Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems, Essays and Fragments The works of James Thomson the Second, who still needs to be distinguished from his little-read namesake by his pen-name initials of B. V have thus far had a success of esteem rather than a success of popularity. Popular, indeed, they are not likely ever to be: neither his pessi mism nor his criticism ministers enough to the normal judgment to win him a large audience. But some addition there must be, year by year, to the audience for his most remarkable work; and among these there must be some to whom it will be a matter of course that all the literary work of a man of literary genius is interesting. For such readers the present collection has been compiled. It consists almost entirely of verse and prose contributed by Thomson to the National Reformer before 1875, or communicated by his literary executor to its columns during the past year or two. The exceptions are the Sergeants' mess-song, which has been communicated by Mr. Bertram Dobell, three other poems accounted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Poems With Autobiographical and Critical Fragments This volume contains all my husband's published poetry, here collected for the first time. I have included a few very early poems written by him while still a schoolboy, and I have reprinted in full Saint Paul, the poems from the volume entitled The Renewal of Youth, and the poems from Fragments of Prose and Poetry. I have also included a considerable portion of the short autobiography which appeared in this last volume. I have reprinted it here, as it seems to me to form a far more fitting Preface to the Poems than any I could hope to write.

Had the sunlight been permitted to permeate all the atmosphere with its golden glow, the arch would have spanned the entire heavens. This is the reason why, in hours of sorrow, we do not grasp the fullness of God's promise; we permit the denser clouds of doubt and faithless ness to keep the light of God from shining through our griefs; or, with a little faith, we get a gleam of light that gives us but a tiny fragment of the bow.

Download or read book Dream of the Divided Field written by Yanyi and published by One World. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an award-winning poet comes a collection on heartbreak and transitions, written with a piercing lyric ferocity. FINALIST FOR THE NEW ENGLAND BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY • “Written with great tenderness and intimacy, Dream of the Divided Field reveals what we do (and do not) owe to others, and what we owe to ourselves.”—Poets & Writers The poems in Yanyi’s latest book suggest that we enter and exit our old selves like homes. We look through the windows and recognize some former aspect of our lives that is both ours and not ours. We long for what we had even as we recognize that we can no longer live there. Yanyi conjures the beloved both within and without us: the beloved we believe we know, the beloved who is never the person we imagine, and the beloved who threatens to erase us even as we stand before them. How can we carry our homes with us? Informed by Yanyi’s experiences of immigration, violent heartbreak, and a bodily transition, Dream of the Divided Field explores the contradictions that accompany shifts from one state of being to another. In tender, serene, and ethereal poems, Dream of the Divided Field examines a body breaking down and a body that rebuilds in limitless and boundary-shifting ways. These are homes in memory—homes of love and isolation, lust and alienation, tenderness and violence, suffering and wonder.

Download or read book The Voyage That Never Ends written by Malcolm Lowry and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2007-08-21 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS ORIGINAL Notorious for a misspent life full of binges, blackouts, and unimaginable bad luck, Malcolm Lowry managed, against every odd, to complete and publish two novels, one of them, Under the Volcano, an indisputable masterpiece. At the time of his death in 1957, Lowry also left behind a great deal of uncollected and unpublished writing: stories, novellas, drafts of novels and revisions of drafts of novels (Lowry was a tireless revisiter and reviser—and interrupter—of his work), long, impassioned, haunting, beautiful letters overflowing with wordplay and lament, fraught short poems that display a sozzled off-the-cuff inspiration all Lowry’s own. Over the years these writings have appeared in various volumes, all long out of print. Here, in The Voyage That Never Ends, the poet, translator, and critic Michael Hofmann has drawn on all this scattered and inaccessible material to assemble the first book that reflects the full range of Lowry’s extraordinary and singular achievement. The result is a revelation. In the letters—acknowledged to be among modern literature’s greatest—we encounter a character who was, as contemporaries attested, as spellbinding and lovable as he was self-destructive and infuriating. In the late fiction—the long story “Through the Panama,” sections of unfinished novels such as Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend Is Laid, and the little-known La Mordida—we discover a writer who is blazing a path into the unknown and, as he goes, improvising a whole new kind of writing. Lowry had set out to produce a great novel, something to top Under the Volcano, a multivolume epic and intimate tale of purgatorial suffering and ultimate redemption (called, among other things, “The Voyage That Never Ends”). That book was never to be. What he produced instead was an unprecedented and prophetic blend of fact and fiction, confession and confusion, essay and free play, that looks forward to the work of writers as different as Norman Mailer and William Gass, but is like nothing else. Almost in spite of himself, Lowry succeeded in transforming his disastrous life into an exhilarating art of disaster. The Voyage That Never Ends is a new and indispensable entry into the world of one of the masters of modern literature.
Download or read book Shelburne Essays Classic Reprint written by Paul Elmer More and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelburne Essays In Mr. Shelley's poetry, all is brilliance, vacuity, and confusion. We are dazzled by the multitude of words which sound as if they denoted something very grand or Splendid: fragments of images pass in crowds before us; but when the procession has gone by, and the tumult of it is over, not a trace of it remains upon the memory The mind, fatigued and perplexed, is mortified by the consciousness that its labour has not been rewarded by the acquisition of a single distinct conception. (quarterly.) Really, with the best will in the world, I cannot see that Miss Scudder differs SO much from the reviled reviewer of Blackwood's, except that she seems to feel no indignation against an author whose sense of evil is hopelessly superficial. Nor does Mr. Clutton-brock stand very far from the Quarterly when he says that in a story there should be some relation of cause and effect, otherwise it will not hold together; in The Revolt of Islam there is none and admits that in its very absurdity it shows the character of Shelley's mind. The chief difference is that Mr. Clutton-brock apparently thinks it quite a small matter if a long and professedly philo sophical poem leaves the reader perplexed and without any distinct conception of what it is all about.

Download or read book Great Essays Classic Reprint written by Montaigne Montaigne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Essays Every form of literature has its appropriate time and use, and a philosophical study appears to show that each form reaches a culmination at some stage of a nation's history or in the history of the world. When the stage of progress which called it forth is gone by it is hardly possible for future writers to surpass that form of literature in which a nation or an era found its true expression. There is much of falsehood in the apparent truism "history repeats itself," for there are senses in which the world's history is a series of completions. The truth of this may be best realized in regard to other forms of art than the literary, because the spoken and written language which is its medium is more evidently a living growth. The twentieth century will turn back beyond the present era for its greatest models in sculpture; to the fourteenth century for its models in architecture; to the fifteenth for painting; and to the eighteenth for music. Each of these arts has a variety of forms, and each form has its own completion. Egypt and the Orient possessed the greatest temples, the noblest palaces, and the grandest tombs; but whether the expression was that of pre-Christian or Christian civilization, when the culmination of the ideal toward which each was tending was reached, progress in that special path was ended.
