Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Characters in Outline and Other Poems A Reluctant Jacobite An unconsidered unit of that band Which gave its worldly substance to achieve A brief success for Charles Edward´s arms, Following its constellation from afar, Had plunged from contemplative country life Into the twofold war of pen and sword, And sternly parted bonds of heart and home To grant to his convictions recompense, For they had summoned him to speak and act. He sought the camp, although to him in truth Dearer by far the snowdrop´s innocence, The holy inspiration of the hills, The gentle worship of the cloistered dove, The silent pathos of the mountain tarn. Full soon the rebels scatter like a crowd Of winged thistle-seeds in wind, whereon Began pursuit and oft by beck, on moor Were tragedies enacted of resistance.
