Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Leaves From a Note-Book The afternoon sun was warm on the five workmen there, busy upon doors and window-frames and wainscoting. A scent of pine-wood from a tent-like pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the Open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak panelling which stood propped against the wall. On a heap of those soft shavings a rough gray shepherd dog had made himself a pleasant bed, and was lying with his nose between his forepaws, occasionally wrinkling his brows to cast a glance at the tallest of the five workmen, who was carving a shield in the centre of a wooden mantelpiece. It was to this workman that the strong barytone belonged which was heard above the sound of plane and hammer, singing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From a Cambridge Note-Book IT was in the Lent Term towards the time when the coming of Spring is no longer an illusion that we rose up with the first bird-call, shook the dew from laden grass-blades, and cried Good morning to the road. For Spring and the road were calling to us, and there is no gainsaying these mighty voices. They have the authority of the Universal in their tones. For the spirit of Spring is of boundless space and of all time, it pervades the country not alone, but cities and the sea. And the cry of all roads is of travel out into the four corners of the world; and strong-voiced is this Roman road of ours which has journeyed from many centuries ago, and will roll on imperturbably to aeons wrapped in the blue distance. Upon a Spring morning there is no better com rade than a road. For when Spring is in the blood, whatever age our bodies, we ourselves are young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Theophrastus Such: Essays and Leaves From a Note-Book IT is my habit to give an account to myself of the char acters I meet with: can I give any true account of my own? I am a bachelor, without domestic distractions Of any sort, and have all my life been an attentive companion to myself, flattering my nature agreeably on plausible oc casions, reviling it rather bitterly when it mortified me, and in general remembering its doings and sufferings with a tenacity which is too apt to raise surprise if not disgust at the careless inaccuracy of my acquaintances, who im pute to me Opinions I never held, express their desire to convert me to my favourite ideas, forget whether I have ever been to the East, and are capable of being three several times astonished at my never having told them before Of my accident in the Alps, causing me the nervous Shock which has ever since notably diminished my digestive powers. Surely I ought to know myself better than these indifferent outsiders can know me; nay, better even than my intimate friends, to whom I have never breathed those items of my inward experience which have chiefly Shaped my life.

Download or read book Granite and Rainbow Essays Classic Reprint written by Virginia Woolf and published by London : Hogarth Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Granite and Rainbow Essays Virginia Woolf published during her life two volumes of collected essays: The Common Reader, First and Second Series. After her death I took steps to gather together her essays which had not been included in those volumes. There were a considerable number of them; most of them had been published in journals, but a few had never been published. They proved sufficient to fill three posthumous volumes: The Death of the Moth, 1942; The Moment, 1947, and The Captain's Death Bed, 1950. I included in those volumes only those essays which seemed to me of the same order of excellence as those which she herself had chosen to reprint in The Common Reader. When I published The Captain's Death Bed, I thought that I had been able to identify all the essays which had appeared in journals and I wrote in the editorial note to that volume that it would be the last book of collected essays, since I had now included in the posthumous volumes all her essays, with a few unimportant exceptions. I was mistaken about this, for those who had searched the records, including myself, had overlooked a considerable number of essays of the same kind and of the same merit as those published in the five volumes. There were several reasons for this. Virginia Woolf only spasmodically kept copies of essays and reviews written by her for journals and there was often no record of their publication among her papers. This accounted for the fact that the existence of the long essay, Phases of Fiction, published in The Bookman in 1929, was forgotten. Another difficulty was that so many of her essays appeared anonymously in papers like the Times Literary Supplement, and a further complication, not noticed by the searchers, was that in some cases they had been written under her maiden name, Virginia Stephen.

Download or read book Selected Essays Poems and Other Writings written by A. S. Byatt and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-04-07 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as 'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems; and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning. Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding of writers.

Download or read book Notes and Essays on Shakespeare Classic Reprint written by John W. Hales and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Essays on Shakespeare Seeing our dearth of information about Shakespeare is so great, nothing that may be of the slightest value ought to be neglected; and so it may be worth while to consider what scenes and sights may have been familiar to him in his journeyings to and fro from Stratford to London. The transit can be accomplished now in four or five hours; but it was no such light matter in the Elizabethan age. The distance is some 100 miles (by Oxford 94), and probably under ordinary circumstances would occupy four or five days to traverse, though no doubt, under pressure, a less time might suffice. These periods would certainly form notable epochs in the poet's life. What a change from "the smoke and uproar and riches of Rome"! No doubt he would seldom travel alone. Perils from robbers were too common and too serious to encourage that practice. But yet he would often be lonely enough; and many a thought after wards embodied in immortal shape must have occurred to him during these long hours.
