SUGGESTED READINGS WITH QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Blake.--Some of his best poems are given in Ward, IV., 601-608; Bronson, III., 385-403; Manly, I., 301-304; _Oxford_, 558-566; _Century_, 485-489, and in the volume in _The Canterbury Poets_. Point out in Blake's verse (_a_) the new feeling for nature, (_b_) evidences of wide sympathies, (_c_) mystical tendencies, and (_d_) compare his verses relating to children and nature with Wordsworth's poems on the same subjects. Cowper.--Read the opening stanzas of Cowper's _Conversation_ and note the strong influence of Pope in the cleverly turned but artificial couplets. Compare this poem with the one _On the Receipt of my Mother's Picture_ or with _The Task_, Book IV., lines 1-41 and 267-332, Cassell's _National Library, Canterbury Poets_, or _Temple Classics_ and point out the marked differences in subject matter and style. What forward movement in literature is indicated by the change in Cowper's manner? _John Gilpin_ should be read for its fresh, beguiling humor. For selections, see Bronson,[28] III., 310-329; Ward, III., 422-485; _Century_, 470-479; Manly, I., 285-294. Burns.--Read _The Cotter's Saturday Night, For a' That and a' That, To a Mouse, Highland Mary, To Mary in Heaven, Farewell to Nancy, I Love My Jean, A Red, Red Rose_. The teacher should read to the class
