| the city of dreadful night and other poems: The City of Dreadful Night and Other Poems James Thomson, 2015-07-10 Excerpt from The City of Dreadful Night and Other Poems: Being a Selection From the Poetical Works of James Thomson Although the fame of the second James Thomson is at last securely established, and he cannot now be confounded, save by the very ignorant, either with the author of The Seasons, or with his almost equally unfortunate contemporary, Francis Thompson, the story of his career is not yet so well or so generally known as to make it unnecessary to tell it here. Therefore, since that knowledge is the key to any proper appreciation of Thomson's writings, I will once more briefly relate the tragic story of a life which was, to use his own words, 'a long defeat.' Yet was it really that? As regards himself and his personal misfortunes it certainly was. Yet in this respect it was hardly more so than was that of Robert Burns, who at the close of his brief career might almost have used the same words.

| the city of dreadful night and other poems: The City of Dreadful Night James Thomson, 2017-12-26 Excerpt from The City of Dreadful Night: And Other Poems Because a cold rage seizes one at whiles To show the bitter old and wrinkled truth Stripped naked of all vesture that beguiles, False dreams, false hopes, false masks and modes of youth; Because it gives some sense of power and passion In helpless impotence to try to fashion Our woe in living words howe'er uncouth. Surely I write not for the hopeful young, Or those who deem their happiness of worth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

| the city of dreadful night and other poems: The City of Dreadful Night James Thomson, 2013-05-31 The city of dreadful night is a poem of pessimism, which, neither widely read nor popular, has, however, a twofold value as a document of humanity and as an extraordinarily thorough and vivid representation of a sole, overmastering mood undesirable but undeniable. Written by the Scottish poet, James Thomson, himself a lifelong melancholic. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |

| the city of dreadful night and other poems: The City of Dreadful Night and Other Writings James Thomson, 2022-03-28 By turns allegorical, visionary, and satirical, The City of Dreadful Night and Other Writings combines Thomson's poetic magnum opus with selections from his poetry and literary-critical, belletristic prose pieces, written for The Secular Review, National Reformer, and Cope's Tobacco Plant throughout the 1860s and 70s. Harrowing and musical in its nightmarish visions like Insomnia and in the title poem, wryly comic and philosophical in his prose essays, here is an unheralded voice of a Victorian generation, which came of age with the publicization of Darwin's findings, and saw humanity definitively condemned to a godless globe, descended from beasts. |

| the city of dreadful night and other poems: The Complete Poems James Thomson (B. V.), 2012-09-01 James Thomson (1834-1882), who often signed his work with the pseudonym B. V., ranks among the greatest of the Victorian poets, and his magnum opus The City of Dreadful Night exerted a powerful impact on modern poetry of the Twentieth Century. For the first time in print, his entire body of work now appears as the poet left it upon his untimely death at the age of 47. The three books of verse which Thomson prepared for publication stand in their entirety, and his uncollected poems are arranged in chronological order. The volume concludes with the verse translations found in Thomson's essays, many of which were omitted from previous editions. Here at last, in one lovingly edited volume, is the work of the Victorian era's most neglected and yet most resonant voice---James Thomson. |
| the city of dreadful night and other poems: A Poem at the Right Moment Velcheru Narayana Rao, David Shulman, 2023-07-28 A Poem at the Right Moment collects, and preserves, poems—called catus—that have circulated orally for centuries in South India. The poems are remarkable for their wit and precision, their lyrical insight on the commonplace, their fascination with sensual experience, and their exploration of the connection between language and desire. Taken together the catus offer a penetrating critical vision and an understanding of the classical traditions of Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit. Each poem is presented in a contemporary English translation along with the Indian-language original. An introduction and a concluding essay explore in detail the stories and texts that comprise the catu system. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1998. |
