Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetical Recreation These "Poetical Recreations," as, for the want of a better title, the author has chosen to style them, are the result of leisure moments in the midst of other and more important avocations. They are a selection of what have appeared, as they were composed, in one or other of our local periodicals, wherein it was expected their ephemeral existence would have terminated. And now it is only in consequence of the continued solicitation of many friends that in their present shape and under the same nom de plume they are again put into type.

Download or read book The Complete Poems of John D Conway Or Hours of Recreation Classic Reprint written by John D. Conway and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Poems of John D. Conway, or Hours of Recreation In placing these poems before the public I only do what a host of others have clone who have preceded me, with the hope that they will be treated with justice, as I am not averse to censure anymore than comment, when it comes from a highly intellectual and unprejudiced channel. While submitting them to the public I do not presume to think that they are without fault, neither do I wish it understood that I could have done better. To expect from a young man, who has not enjoyed the benefits of a common school education, a literary production without fault, when so many talented and more experienced writers of verse are treated with unmeasured contempt by the critical reviews, is unreasonable. These effusions of poesy are the first which have emanated from the present source, and probably will he the last.

Download or read book The Kismet Poems Classic Reprint written by Frank M. Frisselle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kismet Poems With exceeding hesitation, the writer of the verses contained in this volume essays to place them in the hands of his friends in published form. They were originally written for the Manchester (n. H.) Union, and 1n obedience to requests from a few admirers they are pre sented in the shape here seen. The verses were prepared, in almost every instance, in the still, small hours of the night, after the wide-awake printer had received his last supply of news manuscript for the morning edition of a large daily paper. In no sense does the author lay claim to any poetical talent, nor does he for one moment expect that his modest verses will dis place any of the writings of the poets who have come and gone. The following verses were written for amusement and recreation, and not with the intention of clinging closely to the rules laid down by the critics. If these lines afford pleasing thoughts for those who peruse them, the mission of Kismet will perhaps not.

Download or read book My House Chips the Builder Threw Away Classic Reprint written by Edward Augustus Brackett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My House, Chips the Builder Threw Away In 1845 I published a little volume of poems, written while engaged in my profession of Sculpture. Since then, until the past year or two, the struggle for material existence left lit tle time or strength for literary work. The main part of this book has been written during the past year, the recreation of my leisure hours. The poems are what an artist might call sketches, containing many lines which, in a more serious effort, would have been left out. Such pruning would, however, have destroyed the spontaneity of feeling under which they were written. The reader must, therefore, accept or reject them mainly for the ideas or sentiments which they imperfectly express.

Download or read book Poems and Stories in Verse Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Mary Edwards Bryan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Stories in Verse The poems in this little volume were written in the scant leisure hours, scattered through busy years of pen-work in more prosaic lines. Only one of them was ever offered to a publisher; those that have been in print appeared in the periodicals I was editing at the time when they were written. Writing them was to me a recreation and a pleasure. They were spontan eous, springing from the feeling, thought or fancy of the hour. Some of them are sombre; but life has more shadow than sunshine, and it is in shadowed ways that we gather the deepest lessons of life, as more fragrant dew is found in the heart of flowers that bloom in the shade. Some of the poems have been widely copied and some of the stories in verse seem to have been prized as recitations. Such as they are, I offer these collected bits of verse to my friends, who have so often called for them with words of kindly praise, and to the pub lic, who may not be so generous in their estimate, say ing once more, that they are but as wild flowers, sown by the winds of fancy and feeling, between the furrows of more prosaic work in the field of daily duty.
