About the Book Poetry is a form of literature that applies aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to elicit emotion and meanings in addition to, or in place of, the ostensible sound / meaning. The sonnet is of the most common forms of poetry, which was popular from the Late Middle Ages. By the 13th century the sonnet was standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme and logical structure. Odes were first developed by poets writing in ancient Greek, like Pindar, or in Latin, like Horace. Odes appear in many of the cultures that were influenced by Ancient Greece and Rome. An elegy is a melancholy mournful poem, which may be a lament for the dead.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

A WOODMAN came into a forest, and made a petition to the Trees to provide him a handle for his axe. The Trees, honored by his civility, acceded to his request, and held a consultation, to decide which of them should be given him. Without a dissenting voice, the choice fell upon the Ash, which, it seems, is not a favorite among the Trees. Some of them were bold enough to say that bad luck went with the Ash, and that at heart they were not bound to be in sympathy with woodcutters. The Woodman cut down the Tree, and fitted the handle to his axe; then, to the dismay of the Trees, set to work, and, with strong strokes, quickly felled all the noblest giants of the forest. Lamenting too late the fate of his companions, an old Oak said to a neighboring Cedar: "The first step has lost us all. If we had not so willingly given up the rights of the Ash, we might have stood for ages."
