POETRY
An Ode in Time of Hesitation by William Vaughn Moody After seeing
at Boston the statue of Robert Gould Shaw, killed while storming Fort
Wagner, July 18, 1863, at the head of the first enlisted negro regiment,
the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts. Moody's poem, first published in 1900
and quickly famous, was inspired by the author's seeing Augustus Saint-
Gaudens' memorial to Robert Gould Shaw and the Massachusetts Fifty-
Fourth Regiment in Boston. The Mungo brothers were Italian
immigrants to New York, who specialized in the production of illuminated manuscripts,
particularly of patriotic subject matter.
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage was the poem which brought Lord Byron
public recognition. He himself disliked the poem, because he felt it
revealed too much of himself. In it a young man (called childe after the
medieval term for a candidate for knighthood) travels to distant lands to
relieve the boredom and weariness brought on by a life of dissipation. It
is thought to be a comment on the post-Revolutionary and -Napoleonic
generation, who were weary of war.
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún is a book
containing two narrative poems and related texts composed by English
writer J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published by Houghton Mifflin
Harcourt and HarperCollins on 5 May 2009. The two poems that make
up most of the book were probably written during the 1930s, and were
inspired by the legend of Sigurd and the fall of the Niflungs in Norse
mythology. Both poems are in a form of alliterative verse inspired by the
traditional verse of the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th
century. Christopher Tolkien has added copious notes and commentary
on his father's work.[1]
