  • The Name of the Catholic Soldier-Poet, Alfred Joyce Kilmer
    ALFRED JOYCE KILMER The name of the Catholic soldier-poet, Alfred Joyce Kilmer, continues to excite admiration not only because of the heroism he displayed in his generous death-sacrifice, but also because of the nobility of his whole character as revealed so delicately in his writings. Let us briefly review his career. He was born at New Bruns­ wick, N. J., December 6, 1886; was graduated from Rutgers College in 1904; received his A. B. from Columbia in 1906; began teaching the same year as instructor in Latin at Morristown High School, N. J . ; some time after he became lexicographer; conducted for nine years the poetry department of the Literary Digest; finally, in 1913, he engaged as special writer for the New York Times Sunday Magazine. This year of 1913 marked the great turning-point in his life, for then it was that he pro­ fessed, together with his wife, the Catholic faith, having hitherto adhered to the Episcopalian persuasion. His conversion was thorough. Staunchly Catholic he re­ mained, laboring heartily withal for the spread of God's kingdom through a literary mission of piety and mirth; giving thereby a new impetus to our Catholic journalism. When the United States went into the World War Mr. Kilmer volunteered in the "Sixty­ ninth." In his "Apology" he tells us why he laid down his pen, grasped the gun, and with a farewell to wife and family, crossed the seas to fight: "Is freedom a will-o-the-wisp To cheat a poet's eye? Be it phantom or fact, it's a noble cause In which to sing and to die."' Sweetly did he sing, bravely did he fight, and manfully did he die in the cause of justice and freedom on August 1, 1918, his age being thirty-one years.

  • The Quixotic Return of Heroism in GK Chesterton's Modernism
    Columbia University Department of English & Comparative Literature Tilting After the Trenches: The Quixotic Return of Heroism in G.K. Chesterton’s Modernism Luke J. Foster | April 6, 2015 Prof. Erik Gray, Advisor The Senior Essay, presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with honors in English. Dedicated to Grace Catherine Greiner, a hope unlooked-for and a light undimmed. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “Ulysses.” Foster 2 Heroic and Ironic Chivalry Today almost forgotten, G.K. Chesterton’s “Lepanto” achieved immense popularity during World War I as a heroic vindication of the British cause. Chesterton published “Lepanto” three years before the outbreak of war in the weekly he edited, The Eye-Witness. A 173-line poem in ballad form, “Lepanto” deals with the decisive naval battle of 1571 when a coalition fleet drawn from the Habsburg Empire and several Italian city-states defeated a superior Ottoman naval force in the Ionian Sea. But from the decisively stressed opening syllables (“White founts falling”1), “Lepanto” looks beyond the historical significance of the battle and seeks to establish a myth with much broader implications. Chesterton, as his biographer Ian Ker explains, claimed that the story of Lepanto demonstrated that “all wars were religious wars,” and he intended the poem as a comment on the meaning of warfare in general.2 After the outbreak of World War I, “Lepanto” was read as an encouragement to British troops in the field.

Critical Discussion THE DECLINE OF LITERARY CRITICISM by Richard A. Posner ónán McDonald, a lecturer in literature at the University of R Reading, has written a short, engaging book the theme of which is evident from the title: The Death of the Critic. Although there is plenty of both academic and journalistic writing about literature, less and less is well described by the term “literary criticism.” The literary critics of the first two-thirds or so of the twentieth century, now dead, including poets and other creative writers, such as T. S. Eliot, journalists such as Edmund Wilson, and academic literary critics, as distinct from literary scholars, such as F. R. Leavis in England and Cleanth Brooks in the United States, have so few successors that the very genre, if not yet dead, is moribund.1 McDonald deplores the decline of literary criticism and seeks to explain its causes. In place of literary criticism, McDonald (and many others, such as John Ellis) argue, we have postmodern literary theory, an animal of quite a different color from literary criticism.2 “Texts .

    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2017 655 ISSN 2250-3153 Stylistics Analysis on Poem “Trees” Joyce Kilmer By: Jomel B. Manuel Department of Arts and Humanities College of Arts and Sciences Cagayan State University, Carig Campus, Tugugarao City Abstract This paper aims to analyze Joyce Kilmer’s poem entitled “Trees” for the perspective of stylistic analysis. The analysis is made under the aspects of phonological, morphological, graphological, and lexico-syntactic levels. This research is helpful in understanding the basic concepts, literal and hidden meanings of the poem. Index Terms. graphological level, lexico-syntactic level, morphological level, phonological level, stylistics 1. Introduction Style is the basic feature of any literary piece of writing. This gives uniqueness to every writer. Through one’s style, s/he can convey more the message to the readers. This shows that what makes one understandable and effective in expressing the message he/she wanted to convey would depend on how he/she dresses up his/her thoughts. Furthermore, Leech (1969) said that personality of the writer is connected with his particular style. It reveals that how a person effectively and beautifully depicts his ideas and thoughts. It describes the way of person's speaking and writing. It is derived from the Latin word "elocutio" which means "style" and means "lexis" in Greek. Style is an aspect of language that deals with choices of diction, phrases, sentences and linguistic materials that are consistent and harmonious with the subject matter (Lawal, 1997). Style is involved in both, spoken and written, literary and nonliterary types of language.

