The Voice of the Valley (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Voice of the Valley Ever since my first visit to the Yosem 1te Valley, nearly thirty years ago, I have believed that no verbal description can give the reader an adequate idea of its marvelous and manifold features; that the ordinary forms of verse cannot com pass it; that at most the poet can only suggest; and that, after all, the mere suggestion is sufficient - the imagination supplying what is lacking in form, color, and detail. But the suggestion must be offered by one singularly gifted, and pos sessed of a temperament as picturesque, as variable, as unique as the Valley itself.m5.

A Book of Cambridge Verse (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

The Voice of the South (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Voice of the South Another scene, too, connected inseparably with that radiant afternoon returned to me. Standing in the river-bed of the oued-biskra with my back towards the desert I had looked northwards. Among the boulders that mirrored themselves in the stream were two Arab boys. Overhead, a palm-tree bent above the water and gazed at itself in the little pools that lay arrested among the rocks. In the background the scene opened, not with the sheer abruptness, the brusque violence, of the cleft as seen from el-kantara, but with. A gentle suavity of introduction, leading the eye along shining water-ways, between lines of palms, onwards, up wards, to where, in the blue of the distance, the hills slept in a mantle of sunbeams. Slowly we left Biskra behind us. Life was beginning to awake in the drowsy streets - a dog crept from under a clump of aloes, a child watched us from behind a cactus hedge - while overhead in the clear spaces of the sky a band of swallows wheeled ceaselessly.

The Voice in the Rice (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Voice in the Rice The night came on monstrously rough and Windy, but clear. I remem ber how when the S. S. Major Pickins rolled, the stars flew past my port like streams of sparks from the smokestack of a locomotive. You weren't safe in your berth, or out of it. We had on board a number of horses, with their grooms, bound for New York from various Winter resorts in the South, and during a particularly violent lurch of the vessel one of these poor beasts fell and splintered its leg, and could be heard screaming with the pain, like a lost soul, until mercifully put to death. The passengers were mostly servants of Northern families, and whether they were more sick than fright ened, or more frightened than Sick, was a question for a more experienced seafarer than myself.

The Voice, Vol. 2


Book Description

Excerpt from The Voice, Vol. 2: April, 1930 I can't learn history unless I'm allowed to ask ques tions - not with Dr. Benson; he's exactly like a rambler rose - without the rose. April 23: Happiness is not what happens to one; it is what is inside of one. And the way it gets there is to give it to somebody else. You can give it to other people even if you don't have it yourself. April 29: Today was beautiful, I thought, and so did everybody else. I love weather. I never call it a trite subject any more. I didn't feel very well today, so lay down a long time and thought and thought and thought, and watched the birds fly 'round and 'round in the blue sky. I wanted to write a poem, - but I didn't. May 7: Miss Pem is one of the most intelligent women I know. She called on me to read because I wasn't paying attention, and then only let me read three words after I'd found the p1ace. Very humbling experience.) May 9: It was pouring rain when I woke up this morn ing - simply torrents. But I didn't mind very much 'cause I don't usually mind anything. Lots of things happened today; they always do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
