Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Songs of England and Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 Poetry, Music, and Painting, are universally acknowledged to be the early offspring of all nations, even in their rudest state, "wherever language is found," says Mr. Southey, "verse of some kind or other is found also;" and the great Dryden has said, that "mankind even the most barbarous, have the seeds of poetry implanted in them." Music, I may add, had its origin at the same time, but painting was of somewhat later growth, when knowledge was greater and refinement more extensive: "Our arts are sisters, though not twins in birth, For songs were sung in Eden´s happy earth" - so the author of Absalom and Achitophel, wrote to Sir Godfrey Kneller. It is remarked by Ritson, that "all writers agree in speaking of song as the most ancient species of poetry, its origin," he adds, "is even thought to be coeval with mankind."
