22. L'astronomie Et La Poesie : Robert W. Service Robert W. Service (18741958). Le poète canadien le plus populaire du début duXXe siècle est Robert W. Service, un auteur d origine anglaise. http://pages.infinit.net/noxoculi/service.html

Nox Oculis Robert W. Service Rhymes of a Red Cross Man The Cremation of Sam McGee There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold ; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold ; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was the night on the marge at Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee. Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows. Why he left his home in the South to roam 'round the Pole, God only knows. He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell ; Though he'd often say in his homely way that "he'd sooner live in hell." On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail. Talk of your cold! through the parka's fold it stabbed like a driven nail. If our eyes we'd close, then the lashes froze till sometimes we couldn't see ; It wasn't much fun, but the only one to whimper was Sam McGee. And that very night, as we lay packed tight in our robes beneath the snow

"Robert W. Service" [Robert William Service] (1874-1958) by John Garvin, (1872-1934) Garvin, John William, ed. Canadian Poets [Page 359] Robert W. Service ONALD G. F RENCH , in the 'Globe Magazine.' [Page 360] R OBERT W. SERVICE is not a Canadian poet in the truest sense of the term. He was not born in Canada, nor did he arrive in this land in early childhood and grow up in a Canadian environment. He was born in Lancashire, England, in 1876, and when six years of age moved to Scotland with his parents. He was educated in the city of Glasgow, his higher education being received in the Hillhead High School, and in the University of Glasgow. At the age of twenty, Mr. Service came to Canada and made his way westward from city to city, until he arrived at Victoria, B.C. The next five years he wandered back and forth on the Pacific coast, travelling as far south as Mexico, residing temporarily in every city of importance, and learning by hard, personal experience, some of the deepest lessons of life. Finally he became a clerk in the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Victoria, and subsequently was stationed at other branches in Vancouver, Kamloops, and White Horse in the Yukon District.

Canadian Poet...Bard of the Yukon Robert William Service was born in Lancashire, England on January 16, 1874. He received his education at the University of Glasgow. He worked at various jobs in California and B.C. until he was posted by the Canadian Bank of Commerce to go work in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in1894. He arrived during the Klondike era, amidst the height of the Gold Rush and while there, published his most notable piece "The Cremation of Sam McGee" which won him immediate fame. He left Yukon for Paris in 1912 and remained in France for most of the rest of his life. Service produced more than twenty verse collections and romances, including Ballads of a Cheechako, and Bar-Room Ballads. In 1946, he finally retired to the Riviera. He died in Lancieux, France September 11, 1958. The following obituary appeared in the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph of Sept. 16, 1958: A GREAT POET died last week in Lancieux, France, at the age of 84. He was not a poet's poet. Fancy-Dan dilletantes will dispute the description "great." He was a people's poet. To the people he was great. They understood him, and knew that any verse carrying the by-line of Robert W. Service would be a lilting thing, clear, clean and power-packed, beating out a story with a dramatic intensity that made the nerves tingle.

Biographies of the featured poets Li Po (Japanese Rihaku) (701-762) Chinese poet, one of the greatest figures of Chinese literature. Li Po (or Li Bai) was born into the minor nobility in what is now Sichuan (Szechwan) Province. After an apprenticeship with a Daoist hermit and a time of wandering, he lived briefly as a poet at the Tang dynasty court in Changan but left as the result of intrigue. Then he returned to a life of Daoist study and carefree reflective wandering, writing poems and enjoying nature and the pleasures of wine, supplied free by the emperor's orders. According to legend, Li Po was drowned while drunkenly leaning from a boat to embrace the Moon's reflection on the water. Poem: "Lament of the Frontier Guard" John Donne (1572 -1631) A noted english poet and essayist, Donne sailed with the Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh in the naval expeditions against Cadiz in August 1596, where the inspiration for his poem "The Burnt Ship" occurred.

Akoot Famous Writers Oh, It Is Good Oh, it is good to drink and sup, And then beside the kindly fire To smoke and heap the faggots up, And rest and dream to heart's desire. Oh, it is good to ride and run, To roam the greenwood wild and free, To hunt, to idle on the sun, To leap into the laughing sea. Oh, it is good with hand and brain To gladly till the chosen soil, And after honest sweat and strain To see the harvest of one's toil. Oh, it is good afar to roam, And seek adventure in strange lands; Yet oh, so good the coming home, The velvet love of little hands. So much is good . We thank Thee, God, For all the tokens Thou hast given, That here on earth our feet have trod Thy little shining trails of Heaven. Written by Robert W. Service (1874-1958) Robert W.
