  • Ballads from the Danish and Original Verses

    by E. M. Smith-Dampier ...
    He set his sail for Norroway, Saint Olaf our good king; For Hornelummer he shaped his course To see what luck would bring. (Red as the ruddy gold, the sun sets over Trondhjem.) Up and spake the steersman bold, Stood by the lading-gear: “At Hornelummer is no good haven, So grim a troll dwells there: “Eyes he hath like a burning brand; With his mouth he well can roar; His nails stand out, like the ...

  • Danish Ballads

    by E. M. Smith-Dampier ...
    It may be assumed that the student who approaches the Danish Ballads has already acquired some acquaintance with the prevailing theories as to the origin of Ballads in general. On that dark and debatable question I am unqualified to enter. To the earnest beginner I commend Dr. T. F. Henderson’s excellent Cambridge Manual The Ballad in Literature, where the opinions of Child, Gummere, Kittredge, ... Read more

  • The Norse King's Bridal: Translations from the Danish and old Norse with Original Ballads

    by E. M. Smith-Dampier ...
    In these translations from the Danish I have adhered strictly to the metres of the original; this, however, is not the case with those from the Old Norse. The original ballads are not versifications of Northern legends, but, like those in my previous volume, so far as matter goes, pure inventions of my own. The “Drowning of John Remorsson” is, according to Professor Gründtvig, in treatment, though ... Read more

  • Tennyson: Poems

    Edited by Peter Washington

    by Lord Alfred Tennyson ...
    Series series Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series
    Alfred, Lord Tennyson was a more complex writer than his status as Queen Victoria’ s favorite poet might suggest. Though capable of rendering rapture and delight in the most exquisite verse, in another mode Tennyson is brother in spirit to Poe and Baudelaire, the author of dark, passionate reveries. And though he treasured poetic tradition, his work nevertheless engaged directly with the great ... Read more
