Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Augustan Books of Modern Poetry Did he find a rose-tree tall Standing by the silent wall? Did he touch the rose of all? Stephen, was it worth the pain, Just to touch a breathing rose? Ah, to think of it again, See, he smiles amid his woes! Did he dream that hell would be Years hereafter? Now, you see, Hell is here - and where is she? At my word, through all his face Flames the infernal fire within; Mary, Mary, grant me grace Still to keep my soul from sin!

Download or read book Studies in Modern Poetry Classic Reprint written by Federico Olivero and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Modern Poetry In his essay on the poetic principle Poe defines the art of verse as 'the rhythmical creation of beauty', and finds its source in the human aspiration to supernal loveliness. In The Raven, more than in any of his poems, the form is direct in its appeal to the reader's mind, in calling up before us the effulgence of another world, in expressing that thirst for immortality, which is the true essence of poetry. Here all is transformed by the magic of art, and endowed with a wider meaning and a deeper significance; we perceive that the bird is a symbol of despair, - that the poet's eager questions are not only suggested by his love for the lost Lenore, but spring out of his heart's core as spiritual flowers aspiring to an eternal sun, - that they are indeed the utterance of his intense and ardent yearning for everlasting life. In this mystic transfiguration of reality, sublimity is attained; we enjoy the pure ecstasy of beauty in the sincere, perfect manifestation of a noble soul.

Download or read book Journeys of a Soul Classic Reprint written by Nathan Appleton Tefft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journeys of a Soul Journeys OF A soul was written to show that nothing, however great or small, can reach the per fect state without sacrifice. Belt man, beast, bird, plant, the nations of the world, the world itself, or the whole universe, the same law applies. I harbor no claim to new theories; they are as old as the hills. I simply have hoped to convey to you, dear reader, in my own homely style, and through the medium of historical periods, that whatever shall be the spirit of the times, is only a phase of the build ing-up and tearing-down methods of the natural forces; and on completing these journeys I offer the following conclusions: Blessed be all the evils of the universe, for they shall lead us to all the good therein; And the pain and sorrows of war, for they shall bring peace on earth and good will to men; And the darkness of yesterday, for out of it came the light of to - day; And the destruction of all our hopes and ambitions, for it shall bring us greater reward. I ask your patience, dear read-er, in following me on these journeys, and permit me to say that I am willing to see the treatment of my subject lost sight of in comparison with its meaning.
