Die Worte des Glaubens - Ballade 1797: Drei Worte nenn ich euch, inhaltschwer, Sie gehen von Munde zu Munde, Doch stammen sie nicht von außen her, Das Herz nur gibt davon Kunde, Dem Menschen ist aller Wert geraubt, Wenn er nicht mehr an die drei Worte glaubt.

Schillers Ballade „Der Graf von Habsburg“ entstand 1803 und gehört zu seinen spätestens lyrischen Arbeiten. Auf den Stoff stieß er bei den Vorarbeiten zu Wilhelm Tell, als er sich mit der Geschichte der Schweiz befasste. Für Schiller eher eigentümlich setzt er hierin ganz auf die christliche Anschauung, dass ein tugendhaftes, gottesfürchtiges Leben noch auf Erden Belohnung findet.

First published in the Bulletin in the nineties, Paterson's verse has enjoyed enduring success throughout Australian literary history. Paterson had an intimate knowledge of life in the outback: he knew bushmen and he knew horses. His boundary riders and shearers, his buckjumpers and station hands, are real characters—the first realistic portraits of Australians in the bush at work and play to appear in verse. Many of the characters he created have so imprinted themselves on the public imagination that they have become part of Australian folklore.

Paradiso is the third and final part of The Divine Comedy, Dante's epic poem describing man's progress from hell to salvation. In it, the author progresses through nine concentric spheres of heaven. Corresponding with medieval astronomy, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn deal with the four cardinal virtues Prudence, Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance. The remaining two spheres are the fixed stars and the Primum Mobile, containing the purely virtuous and the angels, followed by the Empyrean, or God itself.

John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment.

For the religious amongst us, this annual celebration of the Birth of Christ must seem bitter sweet: it's acknowledgment by billions of people countered by the pervasive spread of material possessions translating the event to little more than a sales pitch for material wares.

Now as an adult, some of those memorized verses, can be interpreted differently than I remember, however, I cannot help but be transported back to a time of childhood innocence, whenever they come to mind. I have selected several of my favorites verses for this book, and I hope that they will continue to delight and inspire, young and old, for generations to come.

А красота и величие человека- в лучших качества, которыми он может обладать: честность, правдивость, справедливость и благородство, скромность и трудолюбие, щедрость и самопожертвование во имя любви, вера и милосердие, мудрость и величие духа.
