Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Book of Psalms To call job a tragedy and Solomon's song a comedy is literary trifling and is confusing. If no better name exists, it were better to rec ognize the new type and to invent a new name. The poetry of the Hebrews is so dif ferent, in respect to even the poetic elements, from other poetry as to require a unique analysis and a unique description, and why not its products? The Hebrews acted as diflerently from Europeans in this as they did in the matter of tense, and as in the case Of the tense, it results in as much confusion to speak Of Hebrew drama. Solomon's song is a single poem or a series of poems grouped into a unity, on the subject of love and would better be called an idyl.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Psalms: An Introduction What a sensation would be produced in the literary world by such a collection of poetry as is presented in the Book of Psalms, could it come recommended by the attraction of novelty. But the truth is, that, in general, the ear is accustomed to these ad mirable productions, before the mind can comprehend their meaning, or feel their beauty so that, in maturer life, it requires no inconsiderable effort to give them that attention, which is necessary for the reception of the impressions they are adapted to impart. Another obstacle to a proper estimate of the sacred poetry is the very imperfect translation, and wretched arrangement, in which it has been presented to English readers. Let the lover of poetry imagine what impressions he should receive from the odes of Collins or Gray, cut up into fragments like the verses in the common version of the Bible, and he may comprehend What injustice has been done to the Hebrew poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Talk on the Psalms As already stated, the poetry of the ancient He brews was lyrical. A lyric poem is the immediate expression of feeling, and feeling is the sphere to which most of the Psalms belong. The Hebrews donot seem to have been familiar with the metre, as it was employed by Homer and other ancient bards; at all events they scarcely ever used it. In Hebrew poetry we find a rhythm of thought rather than words; it addresses itself more to the mind than to the ear. This is the special reason why the Psalms can be translated from Hebrew into English with so little loss of the original beauty and vigor.

Download or read book Heart Messages from the Psalms Classic Reprint written by Ralph Welles Keeler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart Messages From the Psalms The Psalms have not been at fault. Folks have not communed with them as they are wont to do with later poets. Accustomed to the poetical forms of the last three hundred years, men have often failed to catch the appeal of these lays of antiquity, sung by Hebrews long since dead. Yet in the upheaval of thought and social structure now going on men are turning in every direction for some mes sage for life. Where better seek it than in the great songs of Israel? In an hour like ours it may be that fellowship can be established between those who have lived and have sung of God, and ourselves who need him so sorely. The message of the poet knows neither time, place, nor age. It is marked by a universal characteristic which sets vibrating heart-chords the world over. Translate it from language to language, and it finds a response, if it really is poetry and not merely verse. For poetry sings of the universal experiences of the race, its griefs and joys, its disappointments and aspirations, its loves, its hates, its hopes. It is a soul singing itself out into other souls. The psalmists were poets. So well did they sing that we listen back through the ages, that we may not lose a note. They did not write in rime, but with vigorous terseness and a remarkable power of condensation they put their poetry into rhythm with a balanced symmetry of form and sense. Poetasters and the erudite rejoice in the details of form and structure of these songs of Israel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Varied Beauty of the Psalms These chapters contain the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Temple emanu-el, New York, on Monday morn ings, in the months of November and De cember, 1915. The lectures included i1 lustrative readings from the Psalms and general literature, which probably formed their chief interest, and which are, at most, but alluded to in this little book. In publishing the latter, however, the author hopes he may help point out some of the many beauties of Israel's immortal poetry. When first given, the lectures were heard by a group of loyal and appreciative hear ers, to all of whom the author feels grate ful, and to one of the most faithful and most generous of whom he has taken the liberty of dedicating these pages.

Download or read book The World s Great Religious Poetry Classic Reprint written by Caroline Miles Hill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Great Religious Poetry The most obvious facts about this collection of poetry are that it is not all great and that it makes strange combinations and sequences. It ranges from the Psalms of David and the Hymn of Cleanthes to the latest free verse. The great hymns that are translated from the Latin and the most radical of the twentieth century verse are alike only in that they show human feeling about the concept that is the foundation of all religion. Many poems that are far from being great belong here because they are significant. There are some persons who say that our age has no religion; others say it is more sincerely religious than any of the great ages of faith that are gone. 1the most intelligent thought of the present bases the authority of religion, not upon revelation, but upon the nature of man. Man's hunger for God is as funda mental and legitimate as his hunger for food and love. Our age may be lost as to what it should believe, but we were never so sure that we must and do believe. The good swimmer knows best how to trust the water; the best life is most reliant upon what some call the Integrity of the Universe and one of the greatest poets called the Everlasting Arms. The great poets have always spoken with authority. In them has the Word been made flesh. Now a war-weary world in search of faith turns to them. The Bible is an anthology of Hebrew literature-the Great Anthology. If no future poets ever rise to so great a height of constructive imagination as those of the classic Hebrew period it will always remain the Bible of the race. A cursory view of other religious poetry shows little that is not based upon the biblical poetry, but the spiritual assets of mankind have never been gathered together that we may see what they are. This book is a step in that direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Translation of the Book of Psalms: With an Introduction, and Notes, Chiefly Explanatory Another obstacle to a proper estimate of the poetry of the Scrip tures is the very imperfect translation, and wretched arrangement, in which it has been presented to English readers. Let the lover of poetry imagine what impressions he should receive from the odes of Collins or Gray, cut up into fragments like the verses in the common version of the Bible, and he may comprehend what injustice has been done to the Hebrew poets. The compositions in the Book of Psalms are the productions of various authors and periods, belong to different species of poetry, and possess various degrees of poetic merit. While some of them present the fresh gushes of excited feeling, or the calmer expres sion of the sublimest sentiments, in the boldest lan guage of poetry, others consist only of moral maxims artificially arranged in a sen tentions style, or of elaborate and imitative prayers and praises, prepared for the public worship of God.
