Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-World Essays Mr. Stephen Graham, in his book on the Russian pilgrimage to Jerusalem, quotes a very interesting example of what we may call the peasant folk-lore of Christendom. On Easter Day an old man who had made the pilgrimage with him from the heart of Russia said to Mr. Graham: - '"Christ is risen, and it is Easter, but not like the Easter when He rose. How the sun blazes! All Jerusalem is dry and will remain dry, but then it was fresh, and there was rain, such rain! You know there came a fruitful year after His death. No one had known such a summer. Everything seemed to yield double or treble increase, and there was a freshness which seemed to promise impossible things."' 'The old man spoke of it, ' Mr. Graham adds, 'as a well-known fact as vividly remembered as if it had happened yesterday.' To a corporate faith and love indeed two thousand years is but a very little time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard Essays on Classical Subjects Such unity as these Essays aim to secure is of necessity the larger unity of sympathetic interpretation of certain aspects of the life and thought of classical antiquity. Nor was a closer coherence desirable if the truest independence of the contributors was to be preserved. Two of the Essays touch at a common point, though but for a moment; and this coincidence was not to be avoided, as it is not to be deprecated, since asceticism with its passion to subdue the turbulent senses, is inevitably linked with the yearning after immortality which possessed some of the most earnest minds of the ancient world. Regard for a more intimate association of parts might have made a book of essays on things Greek or on things Roman. But the less severe unity of the present volume is designed to bear witness, however inadequately, to the Harvard conviction that, for the purpose for which the ancient classics have their permanent and inalienable value, the literature and art of Greece and the literature and art of Rome are so intimately bound together that they may not suffer divorcement. We are all of us Greeks, we are all Romans. The Greeks are the creators of the one original literature of Europe.

But Professor Win chester's students will remember how the work in the class room led up to finished summary lectures. They developed out of the rich autumn mould of his acquisitions, year after year,1 and showed us best of all how thorough and thought ful study had enabled him to see into the life of things. In these talks to students lay the origins of the public lec tures which charmed and enlightened a far more widely ranging audience. Even the latter, Professor Winchester rarely published. Therefore certain typical examples, rep resentative both of his power as a teacher and his appeal as a lecturer, it has now seemed best to give to the world. Art, once wrote their author, is. The only way the indi vidual has of perpetuating his personality. In this way these papers are not alone of intrinsic value but fitly memorial.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Ancient Modern Learning and on Poetry Temple's fame has waned since the days when the essays here reprinted were Pope's favourite prose; but these still maintain their historical importance, for they represent a turning point in the development of English style, and in them something of the tone and temper of the eighteenth-century essay are already apparent. Goldsmith need not have told us that Temple's style was 'the model by which the best prose writers in the reign of Queen Anne formed theirs', nor Swift that Temple 'advanced our English tongue to as great perfection as it can well bear'; to read aloud a single essay is to discover for oneself this forgotten secret. Johnson suggested to Boswell at least one of the causes of this reforming power: 'Sir William Temple was the first writer who gave cadence to English prose. Before his time they were careless of arrangement, and did not mind whether a sentence ended with an important word or an insignificant word, or with what part of speech it was concluded.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classical Studies: Essays on Ancient Literature and Art Ancient Literature But the Greek and Roman classics stand at the beginning and at the source of European culture. Nothing can displace them. Homer is the fountain-head of all European poetry and art. There he stands, venerable with nearly thirty centuries, touching his heroic harp to strains of unsurpassed, nay, unapproachable excellence and grandeur. All the features of a great heroic age, -the chivalry of the classical world, - from which European civilization dates, and political and domestic order take their rise, - stand forth in living reality, in his immortal pictures. There he stands, radiant with the beams of the early Grecian morning, as jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain Who is to drive him from his station there! And how, then, is Homer to pass from the memory and the hearts of men? Impossible. It is not a question to be decided by a few petty and short-sighted utilitarian views. Homer's reign is firmly established over the literary world, and if any nation should ever become so barbarous as to banish him from their schools, the penalty and disgrace would be their own. The language of Homer, as a picturesque, melodious, and enchanting instrument of thought, has never been surpassed. Now these great ancients have been, time out of mind, the teachers of the civilized