Download or read book Parodies Vol 6 written by Walter Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parodies, Vol. 6: Of the Works of English and American Authors Algernon Charles Swinburne, Mr. Swinburne, son of Admiral Charles Henry Swinburne, and grandson of Sir John Edward Swinburne, sixth baronet, was born and educated first at Eton, and afterwards at Oxford. Despite his ancient pedigree, his aristocratic connections, and his university education, the early writings of Mr. A. C. Swinburne, both in prose and verse, were coloured by Radical opinions of the most advanced description. Byron, Shelley, Wordsworth and Southey commenced thus, with results which should have taught him how unwise it is for a poet, who wishes to be widely read, to descend into the heated atmosphere of political strife. The Undergraduate Papers, published by Mr. Mansell, Oxford, 1857 8, contained some of Mr. Swinburne's earliest poems, these were followed by "Atalanta in Calydon," "Chaste-lard," and "Poems and Ballads." It will be readily understood that only a few brief extracts can be given from Mr. Swinburnes poems, sufficient merely to strike the key notes of the Parodies. The Creation Of Man. Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven! Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance fallen from heaven, And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite: Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And life the shadow of death. And the high gods took in hand Fire, and the falling of tears, And a measure of sliding sand From under the feet of the years: And froth and drift of the sea; And dust of the labouring earth; And bodies of things to be In the houses of death and of birth; And wrought with weeping and laughter, And fashioned with loathing and love. With life before and after, And death beneath and above, For a day and a night and a morrow. That his strength might endure for a span With travail and heavy sorrow, The holy spirit of man. For the winds of the north and the south They gathered as into strife; They breathed upon his mouth. They filled his body with life; Eyesight and speech they wrought For the veils of the soul therein, A time for labour and thought, A time to serve and to sin; They gave him light in his ways, And love, and a space for delight. And beauty and length of days. And night, and sleep in the night. His speech is a burning fire; With his lips he travaileth; In his heart is a blind desire. In his eyes foreknowledge of death; He weaves, and is clothed with derision; Sows, and he shall not reap; His life is a watch or a vision Between a sleep and a sleep. A. C. Swinburne. American Parody. Before the beginning of years. There went to the making of man Nine tailors with their shears, A coupe and a tiger and span. Umbrellas and neckties and canes. An ulster, a coat, and all that - But the crowning glory remains. His last best gift was his hat. And the mad hatters took in hand Skins of the beaver, and felt, And straw from the isthmus land, And silk and black bears pelt: And wrought with prophetic passion, Designed on the newest plan. They made in the height of fashion The hat for the wearing of man. A Poet's Valentine Before the beginning of poet There came to the making of love Rhymes and of follies a host; Ducks with a dart and a dore; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Great Epochs in American History Vol 6 of 10 written by Francis W. Halsey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Epochs in American History, Vol. 6 of 10: Described by Famous Writers From Columbus to Roosevelt Jackson was first elected President in 1828, but the period in our history so closely associated with his name virtually began four years earlier, when Adams, with fewer electoral votes, secured the office. This large vote for Jackson in 1824 and his splendid triumph in 1828 testified in the strongest way to the great change that had come over the country since the War of 1812. The building of roads and canals, and the use of steam for navigation on great rivers and lakes, had opened up the western country until it acquired great national importance. It was this western country that gave to Jackson his preponderance over Adams in 1824, and made easy his election in 1828. Moreover, it was this section which in 1832 greatly helped to secure for Jackson his 154 electoral votes and a popular majority of 157,000. A new era had, in fact, dawned upon the whole country.

Book excerpt: First published in 1963, James Baldwin's A Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called ldquo;Negro problemrdquo;. As remarkable for its masterful prose as it is for its uncompromising account of black experience in the United States, it is considered to this day one of the most articulate and influential expressions of 1960s race relations. The book consists of two essays, ldquo;My Dungeon Shook mdash; Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of Emancipation,rdquo; and ldquo;Down At The Cross mdash; Letter from a Region of My Mind.rdquo; It weaves thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the so-say ldquo;land of the freerdquo;, insisting on the inequality implicit to American society. ldquo;You were born where you were born and faced the future that you facedrdquo;, Baldwin writes to his nephew, ldquo;because you were black and for no other reason.rdquo; His profound sense of injustice is matched by a robust belief in ldquo;monumental dignityrdquo;, in patience, empathy, and the possibility of transforming America into ldquo;what America must become.rdquo;

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cyr Readers, Vol. 6: Arranged by Grades Literature in its noblest form should do for the child what it does for the man, - open the eyes to clearer vision, and nourish and inspire the soul. The reading book, therefore, has more direct influence upon the character of the pupil than any other text-book, and, with this in mind, it has been the fundamental purpose of this series to make its readers familiar with the best writers and their works. It has been deemed best to continue the plan of the previous books of the series and introduce several central figures. We have been reading and becoming acquainted with the American poets; now we enter a new field of literature, and the great prose writers, Irving and Scott, with the English poet Wordsworth, shed the influence of their characters and writings in the schoolroom. The pupil looks into their faces and visits their homes. Their early childhood, their battles with adversity, and the influences that determined the current of their lives become familiar. Then, with awakened interest and admiration, he reads the messages they have left behind them. Characteristic selections from these authors have been carefully chosen with reference to the capacity of the children.
