Book Description
Excerpt from The Spires of Oxford and Other Poems To you who see The world with me I give this book. If you in courtesy should look With favour on its pages claim The title deed and write your name Here on this page. To you who know The glamour of the passing show, Sublime and sordid, trivial, great, But life, - this book I dedicate. As casual lookers-on we meet Here at some corner of the street. It's good to know you see it too, Smile, sigh and wonder when I do; That you discern the crooked jest Of contrast 'twixt our worst and best, Humour is ever friendship's test. I like to know you hear the call Of all things sad, neglected, small; Thrill to the magic of the wind, Love country, town and your own kind, Sinners and saints and sea and sky Just as they are, for so do I. Then let this book I fain would mend Be yours, my friend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
There has always been a healthy interest in mysticism in the British Isles. In the early 20th century, the hunger for mystical experience, history, and instruction had hit an all-time high, with the release of Evelyn Underhill's Mysticism, and many other books on the subject. An anthology of English verse of a mystical bent seemed a natural addition to the stacks. Nicholson and Lee's collection, first published by Oxford University Press in 1917, is considered a classic statement of mystical sentiment of the time. The editors do not profess to define mysticism, let alone understand it. Instead, they have simply compiled the best examples of mystical English poetry in one place. It is not the first such col- lection, but it is, to this day, one of the most well respected. Long out of print, The Apocryphile Press is pleased to reprint the 1917 Oxford University Press edition.

Book Description
The First World War produced an extraordinary flowering of poetic talent, poets whose words commemorate the conflict more personally and as enduringly as monuments in stone. Lines such as 'What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?' and 'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old' have come to express the feelings of a nation about the horrors and aftermath of war. This new anthology provides a definitive record of the achievements of the Great War poets. As well as offering generous selections from the celebrated soldier-poets, including Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Rupert Brooke, and Ivor Gurney, it also incorporates less well-known writing by civilian and women poets. Music hall and trench songs provide a further lyrical perspective on the War. A general introduction charts the history of the war poets' reception and challenges prevailing myths about the war poets' progress from idealism to bitterness. The work of each poet is prefaced with a biographical account that sets the poems in their historical context. Although the War has now passed out of living memory, its haunting of our language and culture has not been exorcised. Its poetry survives because it continues to speak to and about us.
