Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Poetry Prose These lines were written October 8, 1883, upon the fly leaf of a copy of the late Marc Cook´s poems. They seem singularly appropriate as a prelude to this collection of Mr. Bachman´s own verses. As in the bosom of some wildwood flower, Poisons and honey lie mingled, while each breeze, Redolent with perfumes, doth reveal its bower To the keen senses of plundering bees, That swiftly to its rich-hued portals come, Deftly dispart the nectar from its heart, And, bearing thence innoxious burdens home, Leave all untouched that other - deadlier ∂ So here (for there are stored some precious words That sadly voice this poor dead poet´s worth, Now merry with the twittering song of birds, Again sad-scented with the grave´s dank earth), May´st thou naught but pure pleasure cull, Sweeter than e´er embalmed immortal´s breath; Of Love, if yet Life´s radiant moon wax full, Or waning to its curved sickle - sweets of Death. Strange things we meet in such a book as this, For life is strange. Ere its fleet hours elapse, We love, we sing, we sigh, - and then we die! What´s left? Forsooth, ´tis but a "Book of Scraps!"
