Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of Modern Poetry The book is founded upon lectures on twentieth-century Poets and Poetry, de livered to a general audience in Edinburgh. In the interpretation of George Meredith's poetry, I am deeply indebted to The Poetry and Philosophy of George Meredith by G. M. Trevelyan. In dealing with the general theory of poetry, I owe much to Professor Bradley's Oxford Lectures on Poetry, and to A New Study of English Poetry by Sir Henry N ewbolt, to whom also I am grateful for his kind permission to reprint in Chapter IV.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Augustan Books of Modern Poetry Did he find a rose-tree tall Standing by the silent wall? Did he touch the rose of all? Stephen, was it worth the pain, Just to touch a breathing rose? Ah, to think of it again, See, he smiles amid his woes! Did he dream that hell would be Years hereafter? Now, you see, Hell is here - and where is she? At my word, through all his face Flames the infernal fire within; Mary, Mary, grant me grace Still to keep my soul from sin!

Download or read book Animal Soul written by Bob Hicok and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chosen alongside celebrated poets Louise Glück and Czeslaw Milosz, Bob Hicok's Animal Soul was the standout surprise of the 2002 National Book Critics Circle Award nominations. According to author David Wojahn, a three-time winner of the Pushcart Prize, this collection of poetry "is the best collection yet by a poet who has become one of the most individual and necessary voices of his generation. An almost prophetic rage seems to inhabit these poems, which present us with a speaker who is tender and brutally rueful by turns. Bob Hicok asks to be a voice of conscience in a conscience-less world. And, like all true prophets, his rage and consternation in the end transform themselves into a form of prayer, what one of his poems calls a 'mad . . . devotion.' Hicok is able to instruct and console us, and that is a very rare thing indeed."
Download or read book Studies in Modern Poetry Classic Reprint written by Federico Olivero and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Modern Poetry In his essay on the poetic principle Poe defines the art of verse as 'the rhythmical creation of beauty', and finds its source in the human aspiration to supernal loveliness. In The Raven, more than in any of his poems, the form is direct in its appeal to the reader's mind, in calling up before us the effulgence of another world, in expressing that thirst for immortality, which is the true essence of poetry. Here all is transformed by the magic of art, and endowed with a wider meaning and a deeper significance; we perceive that the bird is a symbol of despair, - that the poet's eager questions are not only suggested by his love for the lost Lenore, but spring out of his heart's core as spiritual flowers aspiring to an eternal sun, - that they are indeed the utterance of his intense and ardent yearning for everlasting life. In this mystic transfiguration of reality, sublimity is attained; we enjoy the pure ecstasy of beauty in the sincere, perfect manifestation of a noble soul.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry written by Jonathan Wordsworth and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-05-26 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776 and 1789 represented a new flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacity for love. This extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake's 'Tyger', Coleridge's 'Khubla Khan' and Shelley's 'Ozymandias' alongside verse from less familiar figures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary Robinson. We also see familiar poets in an unaccustomed light, as Blake, Wordsworth and Shelley demonstrate their comic skills, while Coleridge, Keats and Clare explore the Gothic and surreal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul's Quest: And Other Poems As I have wandered thro' the fields of life Gay, happy fields, bright with the sun and sky Flower after flower Has bloomed beside my path And I have gathered them, a long-loved handful, Which I offer now To the unpitying, cruel-laughing world. And some are gay, Sparkling with joy and the bright sun of hope And some are sad, Dipped in the crimson of the setting sun, Or blasted by the cold of winter winds But all the roots Are down, far down, within the spirit's depths, Amid the voiceless shadows of the soul, And each has sprung From the warm life-blood throbbing in my heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journeys of a Soul Journeys OF A soul was written to show that nothing, however great or small, can reach the per fect state without sacrifice. Belt man, beast, bird, plant, the nations of the world, the world itself, or the whole universe, the same law applies. I harbor no claim to new theories; they are as old as the hills. I simply have hoped to convey to you, dear reader, in my own homely style, and through the medium of historical periods, that whatever shall be the spirit of the times, is only a phase of the build ing-up and tearing-down methods of the natural forces; and on completing these journeys I offer the following conclusions: Blessed be all the evils of the universe, for they shall lead us to all the good therein; And the pain and sorrows of war, for they shall bring peace on earth and good will to men; And the darkness of yesterday, for out of it came the light of to - day; And the destruction of all our hopes and ambitions, for it shall bring us greater reward. I ask your patience, dear read-er, in following me on these journeys, and permit me to say that I am willing to see the treatment of my subject lost sight of in comparison with its meaning.

Download or read book The Realistic Revolt in Modern Poetry Classic Reprint written by Arthur Melville Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Realistic Revolt in Modern Poetry But like every new movement, the reaction against Victorianism and romance has its extremists who seem determined, above all else, on being original, without con sidering that their changes in the artistic medium, by which they have to communicate with their audience, are too violent and sudden. It is true that an ancient Greek would be as much at a loss before the statuary of Rousseaux as before our photographs: the gulf between the art which he knew and that of modern Europe is too wide to be jumped at one bound. Nor must we forget that the idiom and inflection of the language of art changes as much as the ordinary speech of a community, and that after two thousand years it will be unintelligible to its older speakers. But though it changes, the change is gradual and in the development of art, the characteristic expression of the msthetic consciousness through the ages, we never find lacunae. Though the barbarians may have destroyed classic art and built their own out of its ruins, yet within the classical period or within the modern, between the cataclysms that blot out all traditions, the continuity of art is clear and certain.
