Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twelve Books of Epigrams AT the time of his lamented death in 1920, John Arthur Pott was engaged on a complete translation, in verse and prose, of the Epigrams of Martial. The manuscript, about half completed, was left to his friend, Mr W. R. Smale of Radley College, and he, after reading it through, and in part revising it, has decided that, for the moment, the publication of the verse renderings only is advisable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reed of Pan: English Renderings of Greek Epigrams and Lyrics The greater number of the epigrams which I have rendered will be found in Mr. Mackail's Select Epigrams from the Greek Anthology, for the simple reason that Mr. Mackail's selection has been made with such unerring taste and discrimination, that I could find very few epigrams of equal merit which he has not included. And I should like to add a few words of gratitude and admiration not only for Mr. Mackail's beautiful and suggestive introduction to the subject, but for the grace and dignity of his own prose renderings. I find it indeed difficult to express adequately how much I am indebted to his book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Fardel of Epigrams written by Francis Pierrepont Barnard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fardel of Epigrams: Done Into English The contents of this little volume consist of examples drawn to some extent from familiar classical Greek and Latin sources, but for the most part from the undeservedly neglected neolatin and French enrammatists of the late fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. One eleventh-century writer has been included who may serve as a link. In the case of those enrams which originally applied to individuals, now obscure or forgotten, I have not hesitated to substitute modern or suggestive names, where it seemed convenient, in order that the application might be to permanent types, thus employing, in a way, the method known in the seventeenth century as allusive. The mingling of sentiment and satire here is intentional, as being illustrative of the chance-medley of daily experience.

Download or read book Select Epigrams from the Greek Anthology Classic Reprint written by J. W. Mackail and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Epigrams From the Greek Anthology About four thousand of them have been preserved in two collections made at Constantinople in the tenth and the fourteenth century, and the remainder have been brought together from literary and inscriptional sources by more scholars. The earliest of the date from 700 B.C., and they extend from that time almost continuously down to 1000 A.D. Throughout all that period they present little or no change in language or versification. A form of poetry which remained alive for seventeen centuries is unique in literary history, and bears striking testimony to the extraordinary vitality of the Greek genius. That vitality is not yet exhausted; it is still an influence over modern life, art, and thought. This selection of Greek minor poetry draws for us a picture of Greece in little; it is an epitome, slightly sketched with a facile hand, of the book of Greek life. A translation, notwithstanding its limitations and its necessary inadequacy, may give to English readers much of the substance, and something even of the tone and flavour, of the original.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epigrams of Martial It is a singular fact that Martial is the only Latin poet of mark who has not hitherto been completely translated into the English language. If not so interesting as Poets of the Augustan Age for his latinity, he is more so for his pictures of the manners and customs of Rome at that very interesting period, the commencement of the Christian era. It must be premised that his constant and severe castigation of the two great vices which prevailed in his time, and the unflinching boldness with which he proclaims them, has given him the reputation of an obscene poet; but his lashings were well directed, and, no doubt, had a beneficial effect.

Download or read book Applied Wisdom written by Alexander Ineichen and published by Radius Book Group. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying wisdom and avoiding foolishness are two sides of the same coin. Slipping away from either can lead to risky and uncertain situations. Luckily, author Alexander Ineichen has been collecting witticisms for thirty-five years that have made him successful in his career and life. In Applied Wisdom, he collects an anthology of wit and wisdom containing over 700 quotations from sources as wide ranging as Thomas Aquinas and Frank Zappa. He provides entertaining food for thought for businesspeople and the general audience alike, and enables readers to think outside the box to find wisdom. These nuggets, along with his commentary for each, are the valuable words needed for those facing risk and uncertainty. The witticisms provide a full range of being level-headed, truth seeking, brutally heretical, wonderfully insightful, refreshingly politically incorrect, and other intellectual treats and provocations. The advice, blending economics, politics, history, philosophy, psychology, risk management, and much more, provides a winning mix of humor, intellectual heft, and economic survival tips.

Download or read book Epigenetics in the Age of Twitter written by Gerald Weissmann and published by Bellevue Literary Press. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "America's most interesting and important essayist." —Eric Kandel, Nobel Prize–winning author of The Age of Insight "[Gerald Weissmann] bridges the space between science and the humanities, and particularly between medicine and the muses, with wit, erudition, and, most important, wisdom." —Adam Gopnik Epigenetics, which attempts to explain how our genes respond to our environment, is the latest twist on the historic nature vs. nurture debate. In addressing this and other controversies in contemporary science, Gerald Weissmann taps what he calls "the social network of Western Civilization," including the many neglected women of science: from the martyred Hypatia of Alexandria, the first woman scientist, to the Nobel laureates Marie Curie, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, and Elizabeth Blackburn, among other luminaries in the field. Always instructive and often hilarious, this is a one-volume introduction to modern biology, viewed through the lens of contemporary mass media and the longer historical tradition of the Scientific Revolution. Whether engaging in the healthcare debate or imagining the future prose styling of the scientific research paper in the age of Twitter, Weissmann proves himself as an incisive cultural critic and satirist. Gerald Weissmann (August 7, 1930 – July 10, 2019) was a physician, scientist, editor, and essayist whose collections include The Fevers of Reason: New and Selected Essays; Epigenetics in the Age of Twitter: Pop Culture and Modern Science; Mortal and Immortal DNA: Science and the Lure of Myth; and Galileo’s Gout: Science in an Age of Endarkenment.
