The Englishman And Other Poems Classic Reprint

"The Englishman and Other Poems" is a collection of poems by author Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Though of American heritage, some of the poems are about England, for as she says, "We claim our place, as a separate race, Or a self-created clan; Till there comes a day when we like to say, 'We are kin of the Englishman.'" Other titles included in the collection are: 'The Muse and the Poet'; 'The Spinster'; 'The Tavern of Future Times'; 'In England'; and 'Memory's Mansion'. The preface features the poem 'The Queen's Last Ride', a poem written on the day of Queen Victoria's funeral.

Excerpt from The Englishman in Greece: Being a Collection of the Verse of Many English Poets The literary record of the Englishman in Greece offers a less copious material from which to select than that of the Englishman in Italy, to which cherished land, throughout the century but recently closed, our most illustrious singers have dedicated so much of their affection and genius. With the exception of Byron the greater English poets have known Greece only in the spirit, though Keats indeed might almost be regarded as one born in exile from his appropriate country, consumed with a perpetual longing for the Latmos and Olympos of his dreams. And now that the highways and waterways are open, that communications easy and secure have unveiled the hidden charms of the storied land, it would almost seem as though the fountains of inspiration were dry. A selection from the works of English authors on Greece must therefore inevitably rather reflect the classic spirit than reveal the living character.

Excerpt from The Morning of a Love: And Other Poems Ever since the idea of placing these verses before the English public was first suggested to me, I have asked myself whether I have a right to publish them without a word of apology or explanation; for the verses themselves clearly bear evidence here and.
