Old Times by E. A. Crewson Pdf

Excerpt from Old Times: A Collection of Poems S I sit by the stove, all polished and nickeled, Where a carpet of velvet covers the floor, I reckon I ought to feel wonderfully tickled While the wind thumps and bangs at the door; Yes, ought to feel glad - so much to admire, But it all will not cure a longing desire A fellow will have for the old hickory fire; With its curling and snapping, And its whirling and lapping; That good old fashioned hickory wood fire. Their anthracite coal don't have any snap; No bright burning flame up the flue rolls; I can't help missing the sweet hickory sap Frying out of the fore-stick over the coals; These new fangled fires are all very well, But one thing I miss, and its easy to tell 'tis the good old fashioned hickory wood smell; That old rustic perfume Which filled up the room; That good old fashioned hickory wood smell. How often we'd sit by that wide open fire, The wild winds howling and roaring outside; The bright hickory flames mounting up higher, Beaming on linsey-woolsey close to our side. Yes, thoughts of it oft' my memory will throng As I dream how, with apples and cider and song, We'd while away evenings that never seemed long; And when the fire burned low, How it would tell of the snow In the old winter evenings that never seemed long. You can take your coal and your natural gas, Which the tastes of to-day are made to desire; The bright burnished stove in its nickel and brass, But give me the old fashioned hickory wood fire; Where, with apples and walnuts, before it we'd sit, While father would doze and mother would knit, And the flames would snap and sparkle and spit; But the fire burned low In the long, long ago, And the ashes of years lie forever on it.

Poetry and Fiction by Howard Nemerov Pdf

Excerpt from Poetry and Fiction: Essays Criticism, in whatever fancy dress, however, remains an art of opinion, and though the Opinion should be supported by evidence, even that relation is a questionable one. Criticism is not knowledge, but neither ought it to be mystique, even if the sources of our opinions, and the in uence of fashion upon these, are mysterious subjects. Whether the writings in this book succeed as criticism is not for me to say, but perhaps it is fair for me to set forth brie y a few of the objects I tried to keep in mind. Critical method. To try not to have one. Or to have, at the most, two simple precepts: read what is in the poem; do not read what is not in the poem. To give evidence for assertions, so that the reader may have a way of knowing when his author has gone badly wrong.

How to Write Poetry (Classic Reprint) by Ethel Maude Colson Pdf

Excerpt from How to Write Poetry It is assumed that those sufficiently interested in the writing of poetry to read books about it already are acquainted with the little that may be known of the laws of English prosody or at least know how and where to find them. And those who desire to follow far the keen study of poetic production are commended to such admirable works as Max Eastman's sympathetic treatise on The Enjoyment of Poetry, C. E. Andrews enlightening and comprehensive volume, T he Reading and Writing of Verse, Marguerite Wilkinson's The New Voices, An Introduction to Can temporary Poetry; and The New Era in American Poetry, by Louis Untermeyer. Each of these books, especially, perhaps, that of Professor Andrews, will help the seri ous, poetic student to much that he ought to know.

Excerpt from A Poet's Anthology of Poems These words deserve the attention which their author evidently (for he repeats them elsewhere) desired them to have They deserve it because they embody a response to a question which has never been directly answered, and perhaps never will be answered in the fixed form of a definition, the old question - What is poetry?

Kathleen Mansfield Murry (1888–1923) was a prominent New Zealand modernist short story writer who wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. At 19, Mansfield left New Zealand and settled in the United Kingdom, where she became a friend of modernist writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. Like Woolf, Mansfield was also interested in the feelings and thoughts of her characters rather than plot development and hence her short stories show the complexities of a character's in

Popular Poems (Classic Reprint) by Fred A. Campbell Pdf

Excerpt from Popular Poems We can only have one mother, Patient, kind and true, No other friend in all this world Will be so true to you F or all her loving kindness She asks nothing in return; If all the world desert you, To mother you can turn. Many tears you've caused her When you were sad or ill, Maybe many sleepless nights, Tho' grown, you cause her still. 50 every time you leave her, Or when e'er you come or go Give her a kind word and a kiss, Tis what she craves I know. V1 We can only have one mother, None else can take her place; You can't tell how you'll need her, Till you miss her loving face. Be careful how you answer her, Choose every word you say, Remember she's your mother, Tho' now she's old and gray. We can only have one mother, 0, take her to your heart; You cannot tell how soon the time When you and she must part. Let her know you love her dearly Cheer and comfort her each day, You can never get another, When she has passed away.

Eros and Other Poems (Classic Reprint) by Theodore Dwight Woolsey Pdf

Excerpt from Eros and Other Poems As one who, strolling on some autumn day Through woods with summer's life no longer crowned, Gathers the treasures fallen from many a spray, And shows his friends the choicest he has found; So, little book, do I, in life's decay, And seeing close at hand its wintry bound, Bid thee, with silent footstep go around To those that know me best, and whispering say: "These leaves, long pressed within the book of years, From which the colors may not quite have fled, Seek private audience from kindly ears, To tell what thoughts my summer hours once fed Receive them with mild silence; scorn them not; Let him that sends them be not quite forgot."

Readings on Poetry (Classic Reprint) by Richard Lovell Edgeworth Pdf

Excerpt from Readings on Poetry Was not understood for want of a clear idea of the meaning of the word en gross. From similar causes several 'other lines were unintelligible, and the construction of interrogatory and exc clamatory sentences were but imper 'fectly comprehended. It is possible that other children of the same age may not in this particular instance, find the same, or find any difficulties, but we are inclined to believe that upon a fair examination it would be found, that among the hundreds of lines of poetry which young people generally have learned by rote, not one half of the number is perfectly, or even imperfectly understood by the fluent little reciters.
