JACK TO BEATRICE BIRNIE SINCLAIR AND PHILIP MACKWORTH CO X 00 PREFACE MY apology for venturing to rush in where even poets have trod with but a measure of success must be that compilers of existing anthologies have had, it seems to me, a more intimate acquaintance with poetry than with the boys and girls for whom their selections have been made. If you talk to a child, you will find that an insight into the working of his little mind, an appreciation of his likes and dislikes, will stand you in better stead than a profound knowledge of your subject. Write, edit or compile a children's book, and again the same holds true. The first qualification for the task is love and knowledge of the little readers. But time alone can justify the publication of The Golden Staircase. When well-worn copies are found on nurseiry or schoolroom bookshelf, then only shall I feel that I have vindicated my right to compile an anthology for children. My ultimate object is to guide boys and girls to those harvest-fields of poetry in which they may wander at large, but primarily the book has been planned with a view to their enjoyment by the way. The Golden Staircase has two hundred steps. If a child begins to climb when he is four years old, and climbs twenty steps each year, on his fourteenth birth- day he will reach the top. Behind him will descend Til viii THE GOLDEN STAIRCASE the staircase from which he has caught glimpses of the merriment and beauty and heroism beyond ; before him will stretch those Elysian fields through which his feet have been prepared to roam. Following the two hundred poems and verses of The Golden Staircase are twenty Cradle Songs, which seem to me well within the limits of a little girl's appre- ciation; and the book ends with a selection of forty Carols, Hymns and Sacred Verses which I hope will appeal to boys and girls alike. The kindness of authors or their friends, and of publishers, who have allowed me to include copyright poems, I acknowledge below, and to the many who have given this permission with amazing generosity I would tender especial thanks. I hope there may not be, inadvertently, any omission from the list. Those who have suggested or remonstrated, and those who have copied verses, are too numerous to thank in other than general terms, but I am con- strained to mention Miss Mary Steedman and the Rev. B. R. Wilson also Miss with- W. ; Amy Steedman, out whose unfailing help and interest The Golden Staircase would still have been in the making. LOUEY CHISHOLM. EDINBURGH.

  • CHS 57 Philemon
    Sermon #3103 Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit 1 A PASTORAL VISIT NO. 3103 A SERMON PUBLISHED ON THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1908. DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. “The Church in your house.” Philemon 1:2. SOME interpreters have supposed that a small congregation met for worship in a room in Philemon’s house and there is a tradition that such was the case for some considerable time. The Churches established by Paul were, at their commencement, for the most part small. Obliged—for the sake of peace and to avoid persecution—to meet in out of-the-way places where they were not likely to be seen by foes, the retired house of some well-known friend, perhaps that of the minister, if it had a room conveniently large, would be the natural place for Believers to gather together in those early Churches. Philemon, therefore, might literally have had a Church in his house and a congregation might have gathered there. It strikes me that there would be a great deal of good done if persons who have large rooms in their houses would endeavor to get together little congregations. There are many, even of our poorer friends, who live in neighborhoods of London destitute of the means of Grace, who might promote a great blessing if they occasionally opened their houses for a Prayer Meeting or religious assembly. We need no consecrated places for the worship of God— “Wherever we seek Him, He is found, And every place is hallowed ground.” Certainly our text does not give any countenance to the calling of certain buildings “Churches.” Buildings for worship, whether erected by Episcopalians or Dissenters, are frequently called “Churches.” If I ask for “the church” in any town, I am forthwith directed to an edifice, probably with a spire or a steeple, which the inhabitants call “the church.” Why, they might as well point me to a signpost when I asked for a man—a building cannot be a Church! A Church is an assembly of faithful men and it cannot be anything else.

  • Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Dante Gabriel Rossetti - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Dante Gabriel Rossetti(12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882) Rossetti was born, the son of an Italian patriot and political refugee and an English mother, in England. He was raised in an environment of cultural and political activity that, it has been suggested, was of more import to his learning than his formal education. This latter was constituted by a general education at King's College from 1836 to 1841 and, following drawing lessons at a school in central London at the age of fourteen, some time as a student at the Royal Academy from 1845 onwards. Here he studied painting with William Hollman Hunt and John Everett Millais who, in 1848, would set up the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Rossetti, Rossetti's younger brother and three other students. The school's aspirations, in this its first incarnation, was to paint true to nature: a task pursued by way of minute attention to detail and the practice of painting out of doors. Rossetti's principal contribution to the Brotherhood was his insistence on linking poetry and painting, no doubt inspired in part by his earlier and avaricious readings of Keats, Shakespeare, Goethe, Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Edgar Allan Poe and, from 1847 onwards, the works of William Blake. 'The Germ' lasted however for only four issues, all published in 1850. In 1854 Rossetti met and gained an ally in the art critic John Ruskin and, two years later, meetings with Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris set a second phase of the Brotherhood into movement.

