Book Description
Excerpt from The Handbook of Quotations: Gleanings From the English and American Fields of Poetic Literature The value of quotations consists in their appositeness and their convenience. As the crystallized thought of great minds they are often needed to give authority to an idea, or to adorn it. Unless, however, they apply precisely their effect may be wide of the mark; and unless they may readily be found they are as useless as unmined gold. This handbook gives over fourteen hundred quotations from English and American poetry of the highest grade, and contains many of the finest lines of Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Moore, Young, Cowper, Dryden, and Byron, and others of their times, together with those of Tennyson, Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Long fellow, Lowell, Whittier, Emerson, and other modern poets. One hundred sixty-five authors are quoted, and the lines of each may be found by consulting the Index of Authors.

Book Description
Excerpt from Gleanings From the Poets: For Home and School It is with this design of presenting beauty, both moral and natural, in its manifold shapes, as it is shown to us in the universe, that the present collection has been made. The pieces chosen are, with very few exceptions, entire, because passages are always injured by being taken from their connection, and because young persons like to know the whole of a thing. They are short, and selected from the whole range of English and American standard au thors it being thought better to offer sentiments as they arise in a great variety of minds, and mould themselves into gentle verse. They are not exclusively of one school or time, - for beauty is not to be prisoned. The artist finds it not complete in one model, but studies it in all its appearances, and then, though he paint but one face or one landscape, he gives us the wealth of a world. In matters of taste and genius we should not limit our children we should rather rejoice that their larger souls perceive a beauty where ours find none. We must not say, The trees of the forest may be beautiful, but I first learned beauty from my stately poplars, and they must satisfy my children. Nor should we reject the flora of a new world, because rumor says that Eden also has its weeds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
