogether. He becomes thrall to his imagination; his fancy transports him to a brookside where he tempts minnows and achieves happiness with a bent pin and a can of worms. His teacher, austere in appearance, may at heart be subject to the same allurement; a popular exponent of the cause of fishing to-day is the college professor, the literary man, the diplomat, Henry Van Dyke. The great actor, in his turn, loves to quit the world of make-believe for the realities of solitude and the angle; witness Joseph Jefferson. The statesman finds similar relief from the cares of state; witness Grover Cleveland and Viscount Grey. Butcher, baker, and candlestick maker, clerk, clergyman, and capitalist - if you would find what, beneath the hard semblances of them, they verily are, utter the cabalistic words: "Let's go fishing." As with fishing, so with fishermen; the love for them too is universal. "All the world loves a lover," we are told; and yet we may ask, "Had not the lover best look to his laurels?" Whatever else you may say of him, he is not a comfortable person to have around. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is a fresh surprise for each one who ventures upon its illimitable way. In the bits of lyric contained in this slender volume I have sought to catch fleeting glimpses of ocean life and of sailor men in many parts of the Pacific, from the Russian voyager in Bering Sea to the Tahitian fisherman braving the perils of the deep in his open canoe, and his still more daring kinsmen who, some six hundred years ago, voy aged over thousands of miles of unknown water and discovered New Zealand.

Download or read book The Master Fisherman Classic Reprint written by Ernest Earle Osgood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master Fisherman The bond between religion and poetry is immemorial. Hardly had language been invented, anthropology tells us, before it was put to rhythmic uses; and these earliest rhythms were not only employed in, but directly born of, the celebrations and festivals of worship. When we first catch sight of man, dimly emerging from the prehistoric mist, the adorational song is firmly established among his scanty possessions. To our modern sense, indeed, those primitive dithyrambs might suggest little of either religion or poetry; yet they were both, and they stand to prove, as I should suppose, an intuitive recognition of a relation between the two forms of ideal beauty - a relation so close in some directions as to become, in truth, a partial identity. However, lest that stretches a doubtful "little learning" too far, we may at least view this ancient bond as the inescapable tie between matter and manner, the instinctive fulfillment of meaning in form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Whaleman: And Other Sea-Songs The thought was seized upon by the people of New Bedford, who wondered that nobody had thought of the matter before. The above is an extract from one of many articles written on the subject of The Whaleman, and his Statue, which was proposed in a little song written and published ten years ago, come May. There may be divers reasons, and none of them wonderful, why the suggestion was not ooffered before. Perhaps people addicted to wondering are not given to thinking. The Scriptures show us in sundry places that people used to marvel an awful lot in the old times before the Public School became an Institution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Sea Labour: Chanties Dear Bullen, You have done real good national work in helping to preserve these fine old Chanties. Like yourself I have heard them many a time when I have been bending to the rhythm as we hauled up the heavy whaling boats to their davits. It is wonderful how their musical rise and fall, with the pull coming on the main note, lightened the labour. I fear in these days of steam winches that the old stamp-and-go of ten men on a rope is gone for ever. And yet your book will help to preserve it, and to those who know and can feel, there is a smack of salt spray in every line of these rude virile verses. To them once again will come back the creak of the blocks as the falls whine through them, and the dead heavy lurch as the boat jerks upwards. As I glance through your pages and see "On the plains of Mexico," "Blow the man down," or "Rio Grande," I can hardly think of any words or tunes that appeal more intimately to all the spirit of adventure that life has left in me. I only wish you were here to sing them yourself in your inimitable way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The men who won his regard in his youth retained it while they lived; and when they died, they took away with them the sources of much of his constant happiness, leaving behind them memories on which he touched from time to time with tender reverence He had the great endow ment of a heart to warm and freshen every stage of his life; and if at times it invited and accen tuated its griefs and losses, still it did not fail him even in these, but helped him to store up their wreckage, and to mantle it with associations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Angler's Song Book There have been several distinct collections ot Angling Songs published within the last few years; but all that have fallen in my way, have been local in language, turn of thought, and descriptive allusions. There are North of England. Songs, Scottish Songs, and Songs in the dialects of the West of England. There is not, as far as I am aware, any general collection of Fishing Songs, embodying the poetical warblings of piscatorians of all parts of the kingdom. It is chiefly to supply this deficiency that the present small volume is published. A great number of the pieces have never been printed before, having been collected from private sources; and several have only appeared in local newspapers, magazines, &c.
