Excerpt from Love's Argument and Other Poems Love's Argument As it fell on a day That a traveller grey Was trudging along life's road, Who should chance to come by And his plight to espy But Love 'neath his archer's load? Whilst the wanderer gazed At the vision, amazed And doubtful if it were true; 'You are weary and sad, ' Quoth the radiant lad; 'Pray what can I do for you?' 'You go on your way, ' Sighed the traveller grey; 'For oft have I heard it told (And with singular truth) That love sojourns with youth, And cannot abide the old.' With a mischievous smile That was brimful of guile, 'That saying, ' quoth Love, 'is true: Your adorable She, Whosoever she be, Will always seem young to you.'

Beautiful & Pointless
Author: David OrrPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062079417
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
"David Orr is no starry-eyed cheerleader for contemporary poetry; Orr’s a critic, and a good one. . . . Beautiful & Pointless is a clear-eyed, opinionated, and idiosyncratic guide to a vibrant but endangered art form, essential reading for anyone who loves poetry, and also for those of us who mostly just admire it from afar." —Tom Perrotta Award-winning New York Times Book Review poetry columnist David Orr delivers an engaging, amusing, and stimulating tour through the world of poetry. With echoes of Francine Prose’s Reading Like a Writer, Orr’s Beautiful & Pointless offers a smart and funny approach to appreciating an art form that many find difficult to embrace.
Love-Bound and Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 200
Book Description
Excerpt from Love-Bound and Other Poems Poetry is, among other things, the universal expression of individual emotion. This gives verse its importance and its audacity. There is a sense in which each essay in verse challenges all the past, and enters the list with the great of all time. But there comes a season, both early and late, in all tongues, when verse is common to all. Once early, when speech is still fluid, in the days of the ballad, and once late, as in our own day, when the field of verse is once more open to all, because the seeds of rhyme have been sown in every soul.

Book Description
Excerpt from Love and Jealousy: Europa, and Other Poems Love and Jealousy, is partly an imitation of Ariosto. The first canto, however, with the excep tion of the bare outline of the story, is entirely new; and although in the second canto the great Italian has been more largely borrowed from, yet even there, owing to the fragmentary nature of the com position, the original tale has been considerably altered.

Excerpt from Love, and Other Poems So thou canst fill each heart, though differing wide f No one can strike the strings Of Poetry's harp, And draw from it the true depths of its soul, Until by thee, 0 Love, he is inspired!

Jimmy Stewart and His Poems

Pages :
Book Description
"I'm sure I never said to myself: 'Now, Jim--why don't you sit down and write a poem.' It's still a mystery to me, but I think probably it's something that happened by accident--like a lot of things have happened in my life." So begins this delightful collection of poetry by America's best-loved actor, Jimmy Stewart. Interspersed with vivid recollections and charming illustrations, the poems document a life that isn't too different from yours or mine. Jimmy Stewart won the hearts of generations of movie viewers with a confused innocence and stammering delivery that made his acting seem genuine and effortless. Somehow he managed to make the boy next door into a national hero. Now, in Jimmy Stewart and His Poems, the consummate Everyman shares tales from his everyday life. From fishing trips and dog stories to a hilarious account of a photo safari where the camera was lost to a hungry hyena, the poems are related in Jimmy Stewart's inimitable voice and are enlivened with charming illustrations. The book confirms what we all expected--that the real Jimmy Stewart is every bit as endearing as the film characters he's portrayed. Jimmy Stewart and His Poems is a perfect gift, one that fans will treasure as much as Jimmy Stewart's timeless performances.
