Download or read book Christian Mysticism and Australian Poetry written by Toby Davidson and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian poetry is popularly conceived as a tradition founded by the wry, secular and stoic strains of its late-nineteenth-century bush balladeers Adam Lindsay Gordon, Henry Lawson and ‘Banjo’ Paterson, consolidated into a land-based ‘vigour’ in publications such as the Bulletin. Yet this popular conception relies on not actually consulting the poetry itself, which for well over one hundred and fifty years has been cerebral, introspective, feminine and highly — even experimentally — religious. This book casts Australian poetry in a new light by showing how Australian Christian mystical poetics can be found in every era of Australian letters, how literary hostilities towards women poets, eroticism and contemplation served to stifle a critical appreciation of mystical poetics until recent decades, and how in the twentieth century one Australian Christian mystical poet began to influence another and share their appreciations of Dante, Donne, Traherne, Blake, Wordsworth, Brontë, Rossetti, Hopkins, Yeats, Eliot and Lowell.
Download or read book Australian Poetry written by Paul Kane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and original reading of Australian poetry, from the colonial period to the present, through the dual lenses of Romanticism and negativity. Paul Kane argues that the absence of Romanticism functions as a crucial presence in the poetry of all the major Australian poets. This absence or negativity is both thematic and structural, and Kane's scrupulous analyses uncover important relations between Romanticism and negativity. Chapters on nine individual poets explore and substantiate the theoretical claims informed by the work of contemporary critics of Romanticism and by various philosophers of negativity. These chapters can serve as a series of self-contained readings of Australian poets for the use of students, scholars, and informed general readers. Australian Poetry is unique in its sustained argument and theoretical sophistication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Spray and Smoke Drift: Bush Ballads and Rhymes And one who rode on a dark brown steed, Clean jointed, Sinewy, spare, With the lean game head of the Blacklock breed And the resolute eye that loved the lead, And the quarters massive and square A tower of strength, With a promise of speed (there was Celtic blood in the pair).

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.' Courage, comrades, this is certain, All is for the best There are lights behind the curtain Gentles, let us rest. As the smoke-rack veers to seaward. From ' the ancient clay, ' With its moral drifting leeward, Ends the wanderer's lay. HIPPODROMANIA; OR, WHIFFS FROM THE PIPE IN FIVE PARTS PART 1 VISIONS IN THE SMOKE1 Rest, and be thankful! On the vergo Of the tall cliff, rugged and grey, By whose granite base the breakers surge, And shiver their frothy spray, Outstretched, I gaze on the eddying wreath That gathers and flits away, With the surf beneath, and between my teeth The stem of the ' ancient clay.' With the anodyne cloud on my listless eyes, With its spell on my dreamy brain, Written in 1865. As I watch the circling vapours rise From the brown bowl up to the sullen skies, My vision becomes more plain, Till a dim kaleidoscope succeeds Through the smoke-rack drifting and veering, Lake ghostly riders on phantom steeds To a shadowy goal careering. In their own generation the wise may sneer, They hold our sports in derision; Perchance to sophist, or sage, or seer Were allotted a graver vision. Yet if man, of all the Creator planned, His noblest work is reckoned, Of the works of His hand, by sea or by land, The horse may at least rank second. Did they quail, those steeds of the squadrons light, Did they flinch from the battle's roar, When they burst on the guns of the Muscovite, By the echoing Black Sea shore ? On ! on ! to the cannon's mouth they stride, With never a swerve nor a shy, Oh ! the minutes of yonder maddening ride, Long years of pleasure outvie !...
