Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sargasso, 1906, Vol. 1 Into whose silence Ocean's currents pour Rich flotsam-treasure, gathered from the shore Of every land, for each has paid its fee Into the coffers of the trade winds free, That, bartering with Time, hold there in store Fair riches that the world would treasure more Than half it dreams, should man but seek the Key. For there, grim miser Ocean Keeps his gold. Aboard old galleons or hidden deep Beneath the worthless sea-weed, heap on heap With rarest pearls and coral wealth untold, Bequeathing to mankind, although unsought, All, age on age, his patient toil has wrought.

Download or read book The Scrip Vol 1 written by Elisabeth Luther Cary and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scrip, Vol. 1: July 1906 T the exhibition of. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts last winter, in the sculpture room, was to be seen a very small figurine representing a child clasping in its arms a picturebook, its face broadly smiling, its sandalled feet stoutly planted, its large head 'childishly erect on the small throat, its entire pose vigorously suggestive of freshness of inspiration. Technically the work had a singular attractive ness. It combined delicacy of modelling with boldness of form. The hand had known just where' to insist upon the anatomical structure for the affect of robustness in the sturdy little figure, and just where to caress the surface into delicate suggestions of light and shadow. The hair lying thick and rough on the head was not permitted to conceal the fine shape of the latter; the dimpled cheeks and dimpled arms, the babyish chin curving softly in beautiful modulation to the little neck, the plump, outspread hands, had, with all their suggestions of tenderness and childhood, not a trace of the sentimental smoothness by which tenderness and child hood commonly are rendered. The touch was firm and clear and the individual character was shown through the soft forms with penetrating imagination. It was altogether a performance of extraordinary distinction, in which the sculptor, Caroline Peddle Ball, displayed all the qualities of her exceedingly personal and interesting art.

Download or read book The Book of the Damned written by Charles Fort and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Book excerpt: The Creator sat upon the throne, thinking. Behind him stretched the illimitable continent of heaven, steeped in a glory of light and color; before him rose the black night of Space, like a wall. His mighty bulk towered rugged and mountain-like into the zenith, and His divine head blazed there like a distant sun. At His feet stood three colossal figures, diminished to extinction, almost, by contrast -- archangels -- their heads level with His ankle-bone. When the Creator had finished thinking, He said, "I have thought. Behold!" He lifted His hand, and from it burst a fountain-spray of fire, a million stupendous suns, which clove the blackness and soared, away and away and away, diminishing in magnitude and intensity as they pierced the far frontiers of Space, until at last they were but as diamond nailheads sparkling under the domed vast roof of the universe. At the end of an hour the Grand Council was dismissed. They left the Presence impressed and thoughtful, and retired to a private place, where they might talk with freedom. None of the three seemed to want to begin, though all wanted somebody to do it.

Download or read book Athanasius Kircher written by Paula Findlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2004.Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) -- German Jesuit, occultist, polymath - was one of most curious figures in the history of science. He dabbled in all the mysteries of his time: the heavenly bodies, sound amplification, museology, botany, Asian languages, the pyramids of Egypt -- almost anything incompletely understood. Kircher coined the term electromagnetism, printed Sanskrit for the first time in a Western book, and built a famous museum collection. His wild, beautifully illustrated books are sometimes visionary, frequently wrong, and yet compelling documents in the history of ideas. They are being rediscovered in our own time. This volume contains new essays on Kircher and his world by leading historians and historians of science, including Stephen Jay Gould, Ingrid Rowland, Anthony Grafton, Daniel Stoltzenberg, Paula Findlen, and Barbara Stafford.-
