Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pagan's Poems VIII When with his royal mates in chase, If winning, he would see Keen disappointment on a face, He'd let them reach the tree. Or, if he joined the hunter's band In chase thro' woods unpathed His steed'd weary, he'd pause and Let the deer pass unscathed. IX AS Prince Gautama grew in years Compassion did increase Yet he knew naught of sorrow's tears, Thus far his life was peace. But in a smiling garden by, He walked in solemn mood, And by the sadness of his eye Spake him the honored Buddh. Once, as he strolled among the flowers, Plucking the fair and sweet, A swan dropped thro' the locust bowers Stunned - bleeding at his feet. He saw the crimson stain the white, The arrow in its breast, He seized the bird, soothed its sad fright Withdrew the pointed pest.

Join it at Streatley, the point where it crosses the Thames; at once it strikes you out and away from the habi table world in a splendid, purposeful manner, running along the highest ridge of the Downs a broad green ribbon of turf, with but a shade of difference from the neighbouring grass, yet distinct for all that. NO villages nor homesteads tempt it aside or modify its course for a yard; should you lose the track where it is blent.

Book Synopsis Parthenia by : Eliza Buckminster Lee
Download or read book Parthenia written by Eliza Buckminster Lee and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parthenia: Or, the Last Days of Paganism The period at which the events represented in the following pages occurred, or (as in one or more exceptions) are imagined to have occurred, was the middle of the fourth century; - the time when Paganism and Christianity were nearly balanced in their earthly forces; when a Christianized Paganism and a Paganized Christianity would naturally array themselves against each other. This was the time for a leading mind to appear as the vindicator or restorer of the old religion. Julian, the person who enjoyed this unenviable distinction, received his early education under Christian influences. The causes of his subsequent opposition to Christianity may be easily found in the character of his cousin, the reigning Emperor, - who was a fanatical Christian, and also his deadliest enemy, - and in the influences afterwards affecting him.

Download or read book Pure Pagan written by Burton Raffel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we learn a great deal about ancient Greece from writers like Homer, Aristophanes, and Sappho, Raffel goes on to say, our picture is sadly incomplete until we read the poetry of such lesser-known greats as Alkaios, Callimachos, and Simonides.
Download or read book Pure Pagan written by and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For there is indeed something we can call the spirit of ancient Greece–a carefully tuned voice that speaks out of the grave with astonishing clarity and grace , a distinctive voice that, taken as a whole, is like no other voice that has ever sung on this earth.” –BURTON RAFFEL, from his Preface For centuries, the poetry of Homer, Aristophanes, Sophocles, Sappho, and Archilochus has served as one of our primary means of connecting with the wholly vanished world of ancient Greece. But the works of numerous other great and prolific poets–Alkaios, Meleager, and Simonides, to name a few–are rarely translated into English , and are largely unknown to modern readers. In Pure Pagan, award-winning translator Burton Raffel brings these and many other wise and witty ancient Greek writers to an English-speaking audience for the first time, in full poetic flower. Their humorous and philosophical ruminations create a vivid portrait of everyday life in ancient Greece –and they are phenomenally lovely as well. In short, sharp bursts of song, these two-thousand-year-old poems speak about the timeless matters of everyday life: Wine (Wine is the medicine / To call for, the best medicine / To drink deep, deep) History (Not us: no. / It began with our fathers, / I’ve heard). Movers and shakers (If a man shakes loose stones / To make a wall with / Stones may fall on his head / Instead) Old age (Old age is a debt we like to be owed / Not one we like to collect) Frankness (Speak / As you please / And hear what can never / Please). There are also wonderful epigrams (Take what you have while you have it: you’ll lose it soon enough. / A single summer turns a kid into a shaggy goat) and epitaphs (Here I lie, beneath this stone, the famous woman who untied her belt for only one man). The entrancing beauty, humor, and piercing clarity of these poems will draw readers into the Greeks’ journeys to foreign lands, their bacchanalian parties and ferocious battles, as well as into the more intimate settings of their kitchens and bedrooms. The poetry of Pure Pagan reveals the ancient Greeks’ dreams, their sense of humor, sorrows, triumphs, and their most deeply held values, fleshing out our understanding of and appreciation for this fascinating civilization and its artistic legacy.
