Excerpt from Stray Leaves Stray leaves of early Spring, By other leaves and fruit of Summer shaded, Too early in their first fair blossoming, Now almost faded. I scarce might offer these poor leaves to thee, Did not thine eyes their earlier beauty see. Stray leaves of later bloom, When life's long Summer day hath told its story, And Autumn comes, with less of sweet perfume, But mellower glory. I scarce to thee these russet leaves may give, But that thy dear approval bids them live. Stray leaves from distant hills Or dales, where we have often stroll'd together Olive and Palm, grown near Italian rills, Or spines of Heather. Memorials sweet I could not bring to thee, Had not love's fingers gathered them for me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

From the bestselling author of Sweetbitter, a memoir of growing up in a family shattered by lies and addiction, and of one woman's attempts to find a life beyond the limits of her past. After selling her first novel--a dream she'd worked long and hard for--Stephanie Danler knew she should be happy. Instead, she found herself driven to face the difficult past she'd left behind a decade ago: a mother disabled by years of alcoholism, further handicapped by a tragic brain aneurysm; a father who abandoned the family when she was three, now a meth addict in and out of recovery. After years in New York City she's pulled home to Southern California by forces she doesn't totally understand, haunted by questions of legacy and trauma. Here, she works toward answers, uncovering hard truths about her parents and herself as she explores whether it's possible to change the course of her history. Stray is a moving, sometimes devastating, brilliantly written and ultimately inspiring exploration of the landscapes of damage and survival.

Excerpt from Stray Leaves: Or Traces Races of Travel We leave Montreal in a great downpour of rain - a perfect deluge. In spite of the rain, there are many gathered on the pier to see us off. There is mutual waving of handkerchiefs, and exchange of farewells. The rain descends in torrents, type and tokert of God's manifold blessings, so at least we pilgrims are fain to look upon it. As our ship frees herself from her moorings, and glides into the stream, one fond pilgrim is overheard remarking that Montreal is weeping over our departure. And such copious tears as they are, too! Last evening at eight, we all met at the Cathedral, St. James's, to assist at Pontifical Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

But, in general, this question must be left to the arbitrament Of the people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
