Book Description
Excerpt from The Poems of John Godfrey Saxe The Poet's License. The Poet's License! - Some there are Who hold the false opinion 'T is but a meagre privilege Confined to Art's dominion; The right to rhyme quite unrestrained By certain rigid fetters Which bind the colder men of prose Within the realm of letters. Ah no! - I deem 't is something more, And something vastly higher, To which the proudest bard on earth May worthily aspire. The Poet's License! - 't is the right, Within the rule of duty, To look on all delightful things Throughout the world of beauty. To gaze with rapture at the stars That in the skies are glowing; To see the gems of perfect dye That in the woods are growing, - And more than sage astronomer, And more than learned florist, To read the glorious homilies Of Firmament and Forest. When Nature gives a gorgeous rose, Or yields the simplest fern, She writes this motto on the leaves, - "To whom it may concern!" And so it is the poet comes And revels in her bowers, And, though another hold the land, Is owner of the flowers. O, nevermore let Ignorance With heedless iteration Repeat the phrase as meaning aught Of trivial estimation; The Poet's License! - 't is the fee Of earth and sky and river To him who views them royally, To have and hold forever! Treasure In Heaven. Respectfully Dedicated to George Peabody, Esq. "What I spent, I had; what I left, I lost; what I gave, I have!" Old Epitaph. I. Every coin of earthly treasure We have lavished, upon earth, For our simple worldly pleasure, May be reckoned something worth; For the spending was not losing, Though the purchase were but small; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The news is dominated by reports of inhumanity and tragedy. Things seem to go from bad to worse, and hope is hard to find. What is wrong with the world? Despite technological progress, humanity cannot overcome the senseless strife that plagues every generation. Into this world comes good news that shines so bright it turns the night sky into daylight. The good news is God news! God the Father so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son Jesus to rescue us from sin and eternal punishment. Many Christians know this good news but keep it to themselves. Yet the good news is too good to not share. Bodanza gives us an example of sharing the good news from his weekly column in a hometown newspaper. Use it to speak boldly, or give it to another to read. The gospel message is timeless and speaks to the ultimate issue of our lives.
