Download or read book THE COLLECTED POEMS OF RUPERT BROOKE written by Rupert C Brooke and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rupert Brooke was both fair to see and winning in his ways. There was at the first contact both bloom and charm; and most of all there was life. To use the word his friends describe him by, he was "vivid". This vitality, though manifold in expression, is felt primarily in his sensations — surprise mingled with delight — "One after one, like tasting a sweet food." This is life's "first fine rapture". It makes him patient to name over those myriad things each of which seems like a fresh discovery curious but potent, and above all common, that he "loved", — he the "Great Lover". Lover of what, then? Why, of "White plates and cups clean-gleaming, Ringed with blue lines," — and the like, through thirty lines of exquisite words; and he is captivated by the multiple brevity of these vignettes of sense, keen, momentary, ecstatic with the morning dip of youth in the wonderful stream. The poem is a catalogue of vital sensations and "dear names" as well. "All these have been my loves."

Download or read book Forever England written by Mike Read and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rupert Brooke, strikingly good-looking, effortlessly charming and prodigiously gifted, has become the tragic embodiment of the generation lost between 1914 and 1918. Upon the poet's tragic untimely death, Winston Churchill declared that 'we shall never see his like again', yet Brooke immortalised himself in his own poignant verse: 'If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England'. Brooke died serving king and country on the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth, St George's Day 1915, en route to fight at Gallipoli. As the tributes poured in and the war gathered momentum, the press heralded him as a hero - a focal point for the nation's grief. Already an acclaimed poet and dramatist in his youth, his romantic war poetry contrasts starkly with the work of some of his more disillusioned contemporaries. But the private letters of 'the handsomest man in all of England' reveal a far more troubled, and often misunderstood, individual... In this updated edition of Forever England, Mike Read, founder of the Rupert Brooke Society, explores the poet's fascinating life and legacy. From a tangled web of secret affairs, literary circles, mental illness and a previously unknown lovechild emerges the intriguing personality and enduring poetry of Rupert Brooke - the voice of a country torn apart by war.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke The poet loves his new-found element. He clings to mortality; to life, not thought; or, as he puts it, to the concrete, - let the abstract go pack! There's little comfort in the Wise, he ends. But in the unfolding of his precocious spirit, the literary control comes upper most; his boat, finding its keel, swings to the helm of mind. How should it be otherwise for a youth well-born, well-bred, in college air? Intellectual primacy showed itself to him in many wandering loves, fine lover that he Ewas; but in the end he was an intellectual lover, and the magnet seems to have been especially powerful in the ghosts of the men of wit, Donne, Marvell erudite lords of language, poets in another world than ours, a less ample ether, a less divine air, our fathers thought, but poets of eternity A quintessential drop of intel lect is apt to be in poetic blood. How Platonism fasci nates the poets, like a shining bait! Rupert Brooke will have none of it; but at a turn of the verse he is back at it.
