Описание: Excerpt from Essays Yet, except that it is overtaken and put to death In these acc ssible places, the Wild summer growth of Rome has a prevailing success and vi tory. It breaks all bounds, flies to the summits, lodges in the sun, swings in the Wind, takes Wing to find the remotest ledges, and blooms aloft. It makes light of the sixteenth century, of the seventeenth, and of the eighteenth. AS the historic ages grow cold it banters them alike. The flagrant flourishing statue, the haughty fagade, the interrupted pediment (and Rome is chiefly the city of the interrupted pediment) are the opportunities of this vagrant garden in the air. One certain church, that is full of attitude, can hardly be aware that a crimson snap dragon of great stature and many stalks and blossoms is standing on its furthest summit tiptoe against its sky. The cornice of another Church in the fair middle of Rome lifts out of the shadows of the Streets a row of acci dental marigolds. Impartial to the antique, the mediaeval, the Renaissance early and late, the newer modern, this wild summer finds its account in travertine and tufa, reticulated work, brick, Stucco, and stone. A bird of the air carries the matter, 'or the last sea-wind, sombre and soft, or the latest tramontana, gold and blue, has lodged in a little fertile dust the Wild grass, Wild wheat, Wild oats About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Описание: Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell (nee Thompson, 1847-1922) was a British writer, editor, critic, and suffragist, now best remembered as a poet. She was born in Barnes, London, but was brought up mainly in Italy and, whilst recuperating from one of her frequent illnesses, converted to the Catholic faith. Her first volume of poetry, Preludes, was published in 1875, illustrated by her sister Elizabeth (the artist Lady ELizabeth Butler 1846-1933), and whilst it received little public notice was warmly priased by Ruskin. In 1877 Alice married Wilfrid Meynell, a Catholic newspaper editor who had admired her poems on religious subjects. The couple settled in Kensington, became proprietors of magazines including The Pen and the Weekly Register, and went on to have eight children. Alice was one of the early founders of the Catholic women's organization, Catholic Women's Suffrage Society, in support of peaceful means for the achievement of equal suffrage rights for women, and she established and wrote for its newpaper The Catholic Suffragist. She was also vice-president of the Women Writers' Suffrage League. She was a regular contributor to numerous journals such as The Spectator, the Pall Mall Gazette and The Saturday Review, edited many volumes of poetry and published further volumes of her own poems, being twice considered for the role of Poet Laureate. Her later poems show her feminist concerns as well as her reactions to the events of the First World War. This complete collection of Alice Meynell's poems is reprinted from the McClelland and Stewart Canadian edition of 1923 and includes a portrait of the author reproduced from a drawing by John Singer Sargent.
