Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Fashioned Stories and Poems How all children chastised should be; And therefore, children, look that ye do well, And no hard beating shall ye befall. Such volumes as these may have been exceedingly instructive, but I doubt whether any child was ever so fond Of them as to carry them Off to some distant garret, so he could read and read and read Without fear Of being interrupted. Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, The Pilgrim's Progress. And Goody two-shoes had been Written; but save for these and a very few others, a child might have followed along the shelves Of many a library and found hardly a volume that would make him feel as if he could not help reading it.

Download or read book Stories in Song and Other Poems Classic Reprint written by William Grant Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories in Song and Other Poems As to the origin of poetry the angler and the poet agree; and without doubt they have spoken the truth. Poetry is a thing of God, and the poetic genius is a gift; it stirs the best in our hearts, because the best has brought it forth it stimulates to lofty deeds because it springs from lofty conceptions. Poetry better than prose reveals the writer. Imagine if you will the muse stirring the embers of thought and feeling, directing the pen, but conception and expression are ever moulded and colored by the writer's characteristics. In poetry as in painting methods of expression differ widely. Schools of poetry like schools of philosophy have gathered about those whose productions have made them eminent. Pope, Dryden's pupil, had many copyists. The Wordsworth school is still in exist ence, Longfellow's style and method have many imitators, and we might mention many more of whom this is true. Shakespeare and Milton have had their imitators, but perhaps they have hardly been at the head of a school, for the reason that they have stood alone, inimitable, the one in dramatic and the other in epic poetry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grandmother's Story: And Other Poems Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 29, 1809. The house in which ha was born stood between the sites now occupied by the Hemenway Gymnasium and the Law School of Harvard University, and was of historic interest as having been the headquarters of General Artemas Ward, and of the Committee of Safety in the days just before the Revolution. Upon the steps of the house stood President Langdon, of Harvard College, tradition says, and prayed for the men who, halting there a few moments, marched forward under Colonel Prescott's lead to throw up intrenchments on Bunker Hill on the night of June 16, 1775. Dr. Holmes's father carried forward the traditions of the old house, for he was Rev. Dr. Abiel Holmes, whose American Annals was the first careful record of American history written after the Revolution. Born and bred in the midst of historic associations, Holmes had from the first a lively interest in American history and politics, and though possessed of strong humorous gifts often turned his song into patriotic channels, while the current of his literary life was distinctly American. He began to write poetry when in college at Cambridge, and some of his best-known early pieces, like Evening, by a Tailor, The Meeting of the Dryads, The Spectre Pig, were contributed to the Collegian, an undergraduate journal, while he was studying law the year after his graduation.

A blush came on her cheek as thus she thought, And a tear trembled on her eyelid's fringe, For there was one' who the fierce Saracen fought, One who beneath the Scimitar would not cringe, Whose settled courage nothing could unhinge; He in the foremost rank was always found, And Emmeline's soft bosom felt a twinge, TO think how he might lie on Paynim ground.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From a Boy's Fancy: A Volume of Stories and Poems I visited this individual, and my first impres sion on seeing him was that, whatever troubles he might have, his tailor and barber bills at least were not burdensome. I was struck by the lack of demarkation between the respective abodes of the solitary human inhabitant, and his feathered and quadrupedal domestics. They seemed all to live together in a great state of social conglomeration, - dogs, cats, and all other animals of a conven icht size, seeming to consider the inside of the house as much their side as the outside. Nor did these infringing inferiors seem to recognize the mental walls stretching from the chalk-marks to the ceiling. Doubtless, either the marks were too faint, or their imaginations were not vivid enough. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