world. They form a common bond, which unites the cultivated minds Of all nations and ages together. He who cuts himself off from the classics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Selections from one of the greatest essayists of the Graeco-Roman world Plutarch used an encyclopedic knowledge of the Roman Empire to produce a compelling and individual voice. In this superb selection from his writings, he offers personal insights into moral subjects that include the virtue of listening, the danger of flattery and the avoidance of anger, alongside more speculative essays on themes as diverse as God's slowness to punish man, the use of reason by supposedly "irrational" animals and the death of his own daughter. Brilliantly informed, these essays offer a treasure-trove of ancient wisdom, myth and philosophy, and a powerful insight into a deeply intelligent man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Essays Every form of literature has its appropriate time and use, and a philosophical study appears to show that each form reaches a culmination at some stage of a nation's history or in the history of the world. When the stage of progress which called it forth is gone by it is hardly possible for future writers to surpass that form of literature in which a nation or an era found its true expression. There is much of falsehood in the apparent truism "history repeats itself," for there are senses in which the world's history is a series of completions. The truth of this may be best realized in regard to other forms of art than the literary, because the spoken and written language which is its medium is more evidently a living growth. The twentieth century will turn back beyond the present era for its greatest models in sculpture; to the fourteenth century for its models in architecture; to the fifteenth for painting; and to the eighteenth for music. Each of these arts has a variety of forms, and each form has its own completion. Egypt and the Orient possessed the greatest temples, the noblest palaces, and the grandest tombs; but whether the expression was that of pre-Christian or Christian civilization, when the culmination of the ideal toward which each was tending was reached, progress in that special path was ended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Post Liminium: Essays and Critical Papers Lionel Johnson belonged to an English literary group of meteoric brilliancy, over many of whom hung a singularly tragic fate. In the matter of art, his, the most reticent and the most sensitive expres sion among them, was also, beyond all doubt, the soundest and the most robust. Mr. Yeats, his fellow worker, alludes to the loneliness and gravity of his mind, its air of high lineage. This is an accurate observation. The young critic's every utterance is remarkable for its individual native balance; its fear lessness; its patience and courtesy under stress its unfailing mental hospitality; its sweet old-fashioned scholarship, full of ease and pleasantness, and quiet mirth; for what he himself calls in another an almost Latin clearness and weight: the charming, arresting word of one who lives chieﬂy in the spirit. Above the fogs of human prejudice, with the best that has been thought and said in the world. He was a very great loss to a hurried generation which did not fail altogether to appreciate him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Optimist and Other Essays I Sat before the open fire last night - the eve of this high day - and half-way dreamed again The Story. Among the resting hills of old Judea were the flocks sleep-folded, and under the trees the shepherds guarded them. The little town of the House of Bread was sleeping, too, save in a stable, where a woman lay, and near her a strong man keeping watch. Away to the west Rome slumbered in her glory, and further on beyond the uncoursed seas the dream and hope of future times lay yet unknown. All was quiet and very peaceful in Bethlehem. Then came the first faint cry of one new-born, and that triumphant burst of song from out the skies, and the Wise Men bending low before the Manger, and then the long line of fruitful years which brings us to the present. The lesson of that first Christmas needs no retelling, for it repeats itself on each successive dawning of the day. The story of how that Manger was the first throne of the King of Kings can be made no more impressive than is its own simple record.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among English Hedgerows Irving's Sketch Book was one of the first success ful essays made on this continent in the field of litera ture, and its charm lay quite as much in its choice of themes as in its felicity of style. The new country had cut the political ties which united it with the old country, and was on the point of asserting its intel lectual independence. Emerson's striking address on The American Scholar, which Dr. Holmes has very happily called our declaration of intellectual inde pendence, was not delivered until 1832; but that independence was really achieved by Irving, Bryant, and Cooper more than a decade earlier. The new nation began then to turn its gaze away from Europe toward its own future; but in thus formally assert ing its right to live by its own insight and for its own aims, it was severing neither the racial nor the spiritual ties which bound it to the mother country; in assum ing the privileges of an independent career, it was put ting itself in position to enjoy and love the older world in a nobler fashion.