What cannot patience do. A great design is seldom snatched at once, 'tis PATIENCE heaves it on. ." — K. H. COMPILER'S PREFACE The letters here presented to the reader, written by the Founder of the Theosophical Society between the years 1880-1888, are intended to form a companion volume to the recently published Mahatma Letters, and should be read in conjunction with that work. They have been transcribed direct from the originals and without omission except for the occasional deletion of a name where-ever for obvious reasons it was absolutely necessary to do so. Contrary to the method employed in The Mahatma Letters, the compiler has permitted himself to correct obvious errors of spelling and punctuation, as these were too numerous to ignore, and no useful purpose could be served by leaving them unedited. Here and there in the text a word appears in square brackets.

Mr. Kohn VAN GOGH BOOK READING GUIDE QUESTIONS Pages 39-61 Vincent the Dog 1883-85 I am getting to be like a dog, I feel that the future will probably make me more ugly and rough, and I foresee that “a certain poverty” will be my fate, but, I shall be a painter. --Letter to Theo, December 1883 Vincent came home ready to give his parents another chance to do the right thing. If only his father would apologize for throwing him out of the house, they could all settle down to the important business of Vincent’s becoming an artist. Mr. van Gogh didn’t see it that way. He and Vincent’s mother welcomed their thirty-year-old problem child, but they were ambivalent at the prospect of having him back in the nest. After a few days Vincent wrote humorously yet bitterly to Theo, comparing himself to a stray dog. 39 Dear brother, I feel what Father and Mother think of me instinctively(I do not say intelligently). They feel the same dread of taking me in the house as they would about taking in a big rough dog.

MUSIC FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MASSES: AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, THE RECORDING INDUSTRY, AND PUNK ROCK IN THE COLD WAR by MINDY CLEGG Under the Direction of ALEX SAYF CUMMINGS, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the connections between US foreign policy initiatives, the global expansion of the American recording industry, and the rise of punk in the 1970s and 1980s. The material support of the US government contributed to the globalization of the recording industry and functioned as a facet American-style consumerism. As American culture spread, so did questions about the Cold War and consumerism. As young people began to question the Cold War order they still consumed American mass culture as a way of rebelling against the establishment. But corporations complicit in the Cold War produced this mass culture. Punks embraced cultural rebellion like hippies.

  • Pre-Raphaelites and the Book
    Pre-Raphaelites and the Book February 17 – August 4, 2013 National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites and the Book Many artists of the Pre-Raphaelite circle were deeply engaged with integrating word and image throughout their lives. John Everett Millais and Edward Burne-Jones were sought-after illustrators, while Dante Gabriel Rossetti devoted himself to poetry and the visual arts in equal measure. Intensely attuned to the visual and the liter- ary, William Morris became a highly regarded poet and, in the last decade of his life, founded the Kelmscott Press to print books “with the hope of producing some which would have a definite claim to beauty.” He designed all aspects of the books — from typefaces and ornamental elements to layouts, where he often incorporated wood- engraved illustrations contributed by Burne-Jones. The works on display here are drawn from the National Gallery of Art Library and from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library. front cover: William Holman Hunt (1827 – 1910), proof print of illustration for “The Lady of Shalott” in Alfred Tennyson, Poems, London: Edward Moxon, 1857, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (9) back cover: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882), proof print of illustration for “The Palace of Art” in Alfred Tennyson, Poems, London: Edward Moxon, 1857, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (10) inside front cover: John Everett Millais, proof print of illustration for “Irene” in Cornhill Magazine, 1862, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (11) Origins of Pre-Raphaelitism 1 Carlo Lasinio (1759 – 1838), Pitture a Fresco del Campo Santo di Pisa, Florence: Presso Molini, Landi e Compagno, 1812, National Gallery of Art Library, A.W.

  • William Morris: the Modern Self, Art, and Politics
    UC Berkeley UC Berkeley Previously Published Works Title William Morris: The Modern Self, Art, and Politics Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9hq08668 Journal History of European Ideas, 24 Author Bevir, Mark Publication Date 1998 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California WILLIAM MORRIS: THE MODERN SELF, ART, AND POLITICS By Mark Bevir Department of Politics University of Newcastle Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU U.K. [Email: [email protected]] 2 ABSTRACT A concern to pin ideological labels on Morris has obscured the continuing importance of romanticism and Protestantism for his socialist politics. Romanticism led him to seek self-realisation in an art based on naturalness and harmony, and Protestantism led him to do so in the everyday worlds of work and domestic life. From Ruskin, he took a sociology linking the quality of art to the extent of such self- realisation in daily life. Even after he turned to Marxism, he still defined his socialist vision in terms of good art produced and enjoyed within daily life. Moreover, his over-riding concern to promote a new spirit of art, not his dislike of Hyndman, led him to a purist politics, that is, to look with suspicion on almost all forms of political action. 2 3 WILLIAM MORRIS: THE MODERN SELF, ART, AND POLITICS Keywords: Morris, Socialism, Art, Self, Romanticism, Protestantism I William Morris, 1834-98, is best known as a poet and designer who inspired the Arts and Crafts Movement. But he was also an important socialist and utopian theorist, arguably the most influential, and surely the most inspirational, writer on the left in Britain.
