Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in Verse and Prose Emerging from a long drawn nightmare of war, the world will take account of its recent past even while it looks to preparation for the future. The retrospect will disclose an amazing alchemy. We were living through great days - how great we could not know until they had passed away. No epic has been written, nor is it likely any will be, for the war was its own epic; and there is no Homer to tell its story in one great song. The motive was too profound, the theme too vast. Homer's world was little. But out of the fury that raged round our world came many voices, voices of lamentation, of home, of love and hope and loftiest aspiration, of romance, of comedy as well as tragedy. They had their inspiration from the tremendous vision of a world grappling with death; from the thoughts and emotions not of one people, but of all that were fighting the battle of humanism. Poets great and poets minor have expressed the purpose and spirit of the war in a passionate, personal way impossible to the historian. Their utterances, being sincere, have enduring appeal. It would not be well were all these voices lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book War Verse Classic Reprint written by Frank Foxcroft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Verse Regarded merely as verse, some of the poems by little known writers in this collection rise to as high a level as the writing of the recognized poets; regarded as the expression of true feeling, they often rise much higher. It would be presumptuous to describe this volume as an anthology. That term would imply research, orderly arrangement, classification. It has seemed to the Editor more suitable to present these poems without explanations or any definite grouping. The verses are sometimes light and gay, more often serious, but always they ring true.

They have been gathered in days when the world was at war. They speak sometimes of war. They must, because your life will be touched by the sacrifices war may ask of your home. They speak oftener of love of country. They should, for this country, created by the love and labors of your fathers, is your heritage. You will receive it from their hands as a legacy made richer by their efforts. You will think of it as they have thought of it, love it as they have loved it. You will make it serve, as they are making it serve today in a brotherhood of arms, that tomorrow there may be a brotherhood of peace.

Download or read book War Aims Peace Ideals written by Tucker Brooke and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Aims Peace Ideals: Selections in Prose Verse Much by way of famous name or well-remembered passage has necessarily been omitted; but we have striven to make probable that, at least by implication or reference, all important ideas should find a place. The order chosen for the arrangement of material, with the spokesmen of Germany first and those of America last, roughly corresponds with the chronological sequence whereby these sets of ideals were translated into action and became important for the world. It is therefore primarily as a book of the literature of the war that we offer this volume, a literature of ideas and emotions, sometimes rising to greatness, sometimes valuable only for the burden of disastrous opinion, but always interesting to the student of human nature and the philosophy of war. Better than any reasoned explanation this collection presents the struggle of 1914-1918, for in quite as real a sense as the clash of armies or the political acts of states, the conflict of ideals here included is the very essence of the war itself.
