Georgian : work of an assortment of British poets of early 20th century, mostly minor poets writing conventional lyric verse of late Romantic character.
... Poetry and Art Twentieth-Century Poetry Georgian Poetry The stanzas are not quite successful. [ Certain lines ] have too much a stamp of what I think was called Georgian poetry—though I suppose it would more properly be called late-Victorian-Edwardian-early-Georgian. The defect of that poetry is that it has a fullness of language which fails to go home—things ...
... manners: (1) a sort of decorative romantic manner that survives from your early days,—this at a lower pitch turns to too much dressiness of an ornamental kind, at a higher to post-Victorian, Edwardian or Georgian rhetoric with a frequent saving touch of Yeats; (2) a level at which all is fused into a fine intuitive authenticity and beauty, there is seldom anything to change; (3) a higher level of grander movement ...

... on the division of the spheres. Hitler counted on a quick defeat of Russia to invade, in the spring of the same year, West Asia, which would then serve as a springboard for reaching India.” 1164 “A Georgian historian, Professor Tskitishvili, mentions the Sonderstab F as a contingent that was given the task of marching to West Asia and India … This special force, which was a highly mechanized contingent ...
... y of diction which is wedded to a robustness of outlook. Indo-Anglian poetry had already entered the Decadent phase during the last quarter of the 19th century, the Page 222 Georgian phase about the third decade of this century and the modernist phase in the late thirties. Is there any point, then, in saying that romanticism ended with Sarojini Naidu? Did it end with her death ...
... beauty, if in the morning My eyes did not catch beauty, I would have peace. O Beauty fair goddess deign to be kind on my heart your worshipper. Rather milk-and-water Georgian stuff, this, sentimental though not devoid of all attraction. But in the same compilation we have also a poem of Sri Aurobindo's. In the Introduction to the part distinguished as "Poetry from India" ...

... is the poet-laureate. SRI AUROBINDO: Poet-laureate! Anybody can be a poet laureate. The only people of real worth to whom the title was given were Tennyson and Wordsworth. Masefield's poems are Georgian, full of rhetoric. PURANI: Thompson asked me to read the poems of Eliot. He was in ecstasy over them. I read them. I couldn't find anything there. Neither in Ezra Pound. I asked Amal's opinion ...
... Disciple : Perhaps, because he was the poet Laureate. Sri Aurobindo : Generally Poet-Laureates are uninteresting : Very few are like Wordsworth and Tennyson. Masefields' poems are Georgian rhetoric. Disciple : Do you remember Volsung Saga by William Morris? Sri Aurobindo : It is a very good poem; it is an exercise in Epic. I remember his Earthly Paradise which is ...

... pure vegetarians. Not only the average longevity of an ashramite is greater than the Indian average but the ashramites generally have better health than the people of the same age outside. In Georgia, a state in the U. S. S. R. it is nothing unusual to meet people above 100. The climate of the place added to dietary habits of the inhabitants accounts for this rather strange phenomenon. People who ...
... tolerate any kind of work like ours. Spirituality and liberty of conscience are impossible in their regime. The Socialists or perhaps the Communists may think that Stalin will give some autonomy as in Georgia or the Ukraine—but it is all humbug. Even in the Ukraine, their President was shot because he was too pro-Ukraine. I have been reading that book of astrology. But there is not much of astrology ...
... "aspirations." Warm Springs became, in fact, his winter home. More and more he came to love the bland, soothing Georgia sun and the gentle quality of the countryside. Oddly enough Eleanor Roosevelt was somewhat lukewarm about all this. She wrote early in 1926: ...My only feeling is that Georgia is somewhat distant.... One cannot, it seems to me, have vital interests in widely divided places, but that... confront the extraordinary capriciousness of history; or perhaps it was determined by fate ten thousand years ago that (a) a dilapidated hotel with an adjacent warm pool should exist at Warm Springs, Georgia; (b) Dr. Lovett should have found that swimming in warm water helped some of his patients; (c) Roosevelt became a friend of a New York banker named George Foster Peabody; (d) Peabody bought the Warm... whole Warm Springs property, hotel, cottages, pools, and all, with 1,200 acres of land, for use as a hydrotherapeutic centre; the institution was incorporated as a non-profit enterprise known as the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, and it has been functioning ever since. He himself put something like $200,000 into the enterprise, which was a substantial part of his total fortune. Lifelong Toll ...
... to 1920 more Russian Jews fled the country than ever chose revolution. In 1920 the highest proportion of minority peoples in the Bolshevik leadership were in fact Russians of German origin; Jews, Georgians and Armenians came next. The information fit no racial stereotype … The vast majority of politically active Jews favoured the Mensheviks [moderate socialists], who rejected Bolshevik dictatorship ...
... Hopkins and Fletcher and others and before that Meredith and Hardy and Francis Thompson. You can tackle any of them you can lay your hands on in the library. Watson and Brooke and other Edwardians & Georgians would not be good for you. October 16, 1938 [After making the corrections in my poem: 234 ] Ahem! What do you say to that? It seems to me that between us we have produced something ...
... from whatever quarter; but these alliances of pure interest, unless they find some more permanent support, are fragile and ephemeral combinations. Bolshevist Russia may set up Soviet governments in Georgia and Azerbaijan, but if these are only governments of occasion, if Sovietism does not correspond to or touch something more profound in the instinct, temperament and idea of these peoples, they are ...
