Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... the crown of life the days, the doubts, the dreams of pain Are over, not to come again, And from the menace of the night Has dawned the day-star of delight: My baby lies against me pressed--Thus, Mother of God, are mothers blessed! His little head upon my arm, His little body soft and warm, His little feet that cannot stand Held in the heart of this, my hand. His little mouth close on my breast--Thus, Mary's Son, are mothers blessed. the crown of life All dreams of deeds, all deeds of day Are very faint and far away, Yet you some day will stand upright And fight God's foes, in manhood's might, You--tiny, worshipped, clasped, caressed--Thus, Mother of God, are mothers blessed. Whatever grief may come to be This hour divine goes on for me. All glorious is my little span, Since I, like God, have made a man, A little image of God's best--Thus, Mary's Son, are mothers blessed. Come change, come loss, come worlds of tears, Come endless chain of empty years; They cannot take away the hour That gives me You--my bird, my flower! Thank God for this! Leave God the rest!--Thus, Mother of God, are mothers blessed. magnificat this is Christ's birthday: long ago He lay upon His Mother's knee, Who kissed and blessed Him soft and low-God's gift to her, as you to me. My baby dear, my little one, The love that rocks this cradling breast Is such as Mary gave her Son: She was more honoured, not more blest. He smiled as you smile: not more sweet Than your eyes were those eyes of His, And just such little hands and feet As yours Our Lady used to kiss. magnificat The world's desire that Mother bore: She held a King upon her knee: 0 King of all my world, and more Than all the world's

"Songs of Love and Empire" is a 1898 collection of poetry by E. Nesbit. Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. This wonderful collection of her best poetry will appeal to fans of her work and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. The poems include: "To The Queen of England", "After Sixty Years", "Trafalgar Day", "A Song of Trafalgar", "Waterloo Day", "A Song of Peace and Honour", "The Ballad of the White Lady", "The Ghost Bereft", "The Vain Spell", "The Adventurer", "In The Enchanted Tower", "Faith", "Prelude", "At the Sound of the Drum", "The Goose-Girl", and more. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Love And Its Critics written by Michael Bryson and has been published by Open Book Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-07-10 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book is a history of love and the challenge love offers to the laws and customs of its times and places, as told through poetry from the Song of Songs to John Milton’s Paradise Lost. It is also an account of the critical reception afforded to such literature, and the ways in which criticism has attempted to stifle this challenge. Bryson and Movsesian argue that the poetry they explore celebrates and reinvents the love the troubadour poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries called fin’amor: love as an end in itself, mutual and freely chosen even in the face of social, religious, or political retribution. Neither eros nor agape, neither exclusively of the body, nor solely of the spirit, this love is a middle path. Alongside this tradition has grown a critical movement that employs a 'hermeneutics of suspicion', in Paul Ricoeur’s phrase, to claim that passionate love poetry is not what it seems, and should be properly understood as worship of God, subordination to Empire, or an entanglement with the structures of language itself – in short, the very things it resists. The book engages with some of the seminal literature of the Western canon, including the Bible, the poetry of Ovid, and works by English authors such as William Shakespeare and John Donne, and with criticism that stretches from the earliest readings of the Song of Songs to contemporary academic literature. Lively and enjoyable in its style, it attempts to restore a sense of pleasure to the reading of poetry, and to puncture critical insistence that literature must be outwitted. It will be of value to professional, graduate, and advanced undergraduate scholars of literature, and to the educated general reader interested in treatments of love in poetry throughout history.
