A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Most poetry has to be interpreted by the aids it contains within itself, eked out occasionally by such light as is thrown on the subject by letters, criticism, or other literary works that have survived the author. For most poets are specialists who devote themselves exclusively to one art and express all their meaning in it. It is only in their poetry that they lived differently from other men, the other recorded things they did have only a secondary interest, or if their doings would have been significant, their energies have dissipated at their death and the meaning is gone. Morris was different, he was not a specialist in one, but practised in many fields of human activity. Nearly everjrthing he did was significant, and his meaning remains imprinted on works of the most varied kiads. With Morris the first duty of the artist was to make his meaning clear. Never let any one feel any doubt what you are trying to do, whether you do it ill or well, was his advice to a young, artist. This maxim he not only constantly held and preached, but applied with startling directness. If he had an idea about anything, he chose to express that idea, not the medium most convenient to him, but that most appropriate to the expression of the particular matter in hand. So when he developed in politics a theory of socialism, he did not write a didactic poem about it, but became a politician, founded an association, stumped the country, and maintained his cause at street corners like any Home Ruler or Tariff Reformer.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

God had loved, whose son was Pelias. And so, within a while, it came to pass This Pelias, being covetous and strong And full of wiles, and deeming nought was wrong That wrought him good, thrust Eson from his throne, And over all the Minyae reigned alone; While Eson, like a poor and feeble lord, Dwelt in Tolchos still, nor was his word Kegarded much by any man therein, Nor did men labour much his praise to win. Now mid all this a fair young son he had; And when his state thus fell from good to bad He thought, Though Pelias leave me now alone, Yet he may wish to make quite sure his throne By slaying me and mine, some evil day ;T herefore the child will I straight send away, Ere Pelias feels his high seat tottering, And gets to know the terrors of a king, That blood alone can deaden.
