Chappell gained a degree of fame with the publication of this poem in the Daily Express of 22 August 1914. The poem is addressed to the German people, and concerns the supposed toast among German army officers in the lead-up to the First World War, 'Der Tag' (i.e. 'the day' on which the war with England would commence). The poem is printed in portrait alignment on one side of a 14 x 8.5 cm postcard, within red and blue ink borders, giving a 'red white and blue' effect. Beneath the title in square brackets is the following: 'The author of this magnificent poem is Mr. Henry Chappell, a railway porter at Bath. Mr. Chappell is known to his comrades as the "Bath Railway Poet." A poem such as this lifts him to the rank of a national poet.' Printed text on the reverse includes: 'FOR INLAND POSTAGE ONLY' and 'LONDON "DAILY EXPRESS."' In good condition, on lightly-aged card, with minor repairs to one corner on reverse, and a small closed tear to one edge. Thirty-six lines, in six stanzas, with the first reading: 'You boasted the Day, and you toasted the Day, | And now the Day has come. | Blasphemer, braggart and coward all, | Little you reck of the numbing ball, | The blasting shell, or the "white arm's" fall, | As they speed poor humans home.' An attractive piece of First World War ephemera and propaganda. No other copy of this postcard has been traced.…

STORY: written during the era of First-wave feminism and is recognized for its revolutionary feminist politics. Some scholars have criticized the novel as overtly racist and exclusionist. The themes of love, marriage, motherhood, empire, and racialization feature in the novel through the main female character Lyndall's engagements with these issues. Some scholars have argued in favor of the transnational and transracial value of Lyndall's views and their applicability beyond the context of historical South Africa. She describes the differences in how men and women experience love:[Wiki]. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. …

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. On wove paper watermarked 'R TASSELL | 1831'. 56 lines, arranged in seven eight-line stanzas. Presentable, despite wear and age, closed tears along crease lines, and traces of yellow-paper mount on blank reverse of second leaf. There is no sign that this item was ever published, which is surprising, as it is a superior effort, written with some conviction, the subject being one on which Hollings was regarded as an authority. In 1839 he delivered to the Leicester Mechanics' Institute his authoritative paper titled 'The history of Leicester during the great civil war', which was published the following year by the Leicester firm Combe and Crossley. The first stanza of the present item reads 'The wakened day is streaming | Around the green hill's brow, | Where Autumn's sickly beaming | Has tinged the yellow bough: | Calm speeds the gentle river, | With sparkling glories bright; | And where the tall reeds quiver, | Each blade is bathed in light.' The last stanza: 'Mourn realm of meeds unfaded! | Mourn Land of pleasant hills! | Yon field which Eve hath shaded | Is but the sign of ills - | And for one House which weepeth, | A thousand shall lament, | Before the red sword sleepeth, | And Battle's wrath is spent - | [signed] J. F. Hollings'. A tiny note in the top left-hand corner, in a contemporary hand, reads: 'The battle was not [last word underlined] fought on Sunday, I think'. …

2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Thirty-nine lines, closely written. Signed 'Gilbert Thomas'. He begins by thanking him 'most warmly for your letter and the most kind and generous review to hand this morning. I tremendously appreciate the interest you have shown in Calm Weather, and your review has made me very happy, because I feel that you have really entered into the spirit of the book.' His wife is 'specially pleased that you have quoted some favourite sentences of hers - "Time may obscure our dreams," etc.' He is sure the review will be 'a considerable help to the book', and has 'already seen good notices in Everyman, Spectator, British Weekly, and (S. A. N. Monkhouse) in Manchester Guardian.' He has been told that there was also a 'good one' in the previous day's Daily Herald, but there are no reviews he will value more than his. He turns to personal matters, explaining that he has been 'very much rushed', and referring to his father's presence in 'a Hampstead hospital'. He hopes the Calverts can visit, and is very much looking forward to his novel. Postscript: 'I am so sorry that I stupidly made a mistake in your initial when autographing the book. My apologies! Have you ever read "Alpha of the Plough's" essay "On Being Called Thompson"?!'.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this powerful and honest collection, Wa'Shana Ricks-WARthePoet-invites readers into the depths of her heart with May We Never Meet Again. Through raw, lyrical verses, she explores the tangled journey of love, loss, grief, mental health, and the haunting shadows of suicidal ideation.Each poem is a courageous act of reflection and resistance, revealing how escapism can serve as both refuge and a canvas for creation. WAR doesn't shy away from the darkness-instead, she illuminates it with language that is both beautiful and brutal, crafting art from emotional survival.May We Never Meet Again is not just poetry-it is a testimony. A healing offering. A mirror for those who have loved, hurt, and hoped. This is poetry that pulsates with authenticity, capturing the silent battles and bold truths that live in us all.
