Book Description
Excerpt from The Soul's Destroyer and Other Poems The Soul's Destroyer London! What utterance the mind finds here! In its academy of art, richer Than that proud temple which made Ophir poor, And the resources famed of Sheba's Queen. And its museums, hoarding up the past, With their rare bones of animals extinct; And woven stuffs embroidered by the East Ere other hemispheres could know that Peace Had trophies pleasanter to win than War; The great man, wrought to very life in stone - Of genius, that raises spirits that It cannot lay until their will is wrought - Till in their eyes we seek to wander awed, Lost in the mind's immensity, to find The passage barred, the spirit gone away. And not without sweet sounds to hear: as I Have heard the music, like a hiding child, Low chuckling its delight behind a wall, Which, with a sudden burst and joyous cry, Out leapt and on my heart threw its sweet weight - When strolling in the palace-bounded parks Of our great city on a summer's morn. Now, one who lives for long in London town Doth feel his love divided 'tween the two - A city's noise and Nature's quiet call: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

W. H. Davies
Author: Rory Waterman
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1785274570
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Though Davies is a well-known and unique literary figure of the early twentieth century, most famous now for The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp and poems such as ‘Leisure’, which came 14th in the BBC’s search to find ‘The Nation’s Favourite Poems’, no other volume of essays, or other critical monograph, concentrates on his work. This book not only provides a reassessment of Davies, putting him in his literary and cultural context, but also sheds light on the many more central literary figures he encountered and befriended. The central aim of the book is to reconsider his major works and his place in the literary and cultural milieu of his period.
