Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Love If ignorance were bliss it might be folly to be wise; but where ignorance leads to prostitution, divorce, ill health, neurosis, unhappiness, it were better to be wise, even at the price or some shocks to the sensibilities of those reared under and adhering to the old traditions.

Download or read book The Art of Love written by Ovid and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first century a.d., Ovid, author of the groundbreaking epic poem Metamorphoses, came under severe criticism for The Art of Love, which playfully instructed women in the art of seduction and men in the skills essential for mastering the art of romantic conquest. In this remarkable translation, James Michie breathes new life into the notorious Roman’s mock-didactic elegy. In lyrical, irreverent English, he reveals love’s timeless dilemmas and Ovid’s enduring brilliance as both poet and cultural critic.
Download or read book The Art of Courtly Love Classic Reprint written by Andreas Capellanus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Courtly Love This translation was originally undertaken, some fifteen years ago, for the use of students in a course in medieval literature in transla tion. It is now published in the hope that it may prove useful to others who desire some acquaintance with one of the significant books of the Middle Ages, but who are unable to read the medieval Latin in which it is written. My primary aim has been to preserve the ideas of Andreas, and to keep close to what he says, even though it has been necessary, at times, to use somewhat awkward English in doing so. My secondary aim has been to reproduce something of his style. This is in general colloquial, but it is colored with Biblical expres sions, and at times it becomes almost pompous when he tries to re produce the speech of the upper classes. In one respect, however, it seemed best not to follow him. Andreas is very fond of loose, strag gling sentences strung together with and, but, for, so, or some similar connective. Medieval rhetoric was much more tolerant of such sentences than modern readers are, but Andreas seems to go beyond the practice of his contemporaries. In my translation such sentences have been broken up into shorter, more manageable units. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Love in Art Classic Reprint written by Mary Knight Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love in Art examines the romantic impulse in the visual arts, using examples both famous and obscure to take the reader on a passionate journey. Mary Knight Potter opens her book with an introduction in which she states that while love is likely the inspiration for more artistic works than anything else, sculptures and paintings rarely receive recognition for being works about the passion of men and women. The purpose of the book is thus to examine love in the visual arts and present a brief synopsis to the reader. The book is divided into chapters, each of which examines a different subject matter. Chapters focus on Greek art, Biblical love stories and their artistic representations, mythological love scenes as painted, wives and lovers of artists, and several other topics. Each section contains references to specific works of art, often times accompanied by an illustration demonstrating the work to the reader. Mary Knight Potter's passion for art is apparent from the first page. This is a thoroughly researched and well-articulated treatise on the subject matter. Potter presents works of art, both popular and unfamiliar, that demonstrate the emotional connection made between two people. Art historians will certainly find Potter's take on several well-known pieces to be fascinating, as the author approaches these works from a sometimes unconventional angle. Love in Art is a book that will appeal to any reader whose interest is piqued by art history. Potter's exploration of love makes this a pleasant read and one approachable by the layman. If you are at all interested in the subject matter, this book is a worthwhile addition to your personal library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Love From the beginning of time, Love has ever been the inspiration of poetry. According to Dryden, Love first invented verse, and formed the rhyme, The motion measured, harmonized the chime. A modern writer declares Love to be the despair of philosophers and sages, the rapture of poets, the confusion of cynics, and the warrior's defeat. Furthermore, it has, become the pre vailing theme of the novelist. Almost every story, nowadays, is a love story, and the little blind god hovers between the pages. Verily, verily.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Love DO not think there is any subject on which, even after all these centuries Of thought and conflict, more misunderstanding prevails, more inextricable chaos and confusion, than the subject of love. On the one hand we have a school of thought which elects to believe that man has been evolved from the lower animals, and that love and passion have been slowly developed during the lengthy and terrible process. To this class of thinkers love is in its origin an animal instinct. It has been to some extent purified, but passion still remains in its essence animal: an ignoble thing, indeed almost an ugly thing a thing to suppress as far as possible, and to indulge in, when necessary, with a sort of apology to oneself and one's humanity. There has, however, during recent years arisen another and a far different school of thought. Such men as Maeterlinck and Laurence Oliphant have believed that in human love and passion, rightly apprehended, lies the key to all esoteric and heavenly mysteries.

Overhead the birds sang to one another, Come, look at little Margery Talbot, wear ing big boots and a long sword at her side. I did not think of the forest or the mountains beyond it or that dangerous Castle, for my thoughts were at a gabled and quiet house in a garden. There a crippled old man stood watching me in a porch under ivy; but I had not the heart to look back at him.
