Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America to England and Other Poems In his Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot, Pope writes, I lisped in numbers - for the numbers came. I can hardly say that, with perfect truthfulness. I sometimes wonder if Pope himself could. But I have been writing rhymes ever since I was seven years old. My father - a farmer - offered the munificent reward of one cent a page - nothing said as to size - for all I would write in the way of original composition - either prose or verse. When some of Mr. Beecher's parishioners complained because he said so many witty things in the pulpit, he told them that they would appreciate his reticence if only they knew how many witty things he refrained from saying. So, although I have published a great deal of verse, my friends would appreciate my self-denial if only they knew how much I have not published. The world in general has a way of protecting itself by declining to buy or read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American and British Literature The object of literature in education is to open the mind, to correct it, to refine it, to enable it to comprehend and digest its knowledge, to give it power over its faculties, application, flexibility, method, critical exactness, sagacity, address and expression. - John Henry Newman. All the arts are dwarfed by the power of literature. Each other art can express only some part of the mind; music a part, architecture a part, painting a part, but literature can express all the thoughts and emotions of the entire spirit. And this art one can carry with him when he travels; it can flourish in one little room. It depends not upon wealth or house or gallery, but where the mind has a common education there this art can find its home. - Professor Swing. To love the best literature is to possess the truest and most imperishable of earthly riches. Such a love gives to the young what they most need. It creates and sustains high and beautiful ideals of human life, gives them the choicest companions and truest friends, and enlarges their mental and spiritual horizon. It enables them to keep the keen appreciation, sweet trustfulness, and beautiful simplicity of childhood, while it multiplies both their powers or usefulness and sources of happiness. - Frank V.

Download or read book Modern American and British Poetry Classic Reprint written by Louis Untermeyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American and British Poetry Since the chronological arrangement is, in spite of cer tain disadvantages, the only logical one, an arbitrary boundary has been fixed. Conceiving modern British poetry to begin after the fertile tennyson-browning rossetti-swinburne epoch, the year 1840 is made to act as dividing-line; any poet born before that date is ruthlessly excluded. In the case of American1 poetry, the line has been moved back ten years. Thus, by includ ing work of poets born in this country as early as 1830, a richer background has been given the poetry of our times; and, although some of the interval poets like Ald rich and Lanier could scarcely be considered modern, it is curious to see how wide and how completely the circle has swung since Walt Whitman startled the world with Leaves of Grass. The first part of this collection might well be called, American Poetry since'whitman for the poet who has often been called the godfather of the new generation ended one period and began another. It is a happy circumstance that this volume should begin with the poetry of Emily Dickinson (born 1830) whose work, printed for the first time after her death, was unknown as late as 1890 and unnoticed until several years later. For hers was a forerunner of the new Spirit - free in expression, unhampered in choice of subject, keen in psychology - to which a countryful of writers has responded. NO longer confined to London, Boston or New York as literary centers, the impulse to create is everywhere. There is scarcely a state, barely a town ship that has not produced its local laureate.

Download or read book Modern Verse written by Anita P. Forbes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Verse: British and American In looking over the anthologies of poetry on the shelves of any well-equipped public library, one thinks of the rats that followed the Pied Piper. There are war poems, love poems, sad poems, funny poems, old poems, new poems, child poems, college poems, poems of the city, poems of the country - anthologies by tens and dozens. In the latest additions to these we take particular pride, for they represent the verse of our own age. Modern poetry is worth being proud of for at least two reasons. First, it appeals to many different types of people. Whether one is looking for poems that are heroic, fanciful, humorous, or thoughtful - poems on any subject from the steel industry to the immortality of the soul - poems of the loftiest imagination or the tenderest human interest - he will find his desires gratified. In no other period of English literature has poetry been so varied, so like an elaborate prism which flashes new beauty to each eye. For never before has it refracted the light of so many and such different personalities. It has been said that every one can write at least one good poem; and nowadays he can usually get it published. The name of our young poets is Legion. Moreover, many of our poets, even the best-known ones, have wide interests besides their poetry. They may be newpaper men, lawyers, college professors, army officers, social workers. The great emotional stimulus of the war drove vigorous, practical men and women of all ages and occupations to the discovery that poetry might be a solace and joy not only to the student or visionary, but to the average person.
