Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Joy John's thoughts went back to the day three years before when from this very window he had watched, as he was watching now, the scene beneath. Then he had been filled with the keenest interest, even excitement; had been impatient for the morrow and the real commencement of his college life. His mind had been charged with thoughts of the great things he was going to do. Well, that had been three years ago, he reflected; to-day his thoughts were somewhat soberer. In the three years he had seen many illusions fade and had stored by a certain amount of practical common sense. As for the great things, some few of them had come to pass; unfortunately, seen in retrospect they were shrunken out of all similitude to the glorious subjects of his early dreams. It must not be thought, however, that disillusion ment had soured him. At twenty-four, given a sane mind and a healthy body, one can bear with equanimity more disenchantment than had fallen to the lot of John North. And John, being the possessor of twenty - four years, sanity and health. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traveller's Joy Or should your passing be at the noontide, then stay and rest awhile in the cool parlour, and mine host will bring you fruit from the garden. You may dine like a monk at a festival, if simplicity be your aim; and for a drink - well, William Hodges makes his own cider, and he is proud to tell you there is none better. But if you wish to keep summer in manner inimitable, go to that wild south country where the region of oak and pine, birch and bracken, sand stone and scattered commons, breaks into sunny meadows and rich pastures just under the South Downs, and seek there that sign which looks both ways of the road. Then stay at that inn of good omen all the summer long, and I shall wonder if you do not desire to stay all the winter too.

Download or read book The Book of Joy written by Dalai Lama and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel of Joy There are those who know they are doing wrong, who will not let loose their sin, yet whose intellect, imagination and easy fervour run to meet a higher view of life and of religion. The downright truth about them is that unless they banish the dark thing, root it out and cast it from them, they may see the light but will not keep it; may touch it and yet turn it into corruption. We must give up what we know to be sin. Then, when the kingdom of God opens before us, we can not only enter into it, but abide it] it. When that is done, the next step is possible, the putting on of the armour of light. The inspiration has come to us new thought, and aims, and emotions; new views of God, new views of man.

The boy was an artist; the girl lived in the country, but vaguely hungered for all that art meant and felt affinity with it. The instinct of the creator belonged to her - not as a conquering fire, but as a pleasant and abiding addition. She told herself sometimes that she, too, might have made things had her lot fallen among the makers. She was well born and accustomed to a society of conventional sort; but her soul was unconventional, and she hailed this meeting gladly, as a scrap of salt to uneventful days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature. . . . A book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains.” — The Paris Review A special 50th anniversary edition of the magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday, with a new preface by the author A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world—modern, industrial America—pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust. An American classic, House Made of Dawn is at once a tragic tale about the disabling effects of war and cultural separation, and a hopeful story of a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Little Care The Land of Little Care Come, little comrade, let us fare across the hills beyond the city, And loiter in the open where no voice may call to us for pity; We'll wade in brooks and wander by the slanting fields and forest edges, And listen to the winds that sigh and sing through aromatic sedges. We'll linger in the hawtree's shade, and carve the letters of our names On mossy fences that were made by hands which toil no longer claims; The golden willow's branch shall be a whistle you may blithely blow And every pool shall be a sea where stately vessels come and go. I'll lead you where the valleys lie deep in the morning's gleaming dew; The Crabtree's fragrant blossoms I will pluck from thorny boughs for you, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He might have added an amendment to the effect that there's always a plentiful supply of material for that much travelled highway. We all contribute, more or less. I know I have done so. And so did my people before me. My father's intentions were good, but he didn't live long enough to carry them out. If he hadn't fallen a victim to an inborn streak of recklessness, a habit of taking chances, - well, I can't say just how things would have panned out. I'm not fatalist enough to believe that we crawl or run or soar through our allotted span of years according to some prearranged scheme which we are powerless to modify. Oh no!
