skip to main skip to sidebar The Pet Museum the lives, times, art and history of our pets Sunday, November 25, 2007 william cowper on his kitten I have a kitten the drollest of all creatures that ever wore a cat's skin. Her gambols are not to be described, and would be incredible, if they could. In point of size she is likely to be a kitten always, being extremely small of her age, but time, I suppose, that spoils everything, will make her also a cat. You will see her, I hope, before that melancholy period shall arrive, for no wisdom that she may gain by experience and reflection hereafter will compensate the loss of her present hilarity. She is dressed in a tortoise-shell suit, and I know that you will delight in her. from The Works of William Cowper: His Life, Letters, and Poems Posted by curator at 5:06 PM comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Blog Archive January vietnamese figures of pet speech more herford kitten verse today i saw a cool dog ...

Brann The Iconoclast (Vol. XII) by William Cowper Brann Terms Contents Life Blood Brann's Death ... Index William Cowper Brann. William Cowper Brann. The first position he obtained was that of bell boy in a hotel. Later on he learned to be a painter and grainer, then a printer, a reporter, and finally an editorial writer. He was energetic, industrious and painstaking in whatever he undertook to do, therefore always employed. Early in his struggle he realized the need of an education, in the acquirement of which he applied himself with eager diligence. Nature had endowed him with keen perceptive powers, a retentive memory and great mental vigor, by means of which he soon accumulated considerable knowledge. Every moment that could be spared from his daily toil was spent in reading books of science, philosophy, history, biography and general literature. In this way he became thoroughly informed on almost every important subject, as will be seen by the contents of his writings. On March 3, 1877, at Rochelle, Illinois, he was married to Miss Carrie Martin, who, with their two children, Grace Gertrude and William Carlyle is now living in the beautiful home, here at Waco, from which he was buried April 3, 1898. During all the years, from the time he left the hospitable home of Mr. Hawkins, in 1868, until after he had successfully launched "Brann's ICONOCLAST," he suffered the harassing annoyances of extreme poverty, in the endurance of which he was cheerful, hopeful and diligent in the equipment of his mind preparatory to the work he always believed he would some day be able to accomplish.

63. William Cowper - Poetic Examples From BOB'S BYWAY william cowper 1731 1800. VERSES SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY ALEXANDER SELKIRK. * This is the full text of the poem of which the first stanza is shown in http://www.poeticbyway.com/xcowper.htm

WILLIAM COWPER VERSES SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY ALEXANDER SELKIRK This is the full text of the poem of which the first stanza is shown in the Glossary to illustrate the term, scan. It also provides an example of anapestic feet and the second stanza begins with an apostrophe. I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; From the center all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute. O solitude! where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? While anapestic trimeter is the prevailing metrical pattern of this poem, only 20 of the 56 lines are fully anapestic; 36 lines begin with an iambic foot. Better dwell in the midst of alarms Than reign in this horrible place. I am out of humanity's reach. I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech; I start at the sound of my own. The beasts that roam over the plain My form with indifference see; They are so unacquainted with man, Their tameness is shocking to me. Born in Scotland in 1676, Alexander Selkirk ran away to sea when he was nineteen. In 1704, during a privateering expedition to plunder Spanish shipping off the Pacific coast of South America, he became concerned over the seaworthiness of their ship. After a quarrel with the captain, he asked to be put ashore on the Juan Fernandez islands, about 400 miles off the coast of Chile. Selkirk remained alone on the island for four years and four months, until finally rescued by an English vessel in 1709.

Home Slavery Abolition Equiano ... Search Anti-Slavery Poems by William Cowper From Charity From The Task ... 'Sweet Meat has Sour Sauce: or, the Slave Trader in the Dumps' William Cowper From Charity To associate all the branches of mankind; And if a boundless plenty be the robe, Trade is the golden girdle of the globe. Wise to promote whatever end he means, God opens fruitful Nature’s various scenes: Each climate needs what other climes produce, And offers something to the general use; No land but listens to the common call, And in return receives supply from all. This genial intercourse, and mutual aid, Cheers what were else a universal shade, Calls nature from her ivy-mantled den, And softens human rock-work into men. Ingenious Art, with her expressive face, Steps forth to fashion and refine the race; Not only fills necessity’s demand, But overcharges her capacious hand: Capricious taste itself can crave no more Than she supplies from her abounding store: She strikes out all that luxury can ask, And gains new vigour at her endless task. Hers is the spacious arch, the shapely spire

INTRODUCTION Considered a transitional figure in English poetry whose works embody both eighteenth and nineteenth-century styles and concerns, Cowper was a forerunner of Romanticism in England and one of the most popular poets of his age. Known for his early comic ballad, “The Journey of John Gilpin,” which established his literary reputation, the Olney Hymns (1779), now a part of Evangelical liturgy, and his mock-heroic verse satires, Cowper is principally remembered for his discursive and conversational blank verse masterpiece, The Task (1785). A poem composed in response to Lady Austen's flippant remark that he write on the subject of her sofa, the six highly descriptive books of The Task demonstrate Cowper's contention that repose in the country lends itself to the cultivation of “piety and virtue,” while life in the city degrades humankind by its corruptive influence. The work is viewed as Cowper's lasting poetic expression on nature, society, God, and man, as it regards subjects ranging from the topical and trivial to the national and spiritual. Additionally, Cowper continues to be regarded for the spontaneity and simplicity of his nature lyrics, the earnest, personal tone of his religious poetry, and the wit embodied in his satires and correspondence.

Abstract Any reading of Cowper's work that takes his evangelical faith seriously must deal with the issues raised by the biography. Accordingly, I present an approach to the biographical problem that into account the painful gap between Cowper's poetic proclamations of evangelical hope and private experiences of despair. Paradoxically, it is Cowper's perceived loss of salvation that makes him uniquely qualified to speak of salvation. How, though, to do so while speaking on behalf of the saved (as he does in the Satires) remained a problem. In the Satires, Cowper attempts to solve the problem by taking a position similar to that of Interpreter in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress: he directs reader attention to various edifying images of salvation or damnation, but scrupulously avoids identification with any of them.
