Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Candle-Light and Other Poems The author purposes to produce a collection of poems under the general title of "Portraits From Life," in which will be treated actual events or incidents that may be worthy of recording. That such incidents are not wanting, daily experience furnishes abundant evidence. Should we, then, neglect the sublime and the beautiful or even the ugly and terrible, because they are coexistent with us? On the contrary, nothing more concerns man than Man. For if we attempt to look into his life we behold there Infinity, and when we look into his soul we perceive the sublimity of Heaven on the one hand and the depravity of Hell on the other. When, therefore, we present, however slightly, to our discerning minds some passages of the universal drama, in varying degrees, now comical and now tragical, that is being uninterruptedly enacted on the stage of the world, we at once treat of a subject a grander or more important than which there is not.
