I sing of human Hope the heaven of every man, Of Doubt and Strife and Sin when human life began, How beauteous was the dawn of those unclouded days When man a King on earth knew but the speech of praise Alas, the morn is past, the noontide heat has come; The God-like man rebelled: the "gods" are doomed to roam! His lot unceasing toil, his home the desert wild; Behold him wander forth, his partner and his child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Celestial Love! The only flower remaining Of Eden's bowers, and still its bloom retaining. Say! ye, who walk 'neath those unsullied beams, Hand linked in hand, on to life's evening close; Can purer joy, to mortals, e'er be given, Until they taste the perfect bliss of heaven; Drink from that fount whence Love eternal flows?

Download or read book Monsieur written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the olive trees of southern France to Gnostic cults in Egypt, a man and his lovers are invented and reinvented in this first volume of a great literary adventure. For British doctor Bruce Drexel, a return to Provence is bittersweet. Here, at a rustic chateau, he once fell in love with Sylvie, the Frenchwoman who would become his wife, and befriended her brother, Piers. The three made up a peculiar, potent ménage for years until Sylvie’s descent into madness and Piers’s suicide. As Drexel attends to Piers’s affairs, he becomes steeped in the memories of a spiritually transformational trip to Egypt; the band of intellectual confederates who used to be his intimate friends; and a three-sided love that became his reason for being. So begins Monsieur, the masterful first entry of Durrell’s Avignon Quintet, an infinite regress of memory and imagination that challenges the formal conventions of fiction.

Download or read book Homer written by Andrew Ford and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Ford here addresses, in a manner both engaging and richly informed, the perennial questions of what poetry is, how it came to be, and what it is for. Focusing on the critical moment in Western literature when the heroic tales of the Greek oral tradition began to be preserved in writing, he examines these questions in the light of Homeric poetry. Through fresh readings of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and referring to other early epics as well, Ford deepens our understanding of what poetry was at a time before written texts, before a developed sense of authorship, and before the existence of institutionalized criticism. Placing what is known about Homer's art in the wider context of Homer's world, Ford traces the effects of the oral tradition upon the development of the epic and addresses such issues as the sources of the poet's inspiration and the generic constraints upon epic composition. After exploring Homer's poetic vocabulary and his fictional and mythical representations of the art of singing, Ford reconstructs an idea of poetry much different from that put forth by previous interpreters. Arguing that Homer grounds his project in religious rather than literary or historical terms, he concludes that archaic poetry claims to give a uniquely transparent and immediate rendering of the past. Homer: The Poetry of the Past will be stimulating and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in the traditions of poetry, as well as for students and scholars in the fields of classics, literary theory and literary history, and intellectual history.

Download or read book Leaves from the Garden of Eden written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Leaves from the Garden of Eden, Howard Schwartz, a three-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award, has gathered together one hundred of the most astonishing and luminous stories from Jewish folk tradition. Just as Schwartz's award-winning book Tree of Souls collected the essential myths of Jewish tradition, Leaves from the Garden of Eden collects one hundred essential Jewish tales. As imaginative as the Arabian Nights, these stories invoke enchanted worlds, demonic realms, and mystical experiences. The four most popular types of Jewish tales are gathered here--fairy tales, folktales, supernatural tales, and mystical tales--taking readers on heavenly journeys, lifelong quests, and descents to the underworld. There is a dybbuk lurking in a well, a book that comes to life, and a world where Lilith, the Queen of Demons, seduces the unsuspecting. Here too are Jewish versions of many of the best-known tales, including "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Rapunzel." Schwartz's retelling of one of these stories, "The Finger," inspired Tim Burton's film Corpse Bride.

The steer-oar bends, and her head swings round TO the golden light on Somes'; The long blades churn with a roaring sound Till the sharp cutwater foams, And each heart quivers as each blade bites, For 'tis good to be speeding between the lights The glow of the sunset, the flush Of the moon, The harbor lights that will twinkle soon, And the light-o'-love in the soft, bright eyes Of the girls who are with us between the lights When the white, white water flies.
