Download or read book The World s Great Religious Poetry Classic Reprint written by Caroline Miles Hill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Great Religious Poetry The most obvious facts about this collection of poetry are that it is not all great and that it makes strange combinations and sequences. It ranges from the Psalms of David and the Hymn of Cleanthes to the latest free verse. The great hymns that are translated from the Latin and the most radical of the twentieth century verse are alike only in that they show human feeling about the concept that is the foundation of all religion. Many poems that are far from being great belong here because they are significant. There are some persons who say that our age has no religion; others say it is more sincerely religious than any of the great ages of faith that are gone. 1the most intelligent thought of the present bases the authority of religion, not upon revelation, but upon the nature of man. Man's hunger for God is as funda mental and legitimate as his hunger for food and love. Our age may be lost as to what it should believe, but we were never so sure that we must and do believe. The good swimmer knows best how to trust the water; the best life is most reliant upon what some call the Integrity of the Universe and one of the greatest poets called the Everlasting Arms. The great poets have always spoken with authority. In them has the Word been made flesh. Now a war-weary world in search of faith turns to them. The Bible is an anthology of Hebrew literature-the Great Anthology. If no future poets ever rise to so great a height of constructive imagination as those of the classic Hebrew period it will always remain the Bible of the race. A cursory view of other religious poetry shows little that is not based upon the biblical poetry, but the spiritual assets of mankind have never been gathered together that we may see what they are.

Download or read book Browning written by Henry Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Browning: As a Philosophical and Religions Teacher In order to do even this successfully, it is essential that every judgment passed should be exclusively ruled by the principles which govern art. Fine art is not real art till it is free that is, till its value is recognized as lying wholly within itself. And it is not, unfortunately, altogether unnecessary to insist that, so far from enhancing the value of an artist's work, we only degrade it into mere means, subordinate it to uses alien, and therefore antagonistic to its perfection, if we try to show that it gives pleasure, or refinement, or moral culture. There is no doubt that great poetry has all these uses, but the reader can enjoy them only on condition of for getting them; for they are effects that follow the sense of its beauty. Art, morality, religion, is each supreme in its Own Sphere; the beautiful is not more beautiful because it is also moral, nor is a painting great because its subject is religious. It is true that their spheres overlap, and art is never at its best except when it is a beautiful representa tion of the good; nevertheless the points of View of the artist and of the ethical teacher are quite different, and consequently also the elements within which they work and the truth they reveal.

Download or read book Modern Poets and Christian Teaching written by Henry Nelson Snyder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Poets and Christian Teaching: Sidney Lanier This chapter is to be no biography. It is meant to touch in outline the character of a singularly beautiful human soul. For in Sidney Lanier we have a knight-errant in the cause of beauty and truth and holiness. No mail-clad warrior out of the shining fields of old romance ever quested for fairer adventures than did this knight of our new days. And the revelation of his high and unbending nobility is to be sought not merely in his message in prose and verse; its steady and winsome radiance is equally revealed in the very character of the man as he opened himself in frank unreservedness to all with whom he came in contact on the common way of life. So his finest poetry and its deepest spiritual mes sage may not be read so much in rhythmic verse as in his brave and inspiringly victorious struggle against the untoward conditions of time and circumstance, in the stubborn, cheerful manliness of his combat with disease, and in an unwavering fidelity to high artistic and spiritual ideals. In terms of character and experience he has written perhaps his noblest poem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning as a Religious Teacher: Being the Burney Essay for 1900 No one would be foolish enough to deny that there is a considerable element of truth in this View. It is, of course, impossible to give an adequate prose version of any true poetry, for the music and the words are indissolubly blended in the unity of the song. But to deny the possibility of translating poetry into prose is a very different thing from declaring that a poet's thought is necessarily un analysable. The secret of life is indeed concealed from the microscope of the scientist, but the structure of the organism can easily be exhibited. In precisely.
