The Home Book of Verse - Volume 3 by Burton Egbert Stevenson Pdf
The Home Book of Verse - Volume 3By Burton Egbert StevensonPOEMS OF NATURE The world is too much with us; late and soon,Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:Little we see in Nature that is ours;We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!This sea that bares her bosom to the moon,The winds that will be howling at all hours,And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;For this, for everything, we are out of tune;It moves us not.-Great God! I'd rather beA Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. William Wordsworth [1770-1850]MOTHER NATURETHE BOOK OF THE WORLD Of this fair volume which we World do name,If we the sheets and leaves could turn with care,Of him who it corrects, and did it frame,We clear might read the art and wisdom rare;Find out his power which wildest powers doth tame,His providence extending everywhere,His justice which proud rebels doth not spare,In every page, no, period of the same.But silly we, like foolish children, restWell pleased with colored vellum, leaves of gold,Fair dangling ribbons, leaving what is best,On the great Writer's sense ne'er taking hold;Or, if by chance we stay our minds on aught,It is some picture on the margin wrought. William Drummond [1585-1649]NATURE The bubbling brook doth leap when I come by,Because my feet find measure with its call;The birds know when the friend they love is nigh,For I am known to them, both great and small.The flower that on the lonely hillside growsExpects me there when spring its bloom has given;And many a tree and bush my wanderings knows,And e'en the clouds and silent stars of heaven;For he who with his Maker walks aright,Shall be their lord as Adam was before;His ear shall catch each sound with new delight,Each object wear the dress that then it wore;And he, as when erect in soul he stood,Hear from his Father's lips that all is good. Jones Very [1813-1880]COMPENSATION In that new world toward which our feet are set,Shall we find aught to make our hearts forgetEarth's homely joys and her bright hours of bliss?Has heaven a spell divine enough for this?For who the pleasure of the spring shall tellWhen on the leafless stalk the brown buds swell,When the grass brightens and the days grow long,And little birds break out in rippling song? O sweet the dropping eve, the blush of morn,The starlit sky, the rustling fields of corn,The soft airs blowing from the freshening seas,The sunflecked shadow of the stately trees,The mellow thunder and the lulling rain,The warm, delicious, happy summer rain,When the grass brightens and the days grow long,And little birds break out in rippling song!

The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Volume 3: The Restoration and the Eighteenth Century - Second Edition by Joseph Black,Leonard Conolly,Kate Flint,Isobel Grundy,Don LePan,Roy Liuzza,Jerome McGann,Anne Lake Prescott,Barry Qualls,Claire Waters Pdf
In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. For the second edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Henry Fielding’s Tragedy of Tragedies has been added, as has a new section of material from eighteenth-century periodicals. A new Contexts section entitled “Transatlantic Currents” includes writings by such figures as Paine, Franklin, and Price, as well as material on the slave trade. The Contexts sections on “Town and Country” and on “Mind and God, Faith and Science” have also been expanded; a variety of writings on the Royal Society and other scientific matters have been added to the latter. Additional chapters from Equiano’s Interesting Narrative have been added, and there are new selections by Samuel Johnson (including his “Letter to Lord Chesterfield” and facsimile pages from the Dictionary). Book 3 from Gulliver’s Travels has been added; that work now appears in its entirety. There are also additional selections by Pope, Pepys, and Astell. The Castle of Otranto and The Witlings have been moved from the bound book to the website component of the anthology. (Both are available as volumes in the Broadview Editions series, and may be added at a very modest additional cost in a shrink-wrapped combination package.)
An investigation into the evolution of the seven-day week and how our attachment to its rhythms influences how we live We take the seven-day week for granted, rarely asking what anchors it or what it does to us. Yet weeks are not dictated by the natural order. They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world. With meticulous archival research that draws on a wide array of sources—including newspapers, restaurant menus, theater schedules, marriage records, school curricula, folklore, housekeeping guides, courtroom testimony, and diaries—David Henkin reveals how our current devotion to weekly rhythms emerged in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. Reconstructing how weekly patterns insinuated themselves into the social practices and mental habits of Americans, Henkin argues that the week is more than just a regimen of rest days or breaks from work, but a dominant organizational principle of modern society. Ultimately, the seven-day week shapes our understanding and experience of time.
