Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in the collection are told by a group of adults in the tavern of the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, 20 miles from the poet's home in Cambridge, and a favorite resort for parties from Harvard College. The narrators are friends of the author who, though they were not named, were so plainly characterized as to be easily recognizable. Among those of wider fame are Ole Bull, the violinist, and Thomas William Parsons, the poet and translator of Dante. Each of the three parts has a prelude and a finale, and there are interludes which link together the tales and introduce the narrators. The prelude for the first part begins:"One Autumn night, in Sudbury town,Across the meadows bare and brown,The windows of the wayside innGleamed red with fire-light..."Longfellow undertook the large-scale project in part to combat grief over the death of his wife Fanny in 1861.
Download or read book Birds of Passage written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published by . This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet. He wrote the first American translation of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the five members of the group known as the Fireside Poets. He established his literary career by submitting poetry and prose to various newspapers and magazines. Between January 1824 and his graduation in 1825, he had published nearly 40 minor poems. About 24 of them appeared in the short-lived Boston periodical The United States Literary Gazette. After graduating in 1825, he was offered a job as professor of modern languages at his alma mater. The story, possibly apocryphal, is that an influential trustee, Benjamin Orr, had been so impressed by Longfellow's translation of Horace that he was hired under the condition that he travel to Europe to study French, Spanish and Italian. When he returned to the United States in 1836, Longfellow took up the professorship at Harvard University. He began publishing his poetry, including Voices of the Night in 1839 and Ballads and Other Poems, which included his famous poem The Village Blacksmith, in 1841. His other works include Paul Revere's Ride, A Psalm of Life, The Song of Hiawatha, Evangeline and Christmas Bells.

Download or read book A Wayside Tavern written by Norah Lofts and published by Tree Of Life Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little tavern seemed abandoned when Paulus and his men arrived; Roman soldiers desperate for food and shelter were grateful for what they found. There was more: a female slave left behind, sick unto death and hidden behind the cellar. Paulus kept her secret from the others and when he was injured as the soldiers moved on, Gilda in turn saved his life. So began the saga of the Gildersons, hosts of the One Bull Inn for fifteen hundred years. From wine shop to ale house to secret club and facing transformation again in the twentieth century, the One Bull saw love and happiness, sacrifice, murder, suicide-and miracles. Next to it stood a chapel where lay the body of an ancient and holy British king. It was said that no one who asked for help in prayer at Cerdic's tomb came away without their miracle and it was true- though often the miracle was what was truly needed, not what had been requested. Woven together through history, the Inn and the chapel guided the Gildersons' lives until the day when one final choice had to be made; to dispose of the past or to rebuild it in hope just one more time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Autumn night, in Sudbury town, Across the meadows bare and brown, The windows of the wayside inn Gleamed red with fire-light through the leaves Of woodbine, hanging from the eaves Their crimson curtains rent and thin. As ancient is this hostelry As any in the land may be, Built in the old Colonial day, When men lived in a grander way, With ampler hospitality; A kind of old Hobgoblin Hall, Now somewhat fallen to decay, With weather-stains upon the wall, And stairways worn, and crazy doors, And creaking and uneven floors, And chimneys huge, and tiled and tall.
