Download or read book A Book of Cambridge Verse Classic Reprint written by Ernest Edward Kellett and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 532 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Art of Dressing Well written by S. Annie Frost and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Dressing Well: A Complete Guide to Economy, Style and Propriety of Costume Everybody, we may assume at the opening of this our volume on the Art of Dressing Well, desires to make a favorable impression upon society. No argument is needed to convince our readers of the advantage of dressing gracefully, richly, splendidly, or plainly, as time or place require, yet, with reference to themselves, always becomingly. In this age of black suits for the sterner sex, our opening chapters upon color must necessarily be more especially addressed to ladies. Every lady possesses that innate love of the beautiful which suggests the desire to appear at all times and in all places in appropriate and becoming costume. She does not need Sir Philip Sidney to tell her that in a happily chosen dress there is that "Which doth even beauty beautify, And most bewitch the captiv'd eye." And few will dispute the fact that the art of dressing well is greatly dependent, not only upon a skillful selection, but also on a tasteful arrangement of colors, or that without this artistic finish, the richest and costliest materials are of comparatively little avail. The pleasure derived from the contemplation of beautiful colors is one of the most universally diffused sources of enjoyment. Some have indeed supposed the feeling for beauty and harmony of color to be an innate faculty. This may be true of the educated and refined, to whom glaring tints and discordant combinations are repulsive, but the uncultivated eye is more often attracted by gaudy than harmonious hues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A whole wardrobe in a book. Imagine a pattern. A pattern for a simple skirt. Let’s call it “The Skirt.” Now, imagine that this pattern is magic—it not only yields one stylish skirt, but in fact can be used to make six stylish skirts. By following different markers on the pattern, “The Skirt” can be: 1) an A-line skirt; 2) a maxi skirt; 3) a flirty pleated hem skirt; 4) a smart-looking pencil-wrap skirt; 5) a flared bias skirt; 6) a ruffled mini. But wait, there’s more! Following each look are six fabric recommendations, some of them easily repurposed. So now, not only does each pattern turn into six patterns, but each of the six patterns can turn into six different garments. With six magic patterns in the book, the end result is 216 original designs! The skill level is basic, and there’s a complete sewing primer included, with recommendations for basic tools, step-by-step instruction, a guide to fabrics, and a sizing reference chart. Express your fashion sense, look great, be creative—and save money. Now that’s magic.
