  • The Life and Death of Richard Yea-And-Nay
    The Life and Death of Richard Yea-And-Nay By Maurice Hewlett The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay CHAPTER I OF COUNT RICHARD, AND THE FIRES BY NIGHT I choose to record how Richard Count of Poictou rode all through one smouldering night to see Jehane Saint-Pol a last time. It had so been named by the lady; but he rode in his hottest mood of Nay to that, yet careless of first or last so he could see her again. Nominally to remit his master's sins, though actually (as he thought) to pay for his own, the Abbot Milo bore him company, if company you can call it which left the good man, in pitchy dark, some hundred yards behind. The way, which was long, led over Saint Andrew's Plain, the bleakest stretch of the Norman march; the pace, being Richard's, was furious, a pounding gallop; the prize, Richard's again, showed fitfully and afar, a twinkling point of light. Count Richard knew it for Jehane's torch, and saw no other spark; but Milo, faintly curious on the lady's account, was more concerned with the throbbing glow which now and again shuddered in the northern sky. Nature had no lamps that night, and made no sign by cry of night-bird or rustle of scared beast: there was no wind, no rain, no dew; she offered nothing but heat, dark, and dense oppression. Topping the ridge of sand, where was the Fosse des Noyées, place of shameful death, the solitary torch showed a steady beam; and there also, ahead, could be seen on the northern horizon that rim of throbbing light.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

Grade 10 By Carrol du Toit William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He is recognized in the world as the greatest dramatist. Some of the 35 plays written by William Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet Macbeth Othello As you like it The Merchant of Venice Twelfth Night King Lear Hamlet The Elizabethan World Queen Elizabeth was the Queen of England I from 1558-1603. Elizabethans had a very strong sense of social order: they believed that their queen was God's representative on Earth, and that God had created and blessed the ranks of society, from the monarch down through the nobility, gentry, merchants, and labourers. The English Parliament even passed laws on the clothes people could wear: it would have been unthinkable for, for example, a merchant to imitate wealthier individuals, and against the social order. Elizabethans considered families to be a model for the rest of their society: ordered, standardized, and with a strict sense of hierarchy. The accepted norms for children's behaviour, for example, were based on passages in the Bible. Although Elizabeth's subjects were becoming more aware of comfort at home, life was still very hard for most, by modern standards. Average life expectancy was nearly 42 years of age, but the wealthy generally lived longer.

Cambrihgt : PRINTED BY JONATHAN PALMER, SIDNEY STREET. PREFACE. SOME years ago, on the first appearance of the " Idylls of the King," I undertook to read the volume with a class at the Working Men's College, and to preface the reading by some account of ' those epics of chivalry of which the Idylls' are the latest and most precious outgrowth. I was acquainted with the Nibelungenlied, and knew its relation to the Edda; was tolerably familiar with both the German and the French of the twelfth or thirteenth centuries of the ; knew something ' Chanson de Roland,' and one or two of the Carlovingian poems earliest edited in the mis- named "Romans des douze Pairs," as well as of " the Tristans ;" had read the Mabinogion and Sir Thomas Mallory. In promising a general sketch, I quite expected, I must confess, to find the whole thing ready done to my hand, so that I should have only to condense, and to refer my hearers for VI PREFACE. further details to one or more standard works treating ex professo of the subject. To my sur- prise however, on referring to such authorities as Warton, Ellis, Ritson, Weber, De la Rue and others, I found nothing that suited my purpose : masses of antiquarian and bibliographical disqui- sition, nothing complete, nothing clear, nothing which I could feel to be sufficient. So I had to set to work at first hand, and make up my mind for myself.

    English Pastorals English Pastorals SELECTED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY EDMUND K. CHAMBERS C.B., B.A., D.Litt. BLACKIE AND SON LIMITED 50 OLD BAILEY, LONDON; GLASGOW, BOMBAY There were kills which garnished their proud heights with stately trees; humble valleys, whose base estate seemed comforted with the refreshing of silver rivers; meadows enamelled with all sorts of eye-pleasing flowers; thickets, which being lined with most pleasant shade, were witnessed so too by the cheerful disposition of many well-tuned birds; each pasture stored with sheep, feeding with sober security, while the pretty lambs with bleating outcry craved the dam's comfort; here a shepherd's boy piping as though he should never be old; there a young shepherdess knitting, and withal singing; and it seemed that her voice comforted her hands to work, and her hands kept time to h> voice-music.
