Excerpt from Washington: A National Epic in Six Cantos The following poem was written at Cold Spring in the Hudson Highlands during the summer months which succeeded the centennial celebration of Washington's inauguration as first President of the United States, April 30, 1789-1889.Circumstances have delayed its publication until the present time. To one residing in the Hudson Highlands the inspirations of mountain scenery are associated with historic memories of the romantic revolutionary period. As yet no one, to our know ledge, had woven or attempted to weave in unity of person and place the poetic thoughts, which nature and history here suggest in wonderful richness and importance.

Excerpt from A History of Epic Poetry (Post-Virgilian) The following pages are meant to exhibit the different national renderings of a variety of poetry that perhaps more than any other has given status to the literature possessing a great specimen of it, and supremacy to the poet of that specimen. I have restricted my formal examination of poems to those of the post Virgilian period. So much excellent criticism has been made on Homer and Virgil that it seemed presumption on my part, as well as a needless increase of the bulk of the book, to adventure a full statement of the epical position of these two princely poets. It is clear, however, that no history of epic poetry could be called satisfactory that did not contain some reference to these poets - that did not, indeed, to a definite if limited extent, take into account and appraise their work. I have therefore in the Introduction devoted some pages to a consideration of certain aspects of the epical quality of their respective poems. Other pre-virgilian epics than those of Homer claim, and have received, a certain amount of attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Book of the Epic, the World's Great Epics Told in Story Every now and then in our reading we come suddenly face to face with first things - the very elemental sources beyond which no man may go. There is a distinct satis faction in dealing with such beginnings, and, when they are those of literature, the sense of freshness is nothing short of inspiring. To share the same lofty outlook, to breathe the same high air with those who first sensed a whole era of creative thoughts, is the next thing to being the gods' chosen medium for those prima expressions. All this is not to say that the epic is the oldest form of literary expression, but it is the expression of the oldest literary ideas, for, even when the epic is not at all primitive in form, it deals essentially with elemental moods and ideals. Epical poetry is poetic not because it is metrical and conformative to rhythmical standards, - though it usually is both, - but it is poetry because of the high sweep of its emotional outlook, the bigness of its thought, the untamed passion of its language, and the musical flow of its utterance. Here, then, we have a veritable source book of the oldest ideas of the race; but not only that - we are also led into the penetralia of the earliest thought of many separate nations, for when the epic is national, it is true to the earliest genius of the people whose spirit it depicts.
