Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of Fancy: Poems HE tide is now at the ebb and I hear it swirling among the rocks and regurgitating in ceaseless eddyings through the long weed, that waits with slender, tensile fingers to entangle and drag down some unwary swimmer. The wind is blowing in squalls, suddenly blackening the water and lightly carrying off the surface and blowing it to smoke; while behind me the grass and the young corn change in silvery patches with the passing gusts. But amid it all I see her little face, that with its great mysterious grey eyes still shines in undimmed beauty from the past, and to which these verses are dedicate. It was once, and it shall be again; the tide will return and the wind will fall away. I have not always known, but yesterday I climbed the Hills of the Mist, and shook the unyielding bars of the gates of Death; and then I knew - What is one life in immortality?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Innocent, Her Fancy and His Fact: A Novel The old by-road went rambling down into a dell of deep green shadow. It was a reprobate of a road, - a vagrant of the land, - having long ago wandered out of straight and even courses and taken to meandering aimlessly into many ruts and furrows under arching trees, which in wet weather poured their weight of dripping rain upon it and made it little more than a mud pool. Between straggling bushes of elder and hazel, blackberry and thorn, it made its solitary shambling way, so sunken into itself with long disuse that neither to the right nor to the left of it could anything be seen of the surrounding country. Hidden behind the intervening foliage on either hand were rich pastures and ploughed fields, but with these the old road had nothing in common. There were many things better suited to its nature, such as the melodious notes of the birds which made their homes year after year amid its bordering thickets, or the gathering together in springtime of thousands of primroses, whose pale, small, elfin faces peeped out from every mossy corner, - or the scent of secret violets in the grass, filling the air with the delicate sweetness of a breathing made warm by the April sun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yellow Fairy Book The Editor thinks that children will readily forgive him for publishing another Fairy Book. We have had the Blue, the Red, the Green, and here is the Yellow. If children are pleased, and they are so kind as to say that they are pleased. The Editor does not care very much for what other people may say. Now, there is one gentleman who seems to think that it is not quite right to print so many fairy tales, with pictures, and to publish them in red and blue covers. He is named Mr. G. Laurence Gomme, and he is president of a learned body called the Folk Lore Society. Once a year he makes his address to his subjects, of whom the Editorie one, and Mr. Joseph Jacobs (who has published many delightful fairy tales with pretty pictures) 1 is another. Fancy, then, the dismay of Mr. Jacobs, and of the Editor, when they heard their president say that he did not think it very nice in them to publish fairy books, above all, red, green, and blue fairy books! They said that they did not see any harm in it, and they were ready to put themselves on their country, ' and be tried by a jury of children. And, indeed, they still see no harm in what they have done; nay, like Father William in the poem, they are ready 'to do it again and again.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Island Saints: Stories for Children She loved to play among the flowers, to stand on tiptoe and look up at the stately white lilies, or bend down to search among the fragrant leaves for sweet-scented violets. Such rare and exquisite flowers blossomed all around her, that it was difficult to decide which was the fairest, and the child used to fancy as she passed along that each one whispered to her choose me. But she would only shake her head and hurry on, until she reached her own little plot of flowers in a corner of the garden. It was not so sunny or so gay, perhaps, as some of the other flowerbeds, but it belonged to her, and that made it beautiful in her eyes. 'It is you I love best, dear flowers, she would say, bending down lovingly over the velvet pansies and sweet pinks, because you are my very own, and grow in my very own garden.' It is with us, as with that child. We walk through Gods garden and look at the fair flowers we call His saints.

Download or read book Geek Love written by Katherine Dunn and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist • Here is the unforgettable story of the Binewskis, a circus-geek family whose matriarch and patriarch have bred their own exhibit of human oddities—with the help of amphetamines, arsenic, and radioisotopes. One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Their offspring include Arturo the Aquaboy, who has flippers for limbs and a megalomaniac ambition worthy of Genghis Khan . . . Iphy and Elly, the lissome Siamese twins . . . albino hunchback Oly, and the outwardly normal Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family’s most precious—and dangerous—asset. As the Binewskis take their act across the backwaters of the U.S., inspiring fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion; as its members conduct their own Machiavellian version of sibling rivalry, Geek Love throws its sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly, the holy and the obscene. Family values will never be the same.
