Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forms of English Poetry Though technical terms have been avoided as far as possible in this book, a short vocabulary of the words of this character not referred to in the index may prove helpful to the understanding of other books, in which the student may encounter them. Accent. Pronouncing a syllable with more force - slightly louder, and allowing slightly more time to the vowel sound than is given to an unaccented syllable. Alliteration. Identity of consonant sounds, usually but wrongly restricted to the Opening consonants of two words. It may refer to the similarity between the consonant sounds of syllables. Anacrusis. An unemphatic syllable preceding the regular rhythm of the verse. Frequently this syllable seems to belong to the final foot of the preceding line. See p. 36.

Book Synopsis Thousand and One Gems of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) by : Charles MacKay
Download or read book Thousand and One Gems of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) written by Charles MacKay and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thousand and One Gems of English Poetry The design of the Editor or Compiler of the following volume was to present one great panoramic view of the masterpieces of English poetry, and that of the publishers to issue it in a form and at a price which would recommend it to the taste of the rich, without placing it beyond the means of the poor. The original intention of the Editor was to commence with Chaucer and end with Wordsworth, Moore, Rogers, Hood, Campbell, and other poets of the last generation, who have recently passed from among us, thus excluding the works of living writers. To this arrangement the publishers made objection, on the ground, very easily defensible, that some of the brightest gems of the "Thousand and One" are the productions of living genius - both in Great Britain and the United States of America. The Editor yielded the point, but was met with the serious difficulty that it was not in all cases possible to include the works of living writers - even if their consent could be obtained; - firstly, because the copyrights were not always their own; - secondly, because their addresses were not obtainable without great trouble and loss of time; - and thirdly, because the modem poets, in England and America, were so numerous, that if specimens of all their poetic jewellery were got together, an undue proportion of the volume would be occupied by writers of the second half of the nineteenth century. Another difficulty which personally was more serious, existed in the dilemma in which the Editor found himself with regard to his own compositions.

Unfortunately it is also dangerous to be too clear or too persistent: and I have realised this so strongly that 1 fear to have done my beliefs less than justice. My chief feeling, in parting from the book, is one of anxiety lest I have stated them, vital and moment ous as they seem to me, in too slight a form and little of and illustration.

Book Synopsis Armenian Poems by : Alice Stone Blackwell
Download or read book Armenian Poems written by Alice Stone Blackwell and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1917 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and bountiful poetry of Armenia is presented in this collection, adeptly and sensitively translated to English to preserve the expressive beauty in the verses. Armenian poems are rich with passionate expression, sometimes voicing pride in the national culture, history and identity. Some of the poems are outright romantic; celebrating the beauty, aesthetics and emotive intensity of youthful courtship. Other verses celebrate Armenia's martial prowess; with differing cultures on multiple sides, the land often saw battle. The importance of the country's location at the border between the European and Asian continents finds allusion, as authors nod to past glories, and predict future prowess. Reference to the scenic lands of Armenia, its local dances and the way of life abound in the verse, the poetry often brimming with cultured allusions. Significantly, this anthology includes the most famed and celebrated works by the lauded national poets, together with older poetry and hymns dating back as far as the early-Medieval era. The reader thus acquires an acute impression of how Armenian poetic works evolved through the centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Songs, and Other Small Poems "Barry Cornwall, with the exception of Coleridge, is the most genuine poet of love, who has, for a long period, appeared among us. There is an intense and passionate beauty, a depth of affection, in his little dramatic poems, which appear even in the affectionate triflings of his gentle characters. He illustrates that holiest of human emotions, which, while it will twine itself with the frailest twig, or dally with the most evanescent shadow of creation, wasting its excess of kindliness on all around it, is yet able to 'look on tempests and be never shaken.' Love is gently omnipotent in his poems; accident and death itself are but passing clouds, which scarcely vex and which cannot harm it. The lover seems to breathe out his life in the arms of his mistress, as calmly as the infant sinks into its softest slumber. The fair blossoms of his genius, though light and trembling at the breeze, spring from a wide, and deep, and robust stock, which will sustain far taller branches without being exhausted."

Download or read book Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 6 written by Henry Van Dyke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 6: Elegies and Hymns In the usage of the people, however, the word has taken a different course. It does not include the poetry of regret for fugitive pleasure or un requited love, nor all the forms of verse in which the poet, to follow Coleridge's phrase, treats of his subject always and exclusively with reference to himself. These are classed with the pure lyrics, or with reflective verse. But an elegy, in common parlance, has come to mean a poem dealing with the thought or the fact of death. It is not an outward, metrical shape: it is an in ward, spiritual form. It is the poetic utterance of the heart of man when he faces the sorrow of mortality. It is the voice in which he answers death and calls after the departed. It is the music with which he at once expresses and soothes the grief of the last farewell, pays tribute to vanished goodness and the memory of noble names, and encourages his own spirit to meet the end that comes to all, with fortitude and an equal mind.

