  The Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gîtâ (from the Mahâbhârata) Being a discourse between Arjuna, Prince of India, and the Supreme Being under the form of Krishna

summary:
  Better thine own work is, though done with fault, Than doing others' work, ev'n excellently. Only that man attains Perfect surcease of work whose work was wrought With mind unfettered, soul wholly subdued, Desires for ever dead, results renounced.

summary:
  Yet, as being ofttimes noxious where they light 460 On man, beast, plant, wasteful and turbulent, Like turbulencies in the affairs of men, Over whose heads they roar, and seem to point, They oft fore-signify and threaten ill. Thou Spirit, who led'st this glorious Eremite Into the desert, his victorious field Against the spiritual foe, and brought'st him thence 10 By proof the undoubted Son of God, inspire, As thou art wont, my prompted song, else mute, And bear through highth or depth of Nature's bounds, With prosperous wing full summed, to tell of deeds Above heroic, though in secret done, And unrecorded left through many an age: Worthy to have not remained so long unsung.

  In the island in the river He was broken to his knee: And he read, writ with an iron pen, That God had wearied of Wessex men And given their country, field and fen, To the devils of the sea. The King went gathering Wessex men, As grain out of the chaff The few that were alive to die, Laughing, as littered skulls that lie

summary:
  As this essay is disposed to consider epic poetry as a species of literature, and not as a department of sociology or archaeology or ethnology, the reader will not find it anything material to the discussion which may be typified in those very interesting works, Gilbert Murray's The Rise of the Greek Epic and Andrew Lang's The World of Homer. The invention of epic poetry corresponds with a definite and, in the history of the world, often recurring state of society.

  Thus Spidala with wonder took good heed, To see what rider thence the path had brought, Who rode into the castle on his steed.- Aizkrauklis too from out the window sought To test of him his measure and his breed, As young Bearslayer reined within the court. Now Kangars spoke: Oh Spidala, you tell Of young Bearslayer in the pit, and show The gods protect him now and guard him well; This makes him even stronger as our foe.

  My loss was not through them, so their restoration does not grieve me; only that fallen man will be restored and not I. Thou deservest to grieve, tissue of lies that thou art! Charon, about whose eyes were wheels of flame, endeavored to drive the poet and his guide away as they stood among the weary and naked souls that gathered shivering on the margin of Acheron; but as a blast of wind and a burst of crimson light caused a deep sleep to fall on the poet, he was wafted across the river, and awaking he found himself in the Limbo of the Unbaptized, the first of the nine circles of hell, where were the souls of many men, women, and infants, whose only punishment was, without hope, to live on in desire.
