Poems of Rupert Brooke by Rupert Brooke
A Fathers Hand: Lessons for Life from Father to Son, is a moving, spiritual, and very important gift from Dad. This is not a book of demands, but gentle reminders that his son has choices in life and that, with this guide, these choices might be wiser and more humane. Like the five fingers of a hand, Dad touches upon five points of behavior. For example, wisdom regarding knowledge and integrity, temperance of passion and possessions, industry in work, love of wife, family, and society, and harmony in the blending of past, future, and self. What is the central and essential message of this book? Dad reminds his son that we are all empowered to make choices in our lives, and making the right choice requires awareness, confidence, compassion, and a relationship with our God. For fathers who wish their sons to grow into good and compassionate men, this book is an important beginning. Ambiguously authored for Dads to take ownership, this book bridges the communication gap between fathers and sons by providing a non-intrusive way for Dads to get many essential messages across without the drama, at their Son's convenience. It also is a great resource for single-parent Moms who wish to convey fatherly advice to growing young men.
A member of the generation of British poets who achieved fame during World War I, Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) burst on the literary scene when two of his war sonnets (The Dead and The Soldier) were published in London's Times Literary Supplement on March 11, 1915. Less than two months later his 1914 and Other Poems was published and went through 24 impressions by June, 1918. After being inducted into the British Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Brooke sailed on a Navy ship in February, 1915, heading toward the fighting at Gallipoli in Turkey. He died shortly thereafter, at age 27, on a French hospital ship moored off Skyros in the Aegean Sea from sepsis derived from an infected mosquito bite. Brooke was buried in an olive grove on Skyros.
