Download or read book Solitude written by Carmela Ciuraru and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary sanctuary for what Shakespeare called “sessions of sweet silent thought,” this exquisite gathering of poems speaks to the consolations of solitude. Here is Wordsworth wandering “lonely as a cloud”; Poe confiding “all I loved, I loved alone”; Yeats’s communion with “the deep heart’s core”; and Han Shan’s heart of a hermit, “clean as a white lotus.” From Sir Edward Dyer’s “My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is,” to the spiritual searching of the Transcendentalists, to the meditative verse of Jorie Graham, some of the most indelible poems from every time and culture have grown out of the aloneness inherent in the poet’s art. The poems collected here, whether reflecting on the soul or on nature, addressing an absent loved one, or honoring the self, form a book of respite and contemplation, and a beautiful tribute to the interior life.

Rossetti, we at last have the genuine, the immortal Shelley. It may indeed be said that the poem, though singularly lovely and full-charged with meaning, has a certain morbid vagueness of tone, a want Of firm human body: and this is true enough.

Download or read book In Search of Solitude written by Henry Langhorne and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest volume of poetry, In Search of Solitude, Henry Langhorne once again offers his readers what they have grown to expect. Under intriguing titles such as "Life Is Such a Small Place," "Her Preserves," and "The Sixty-Year-Old Kiss," he provides one lyrical line after another that provokes thought; elicits emotions of love, fear, regret, and thanksgiving; and offers more than an occasional surprise for the heart and mind. Known for his "doctor poems" and for his melancholy perspective on life's events, Henry Langhorne continues both themes in this new book, sometimes in the same poem. An example is the last stanza of "4 West at the End of the Hall," a poem about a doctor who spends a few last minutes with a patient: It all took place on 4 West at the end of the hall. I would sit, holding a hand slowly cooling. That was all.

Download or read book Maestro of Solitude written by Robert Bonazzi and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting work from the 1990s into the new millennium, Robert Bonazzi's fifth book of poems--his first in 20 years--draws upon the slow-gathering wisdom of late middle age. These poems are dialogues between the clockwork of ego and timeless solitude and between earthly intimacy and the death of loved ones; lucid discourses on global politics and besieged communities; and witty takes on poetics and the arts. Often considered one of the unsung heroes of modern American poetry, Bonazzi has elicited praise from such contemporaries as Mark Van Doren, Thomas Merton, Guy Davenport, Robert Peters, and Naomi Shihab Nye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...: NOTE ON ALASTOR BY MAEY WOLLSTONECRAFT SHELLEY. "Alastor" is written in a very different tone from "Queen Mab." In the latter, Shelley poured out all the cherished speculations of his youth--all the irrepressible emotions of sympathy, censure, and hope, to which the present suffering, and what he considers the proper destiny of his fellow-creatures, gave birth. "Alastor," on the contrary, contains an individual interest only. A very few years, with their attendant events, had checked the ardour of Shelley's hopes, though he still thought them well grounded, and that to advance their fulfilment was the noblest task man could achieve. This is neither the time nor place to speak of the misfortunes that chequered his life. It will be sufficient to say, that in all he did, he at the time of doing it believed himself justified to his own conscience; while the various ills of poverty and loss of friends brought home to him the sad realities of life. Physical suffering had also considerable influence in causing him to turn his eyes inward; inclining him rather to brood over the thoughts and emotions of his own soul, than to glance abroad, and to make, as in " Queen Mab," the whole universe the object and subject of his song. In the spring of 1815, an eminent physician pronounced that he was dying rapidly of a consumption; abscesses were formed on his lungs, and he suffered acute spasms. Suddenly a complete change took place; and though through life he was a martyr to pain and debility, every symptom of pulmonary disease vanished. His nerves, which nature had formed sensitive to an unexampled Mes. Shelley's Note On Alastor. xlv degree, were rendered still more susceptible by the state of his health. As soon as the peace of 1814 had opened the...
