Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes From Nature's Lyre Ankind owes an inestimable debt to God for His terrestrial gifts which sur round us, as well as for His heavenly ones which are to come. In the preparation for the enjoying of the future ones the logical way is to notice and appreciate those which now exist. It is not well for even the most ambitious to overlook in scorn the caterpillar of earthly graces while putting forth his ut most efforts in attempting to grasp the flee ing butterfly Of the future. The one is the gradual development of the other, and that which has grown slowly is generally more perfectly formed than that which has devel oped quickly. But aside from its obligatory character - and man is rarely inclined to meet an obligation - there is a something innate in every one that prompts a study of nature, an irresistible drawing toward the beauty and wonderfulness of creation. And if a man so neglect this incentive as to give the natural beauties of his home but a Cursory glance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Notes Classic Reprint written by Rudyard Kipling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Notes It is hardly fair to Mr. Kipling to call Ameri can Notes first impressions, for one reading them will readily see that the impressions are superficial, little thought being put upon the writing. They seem supersarcastic, and would lead one to believe that Mr. Kipling is antagonistic to America in every respect. This, however, is not true. These Notes aroused much protest and severe eriti cism when they appeared in 1891, and are consid ered so far beneath Mr. Kipling's real work that they have been nearly suppressed and are rarely found in a list of his writings. Their very caus tic style is of interest to a student and lover of Kipling, and for this reason the publishers believe them worthy of a good binding.

Download or read book The Lesbian Lyre written by Jeffrey M. Duban and published by CLAIRVIEW BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by Plato as the “Tenth Muse” of ancient Greek poetry, Sappho is inarguably antiquity’s greatest lyric poet. Born over 2,600 years ago on the Greek island of Lesbos, and writing amorously of women and men alike, she is the namesake lesbian. What’s left of her writing, and what we know of her, is fragmentary. Shrouded in mystery, she is nonetheless repeatedly translated and discussed – no, appropriated – by all. Sappho has most recently undergone a variety of treatments by agenda-driven scholars and so-called poet-translators with little or no knowledge of Greek. Classicist-translator Jeffrey Duban debunks the postmodernist scholarship by which Sappho is interpreted today and offers translations reflecting the charm and elegant simplicity of the originals. Duban provides a reader-friendly overview of Sappho’s times and themes, exploring her eroticism and Greek homosexuality overall. He introduces us to Sappho’s highly cultured island home, to its lyre-accompanied musical legends, and to the fabled beauty of Lesbian women. Not least, he emphasizes the proximity of Lesbos to Troy, making the translation and enjoyment of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey a further focus. More than anything else, argues Duban, it is free verse and its rampant legacy – and no two persons more than Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound – that bear responsibility for the ruin of today’s classics in translation, to say nothing of poetry in the twentieth century. Beyond matters of reflection for classicists, Duban provides a far-ranging beginner’s guide to classical literature, with forays into Spenser and Milton, and into the colonial impulse of Virgil, Spenser, and the West at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bugle Notes of Courage and Love The spontaneous appearance of two little books of verse, by Althea A. Ogden and Evelyn H. Walker, prompts this confession and claim from the minister of All Souls Church, Chicago. Many if not most of these lines were written at his invitation or perchance compulsion; a benignant one, let us hope. Hence this prompt assumption on his part of the responsibility for the writing and publicity. This confession justifies a claim to a part of whatever credit these modest songs of faith, courage, and hope may receive. They come from hearts in league with a searching eye and an open mind, and will appeal to other hearts thus re-inforced. Others have given generously of things their hands have accumulated, but these women have given of the rarer, higher, and more essential accumulations of soul; for the Lincoln Centre, like Thebes, was reared by the power of the Poet's Lyre.

Download or read book Campbell written by C. Beaumont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campbell: An American Tale But the author has other motives in presenting this work to the American people. It is the first attempt within his knowledge to connect the occurrences of that proud portion of the history of his country which so emphatically and fully developed its national character with the charms of heroic verse. And if this attempt but succeed in exciting a desire to have that history studied with the pleasures of its romance, he feels as sured. That it will develop one strong and lasting tie of patriotism. To have the' early history of our country connected with our earliest impressions of pleasure and excitement of passion will do much in establishing a desire to continue unchanged those scenes, and uh altered those institutions, which have been so greatly the foundation of our keenest enjoyments. What among the ancient Greeks could have produced a stronger love of their institutions and country than the immor talizing these in the works of their best writers? And who, upon visiting the spot where any well-described event has had its scene, has not felt the whole past come over the soul, mingling and identifying itself in interest with the present. Men may have what opinions they please as to the moral good or evil of works of this kind; but love of country, as all other kinds of love, consists in the affection of the heart and the more that is brought into exercise by the excitement of its feelings.

Download or read book Sappho s Lyre written by Diane J. Rayor and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1991-08-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sappho sang her poetry to the accompaniment of the lyre on the Greek island of Lesbos over 2500 years ago. Throughout the Greek world, her contemporaries composed lyric poetry full of passion, and in the centuries that followed the golden age of archaic lyric, new forms of poetry emerged. In this unique anthology, today's reader can enjoy the works of seventeen poets, including a selection of archaic lyric and the complete surviving works of the ancient Greek women poets—the latter appearing together in one volume for the first time. Sappho's Lyre is a combination of diligent research and poetic artistry. The translations are based on the most recent discoveries of papyri (including "new" Archilochos and Stesichoros) and the latest editions and scholarship. The introduction and notes provide historical and literary contexts that make this ancient poetry more accessible to modern readers. Although this book is primarily aimed at the reader who does not know Greek, it would be a splendid supplement to a Greek language course. It will also have wide appeal for readers of' ancient literature, women's studies, mythology, and lovers of poetry.

Download or read book The Woman and the Lyre written by Jane M Snyder and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faint though the voices of the women of Greek and Roman antiquity may be in some cases, their sound, if we listen carefully enough, can fill many of the gaps and silences of women s past.From the beginning with Sappho in the seventh century B.C. and ending with Hypatia and Egeria in the fifth century A.D., Jane McIntosh Snyder listens carefully to the major women writers of classical Greece and Rome, piecing together the surviving fragments of their works into a coherent analysis that places them in their literary, historical, and intellectual contexts.While relying heavily on modern classical scholarship, Snyder refutes some of the arguments that implicitly deny the power of women's written words the idea that women's experience is narrow or trivial and therefore automatically inferior as subject matter for literature, the notion that intensity in a woman is a sign of neurotic imbalance, and the assumption that women s work should be judged according to some externally imposed standard.The author studies the available fragments of Sappho, ranging from poems on mythological themes to traditional wedding songs and love poems, and demonstrates her considerable influence on Western thought and literature. An overview of all of the authors Snyder discusses shows that ancient women writers focused on such things as emotions, lovers, friendship, folk motifs, various aspects of daily living, children, and pets, in distinct contrast to their male contemporaries concern with wars and politics. Straightforwardness and simplicity are common characteristics of the writers Snyder examines. These women did not display allusion, indirection, punning and elaborate rhetorical figures to the extent that many male writers of the ancient world did. Working with the sparse records available, Snyder strives to place these female writers in their proper place in our heritage.
