Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glory of Belgium The wonderful Gothic churches and civic buildings that were to be seen before the present war. Although I have everywhere spoken of these monuments Of Old Flanders as still extant, unhappily in some cases the past tense will have to be substituted for the present. What remains unimpaired by the hand of time to-day may suffer destruction from the ruthless hands Of the invading foe to-morrow. War always leaves its mark on a country, for, while time heals many Of its wounds, the scars that it inflicts on Old churches and Other ancient buildings never can be healed. Egypt, Greece, Italy, Gaul - what storied country is there that has not felt the devastating breath Of war P Reformers, Roundheads, Industrial Revolutionaries have between them wrought havoc on the antique towers and veteran battlements of Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glory of Belgium: A Tribute and a Chronicle Though Belgium cannot claim to have influenced our English literature to nearly the same extent as have many other European countries, yet the two nations have mostly lived in a close fellow ship and some of our poets have sung of that noble plot of land which became the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830. That part of the Old province of Flanders now forming a portion of Belgium claims a fair share of these poetical tributes, and seems often to have been visited by English armies, for the most part friendly, since Van Artevelde sought the aid of Edward III. Against French influence. Belgium has now earned the undying gratitude and admiration of our country and her Allies, and it is therefore hoped this small selection of poems may not be without a unique interest to all lovers of poetry, for there has of late been a large addition from which to choose made to our English verse bearing one way or another on Belgium - a revival, on an even greater scale, of the outpourings of poets when inspired by the great events culminating in Waterloo.

Download or read book The Past and the Future of Belgium Classic Reprint written by Albert J. Carnoy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past and the Future of Belgium Belgium has been placed in special prominence by her situation at the center of the greatest fight in history and by her noble attitude during a long period of indescribable sufferings. Many a name of her cities and villages has been associated for ever with deeds of glory or shame. Many a name of her sons has been added to the list of heroes who have suffered for ideals dear to mankind. The German intrigues as well as the discussions at the Peace Conference have acquainted the whole world with special aspects of Belgian nationality and Belgian politics. But all this has been very fragmentary information, and numerous are the persons in America who have the most friendly interest for Belgium but know very little of that country, her aspects, her inhabitants, the essential facts of her history, the main features of her national character. Particulars as to the amount of destruction wrought by the Germans and about the part played by Belgium in the war are also very desirable; but above all, in connection with the restoration of the country and with its future, it will be helpful to provide reliable and clear information to all those who may come in contact with a nation that has now indelible bonds of friendship with the United States. Both countries will remain associated during the period of re construction and it is desirable that they know one another. This is the idea which has inspired the present booklet which in a condensed form treats of Belgium, her glorious past, her ideals, her part in the war, her problems in the near future, her possibilities, her place in the new world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium The events of August 1914 and their sequel have shown Belgium to many in a new light. They have seen a nation where they had supposed that there was only a geographical expression. They have seen martial courage where they had forgotten that it had been famous for centuries. They have been surprised to find in this little land so much chivalrous honour and so much civic patriotism. They need to be reminded that its nobility headed the Crusades and that its common people established the first free city life north of the Alps.
