Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophet and Other Poems The Prophet. The prophecy must be beyond the ears - If otherwise, wherein attain we growth? There are forerunners: the aftercomers know A-verity their message: jostling proclaim With brazen tongues the truth arrived from far. But how the Prophet and his shaking heads, Wherewith shall solace his negation wide? The harmony which comes by death to him Is useless as a balsam: - if on high Ring out his sudden words because enforced By the tumultuous beating of his powers, When back their echoes drift to him again, He, broken in the throng, silently yields Their reputation to the weird, rude winds - The airs men breathe not - fitted for night and waste. T is the dark curse of vision cast afar To fail thro' noisome vapors rising near. Prophet and man live side by side in time: Where Reason reaches raises the head of man - The proud, rude Prophet, driven on the wings Of blasts impalpable, utters the cries, 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 Prophet of the Alleghany Mountains: A Missionary Tale, and Other Poems It may be asked why the following poems should be sent into the world at a time when so many are issuing from the press with far greater claims to patronage and support. The answer is obvious. The writer conceives that the language of our best poets can be properly appreciated only by those who have received a superior education, and whose minds have been cultivated in the highest degree; hence it is she thinks her poems better adapted to those in more humble life, and at the same time she flatters herself they will not be found unpleasing to the most fastidious reader. The aim of the writer has not been so much to please the car by elegance of language as to enforce the first principles of Christianity, not only by precept but by bringing forward examples to prove the excellence of those principles in operation. Therefore she conceives the present volume suited to the capacity of the rising generation, whose best interests she would be ever happy to promote, but more especially the welfare of those pupils who have been, and still are, entrusted to her care, to be instructed in the various branches of female education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophet of Florence There was a movement among the bushes: a youth groping to reach a spot where a knotted clump of cypress on a hillock made a little viewpoint over the far ways. He stood for a few moments, grasping the cypress as if it possessed some living power, at one with the spirit of the place, to guide and direct, with the dumb expectant air of an imprisoned life, waiting for something to break the bars of sense - for the mists to break over the rift of morning light - the vision which, when it opened in its full glory, would yet be but a hovering, mystic dream way - unrealized. The gray mantle thrown carelessly over head and shoulders marked a slight st00p in the figure of the boy as he stood thus silhouetted against the dark of the cypress, while the hood brushed back from his brow revealed, in dark relief, the lights and shadows of a face touched with the world-vision of sorrow of the man. Through the long hour he stood thus, bending further forward in the strain of expectancy, until. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Garden of Abdullah, and Other Poems I did not offer the work to a publisher, because I had not sufficient confidence in myself as a poet. I looked upon my verses as a boy regards some stolen sweets which he hides lest he be found out and punished for his act. The English language being with me one acquired, I was keenly fearful of the critics' cry what I, a foreign Saul, was doing among the Prophets of English prosody.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walt Whitman: The Prophet-Poet In the early weeks of the year of 1907 my eyes were very bad; evenings I could read but little; sometimes it was a few pages, sometimes only a few lines, then I must close the book and brood, ponder, think over what I had read. For such form of reading the poets surpassed all others, and I soon found that Whitman sur passed the other poets; that from him I received the strongest stirrings of my emotions and thoughts. Thereupon I turned to study this man Whit man; I had access to a fine private collection of Whitman matter, as well as the public libra ries, and for several we. -s I saturated myself with Whitman; what he had written, what had been written about him. That was six years ago, but Whitman does not lose his grip on me he lasts, he wears he touches life and feel ing at so many places that I believe he will last and wear.

Download or read book Robinson Jeffers written by James Karman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] deeply informative biography . . . situates the poet in his time and place, tracing the effect of both contemporary history and wild nature on his work.” —Edwin Cranston, Harvard University The precipitous cliffs, rolling headlands, and rocky inlets of the California coast come alive in the poetry of John Robinson Jeffers, an icon of the environmental movement. In this concise and accessible biography, Jeffers scholar James Karman reveals deep insights into this passionate and complex figure and establishes Jeffers as a leading American poet of prophetic vision. In a move that would define his life’s work, Jeffers’ family relocated to California from Pennsylvania in 1903 when he was sixteen. At the height of his popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, Jeffers became one of the few poets ever featured on the cover of Time magazine, and posthumously put on a U.S. postage stamp. Writing by kerosene lamp in a granite tower that he had built himself, his vivid and descriptive poetry of the coast evoked the difficulty and beauty of the wild and inspired photographers such as Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. He was known for long narrative blank verse that shook up the national literary scene, but in the 1940s his interest in the Greek classics led to several adaptations which were staged on Broadway to great success. Inspiring later artists from Charles Bukowski to Czeslaw Milosz and even the Beach Boys, Robinson Jeffers’ contribution to American letters is skillfully brought back out of the shadows of history in this compelling biography of a complex man of poetic genius who wrote so powerfully of the astonishing beauty of nature.
