About the Book Poetry is a literary form that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to enhance the prosaic ostensible meaning, or generate an alternative meaning. Poetry uses numerous devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poetry's long history dates back to prehistorical times ehen hunting poetry was created in Africa. Also in this Book Poetry as an art form predates written text, with the earliest poetry having been recited or sung, and employed as a way of remembering oral history. The oldest examples of epic poetry include the Epic of Gilgamesh from Bablylon and the Greek epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the Indian Sanskrit epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The longest epic poems in history were the Mahabharata and the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar. Aristotle's Poetics considered that there were three genres of poetry—the epic, the comic, and the tragic. Later aestheticians identified: epic poetry, lyric poetry, and dramatic poetry. One of the most popular form since the Late Middle Ages, is the sonnet, which by the 13th century had become standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme scheme. The form had crystallized further by the 14th century and the Italian Renaissance, under the guidance of Petrarch.

Lucius Harwood Foote was born at Winfield, New York, son of Lucius and Electa (Harwood) Foote. His father, a Congregational minister, held pastorates in New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Young Lucius attended Knox College and Western Reserve but did not graduate from either.
Because of a restless temperament he could not confine himself to the routine of school work. In 1853, the lure of the West led him to join a group of young men who were going overland to California. There he took up the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in 1856, and the same year began a four-year term as municipal judge of Sacramento.
He was adjutant-general of California 1872-76 and in the latter year was a delegate to the Republican National Convention.
On March 3, 1879, “General” Foote, as he was known after having served as adjutant-general, was commissioned consul at Valparaiso, Chile. The American minister, Kilpatrick, having died December 2, 1881, the son of Secretary of State Blaine was named charge, but Foote was actually in charge of the legation from March 22 to July 31, 1882. Early in August he returned home on leave. On February 5, 1883, while still in the United States, he was sent to Aspinwall, Colombia, on a special consular mission.
While he was on this mission, he was appointed to a more important charge. The treaty just negotiated between the United States and Korea (1882) called for the exchange of diplomatic representatives, and Foote, with the rank of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, was commissioned by President Arthur for the post (Feb. 27, 1883).
With Mrs. Foote, he arrived in Korea May 13, the first minister from a Western power accredited to that country. The tension between Japan and China over Korea made the mission a difficult one. During the days of bloodshed which followed the coup d’état of December 1884, he was zealous in his efforts to protect foreigners.
The Japanese government expressed appreciation for his “brave and humane conduct” during the revolt. Foote also received thanks from the Chinese government but there is no record of commendation from his own.
He was notified on July 14, 1884, that Congress had reduced the rank of the post in Korea to that of minister resident and consul-general, with no change in salary. He was offered ai commission in this capacity but he declined, stating that, “to these people, proud that the United States should have sent to them a Minister of the first rank, it is impossible to explain the reasons for the change without leaving the most unfortunate impressions. ”
In reply the Department of State asked him to take his departure on leave, so that it would be unnecessary to explain. Leaving Chemulpo January 19, 1885, he and Mrs. Foote returned to the United States by way of Tokio, where they were received by the Emperor. As a result of the strain of these experiences in Korea, Mrs. Foote died soon after their return. Thereafter Foote did not reenter public life.
