Book excerpt: Excerpt from Varieties in Prose, Vol. 2 It was a comfort to find that the people at the inn spoke English intelligibly, though with a strong foreign accent, and there were several English tourists in the dining-room, with one Of whom, a mild old gentleman, I had some pleasant conversation. After dinner we were agreeably surprised with music, the old airs of the country performed on an extremely ancient sort of stringed instrument, which was no other than a harp; nor in fact were we otherwhere than in the land of Gwynedd in Kymru, named by the Saxons or English North Wales.' Wales, to this day of the nineteenth century, is notably unlike England. Undivided now from the larger and more fertile part of the island by any Offa's Dyke, river, line of castles, or other visible march, its shir'es geographically and legally a piece of England, the people here have thoughts, habits, ways of life of their own, and a language of their own, not only generally spoken and written, preached and sung, but taking the shape of books, magazines and newspapers, produced and accepted on the ordinary principles of supply and demand; which language (of course with many modifi cations and accretions) is no other at basis than that which ancient Britain spoke before the Teuton tribes who gave name and shape to 'england' were ever heard of in the island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prose, Vol. 2 of 2 Among the victims, however, there were some, splendidly apparelled, whose business it was to preserve the rest from being crushed by his steps, yet who appeared to delight in the misfortunes of their fellow creatures, whom they urged to push one another down in the path of the monster, for their own amusement. At the same time, with goads in their hands, which had been entrusted to them expressly for the purpose of keeping him off, they incessantly pricked him on, even when he would have been quiet, or have taken a different road. One of these especially distinguished himself; he was a little man, in a green coat, with an eagle's head on his shoulders, and a cook's comb upon it, of which he was prodigiously vain. This nondescript being had the power of driving the destroyer whithersoever he pleased, - except across the straits of Dover. After the giant had thus exercised himself (with one short interval of slumber) for more than twenty years, - twenty years in a reverie may be passed in twenty seconds, - he appeared utterly exhausted. Suddenly, as if he had been struck by apoplexy, he lay down, and stretching himself out at full length, from the rock of Gibraltar, a cross the whole continent of Europe, and beyond the arctic circle, he made his pillow of the polar ices, and fell fast asleep, - for Peace is only the sleep of war.

Download or read book Readings in Literature Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Franklin B. Dyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Literature, Vol. 2 This collection of readings IN literature is designed as a basal Reader for the eighth grade of the Elementary School or the mid-year of the Junior High School. It has been prepared with the realization that this is a period of transition for most pupils from elementary to secondary education, and that the character of the literature is an important means of bridging the gap between the two. The high-school requirements in literature usually include Poetry, Essays, Biography, Oratory, Prose Fiction, Drama, and Scripture. It is the purpose of this Reader to acquaint pupils with these types of literary expression in their simplest and choicest forms, without taking the keen edge off the pupils' interest by anticipating the more difficult selections that will be read later. The book thus lays the foundations for high school English by presenting many kinds of poetry from Addison down through the recent World War by numerous biographical notes and sketches of statesmen and men of letters, and essays of humor and fancy; by many Simple examples of oratory from American and English statesmen, including some of the most recent; by short stories and tales from Irving, Poe, 0. Henry, and living writers; by a sketch of the life of Shakespeare, and three great scenes from Julius Caesar; Old Testament readings from the book of Daniel, the Psalms, and the book of Job.

Book excerpt: This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone eager to know more about the history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and rhetoric of Ancient Rome. Latin literature is a natural successor of Ancient Greek literature. The beginning of Classic Roman literature dates to 240 BC. From that point on, Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries. Latin was the language of the ancient Romans, but it was also the lingua franca of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Consequently, Latin Literature outlived the Roman Empire and it included European writers who followed the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas, to secular writers like Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and Isaac Newton. This collection presents all the major Classic Roman authors, including Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Horace whose work intrigues and fascinates readers until this day. Content: Plautus: Aulularia Amphitryon Terence: Adelphoe Ennius: Annales Catullus: Poems and Fragments Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Julius Caesar: The Civil War Sallust: History of Catiline's Conspiracy Cicero: De Oratore Brutus Horace: The Odes The Epodes The Satires The Epistles The Art of Poetry Virgil: The Aeneid The Georgics Tibullus: Elegies Propertius: Elegies Cornelius Nepos: Lives of Eminent Commanders Ovid: The Metamorphoses Augustus: Res Gestae Divi Augusti Lucius Annaeus Seneca: Moral Letters to Lucilius Lucan: On the Civil War Persius: Satires Petronius: Satyricon Martial: Epigrams Pliny the Younger: Letters Tacitus: The Annals Quintilian: Institutio Oratoria Juvenal: Satires Suetonius: The Twelve Caesars Apuleius: The Metamorphoses Ammianus Marcellinus: The Roman History Saint Augustine of Hippo: The Confessions Claudian: Against Eutropius Boethius: The Consolation of Philosophy Plutarch: The Rise and Fall of Roman Supremacy: Romulus Poplicola Camillus Marcus Cato Lucullus Fabius Crassus Coriolanus Cato the Younger Cicero