Book Synopsis A Book of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) by : George Beaumont
Download or read book A Book of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) written by George Beaumont and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of English Poetry This book has been made in response to the wishes of teachers who need a collection of English prose and poetry in a single volume and who desire to have the selections provided with notes. It contains no selection not included in its predecessors, English Poetry (1170-1892) and English Prose (1137-1890). The condensation of the two volumes has been made with care, and it is believed that no selection has been omitted which is necessary in a rapid survey course. For the texts previous to Chaucer translations have been made and printed side by side with the texts. These translations of course have not all the qualities of the originals, but an attempt has been made to preserve not only the metrical form but also the tone and general manner. Where the original had poor rhymes, or loose syntax, or undignified diction, such features have been permitted in the translation, though it was not always possible to reproduce each at the exact point of its appearance. The effort to preserve the tone of the original has often rendered the task of translation or paraphrase difficult because of the necessity of excluding ideas and sentiments foreign to the original as well as diction out of harmony with it. The briefer and simpler notes are placed on the same page with the text, because the editor feels that turning frequently to the back of a book to consult notes or a glossary disturbs the readers enjoyment and thereby interferes with, if it does not destroy, the effect of a piece of literature. The more elaborate notes, containing general information about the texts or authors, or discussing difficulties, or quoting interesting parallels, are placed at the end of the volume for the same reason - that is, to avoid interference with the enjoyment of the reader while he is engaged in reading. They may be consulted beforehand, in preparation for reading, or later, in explanation of difficulties that have not been solved- by the reader himself. In the case of a few poems, the no.tes are purposely elaborate, because the poems themselves are either especially difficult, or especially suggestive in diction, or especially loaded with allusions; but in general the editor has striven to keep the annotations down to a practical minimum. That he has not always succeeded in this effort, he is only too well aware. There are many of the notes which he himself would disregard in reading and in teaching. But no one has yet discovered exactly what number of grains of sand makes a heap, and the present editor has not even been able to maintain strict consistency in regard to what knowledge may safely be assumed as possessed by students or easily accessible to them. Every student of English should possess a copy of Webster's Secondary School Dictionary or the Standard Desk Dictionary.

Book Synopsis Shorter English Poems (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Morley
Download or read book Shorter English Poems (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Morley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shorter English Poems We propose also to supplement the plan already sketched by giving a section to our longer poems and another to our longer prose works. In reproducing these it will become unavoidable that parts should represent the whole; but each will be so described that whatever passages are given may be read with knowledge of their context and of their relation to the main design. These volumes will gain much by rigid avoidance of disconnected extracts. A mere book of cuttings out of finished pieces is handiwork like that of the degenerate courtiers of the days of Louis XV., who snipped single figures from engravings of the works of the best masters, and stuck them confusedly on screens. Every true work of art has its own point of unity, and blends its harmonies into a perfect round. No healthy sense of Literature can be acquired, and where any exists it can only be stupefied, by the use of elegant extracts. A fair selection from its riches ought to bring a large and happy sense of the true meaning of mu Literature home into many a room where books must needs be few, and ought to make the wit and wisdom of our country pleasant to young and old wherever English books are read. If sometimes a good work contains a word or passage that, through change of manners, could not now be read aloud in every household, I remove the stumbling-block. But wherever change is made, square brackets or notes show the extent of it. In giving pieces of our early Literature, writers before the Conquest will be represented by translation. In what was written after that time, spelling of words still current will be brought into agreement with the present usage, whenever that can be done without injury to rhyme, metre, or sense; and many notes will help the interpretation of the words now obsolete. The notes may contain any kind of information or suggestion that will quicken the enjoyment of the work they illustrate. Now and then some short pieces of old English will be left just as we receive them from our forefathers, and this will be done at intervals frequent enough to make them serviceable to those who care to get what help they can to a closer knowledge of our language. The best use of the study of language is to develop our perception of the finer charms of thought, and if it should be the good fortune of this Library to be well thumbed in many homes, the quiet hours will come when one and another reader will be disposed to get all possible help from notes that were at first passed over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poetry and Poets N the hope that a work undertaken Without the remotest View to publication, but for the com paratively ephemeral purpose of imparting oral in formation and entertainment, may prove permanently valuable, I commit to print the result of much delightful reading, with some loving and earnest (though far from scholarly) original criticism. In my eager and various reading I quoted and transposed - for the benefit of my classes in English Poetry - from many authors. It did not then seem necessary to retain in memory all the sources of my information; consequently I cannot now duly accredit some of my borrowings. In a work like this, such an Offence may, I trust, be forgiven. Where much learned and able work has been done by my betters, I have not hoped to excel; but if I may help to foster a love and appreciation of the good and true in English verse, I shall have attained to my highest end and ambition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lyrics: A Collection of English Poetry of the Present Day And in these days of hurry and excitement, when men's powers and energies are taxed to the uttermost in the various callings they pursue, and when comparatively few have time or even inclination to enter on a long and systematic study of English Poetry for themselves, it can hardly be a useless or unimportant task to gather together, within the compass of a single volume, choice gems of Thought and of Expression, which may serve to gladden many a weary hour, and suggest ideas of Beauty and of Truth. The special feature of the Collection now offered to the reader consists in the fact that a large number of the Poems appear for the first time in print, while the rest, so far as I know, have never as yet found a place in any other volume, excepting the Authors' own publications, from which they have, by kind permission, been extracted.