  • Trees I Think That I Shall Never See a Poem Lovely As a Tree. a Tree Whose
    Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. ~Joyce Kilmer, “Trees,” 1914 "Trees" was originally published in Trees and Other Poems. Joyce Kilmer. New York: George H. Doran Company, 1914. The Bois d’Arc and the Legacy of the Tree by Andi Foster Majestically rising toward the sky with a towering canopy providing shade and deeply rooted in the ground, the native Texas bois d’arc tree stands on the John C. Rogers property planted more than 80-plus years ago. Symbolically, the strong, hardwood bois d’arc tree, known as the Osage-orange tree, can be identified with the early settlers planting their family roots in Shelby County thereby creating a family tree legacy and building a way of life for future generations. According to the Texas A&M Forest Service http://texastreeid.tamu.edu/content/TreeDetails/?id=61, the Osage- orange tree (Maclura pomifera) is native to East and Central Texas, which is better known as the bois-d’arc, bodark or hedge-apple tree and attains its largest size in the valley of the Red River in the northeast part of the state, often on clay soils.

  • Joyce Kilmer
    Collected Poems of Joyce Kilmer Collected Poems of Joyce Kilmer G P Goretti Publications 1201 Dozenal numeration is a system of thinking of numbers in twelves, rather than tens. Twelve is much more versatile, having four even divisors—2, 3, 4, and 6—as opposed to only two for ten. This means that such hatefulness as “0.333 ... ” for 1/3 and “0.1666 ... ” for 1/6 are things of the past, replaced by easy “0;4” (four twelfths) and “0;2” (two twelfths). In dozenal, counting goes “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, elv, dozen; dozen one, dozen two, dozen three, dozen four, dozen five, dozen six, dozen seven, dozen eight, dozen nine, dozen ten, dozen elv, two dozen, two dozen one ... ” It’s written as such: 1, 2 2 3 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, , ,3 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1 , 1 , 20, 21 . Dozenal counting is at once much more efficient and much easier than decimal counting, and takes only a little bit of time to get used to.

  • Joyce Kilmer - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Joyce Kilmer - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Joyce Kilmer(1886-1918) Kilmer was born on December 6, 1886 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the fourth and youngest child of Annie Ellen Kilburn (1849–1932) and Dr. Frederick Barnett Kilmer (1851–1934), a physician and analytical chemist employed by the Johnson and Johnson Company and inventor of the company's baby powder. Joyce was named Alfred Joyce Kilmer after Alfred R. Taylor, the curate; and the Rev. Dr. Elisha Brooks Joyce (1857–1926), the rector of Christ Church, the oldest Episcopal parish in New Brunswick, where the Kilmer family were parishioners. Rector Joyce, who served the parish from 1883 to 1916, baptised the young Kilmer. Kilmer's birthplace in New Brunswick, where the Kilmer family lived from 1886 to 1892, is still standing, and houses a small museum to Kilmer, as well as a few Middlesex County government offices. Kilmer entered the Rutgers College Grammar School (now Rutgers Preparatory School) in 1895 at the age of 8. During his years at the Grammar School, he.... "...won the Lane prize in public speaking and was editor-in-chief of the Argo, the school paper. He loved the classics, although he had considerable difficulty with Greek. In his last year at Rutgers, he won the first Lane Classical Prize, a free scholarship for the academic course at Rutgers College, and one hundred dollars in money. Despite his difficulties with mathematics and Greek, he stood at the head of his class in preparatory school." After graduating from the Rutgers College Grammar School in 1904, he continued his education at Rutgers College from 1904 to 1906.

  • Poems About Trees
    Poems about trees Joyce Kilmer wrote the most famous poem about trees, copied below. It first appeared in print in 1913, Poetry, A Magazine of Verse, the oldest monthly magazine devoted to verse in the English-speaking world. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, he enlisted in the U.S. army, at the age of 30. According to military records, Kilmer died on the battlefield near Muercy Farm, beside the Ourcq River near the village of Seringes-et-Nesles, in France, on July 30, 1918 at the age of 31 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Kilmer). He left behind a wife and five children. Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. It’s beautiful and sentimental, as was lots of Kilmer’s poetry, but some Song of the Open Road people parodied it. Ogden Nash, that famous author of humorous poetry, I think that I shall never see wrote the little poem to the right. A billboard lovely as a tree The poem that Gries learned as a kid appears below. A little searching Indeed, unless the billboards fall on the internet uncovered the fact that it is a modification of a poem written I'll never see a tree at all.
