Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Snow-Bound: And Other Autobiographic Poems When Mr. Whittier, a few years before his death, supervised the definitive Riverside edition of his Poems, he classified them under several heads, among them being Poems Subjective and Reminiscent. In this group he placed Snow-Bound, Memories, "Ego," "The Barefoot Boy," "My Psalm," "In School-Days," Response, To my Sister, and others which were now disclosures of himself with the frankness of a Friend bearing testimony, now vivid recollections of the early years of his life; for as with poets in general, Memory often beckoned Imagination to come and sit in the cool shade of youth. Though this section of his Poems is thus purposely autobiographic in character, all of the divisions, "Personal," "Anti-Slavery," "Poems of Nature," "Songs of Labor and Reform," "Religious Poems," "Narrative and Legendary Poems," "Occasional Poems, "At Sundown," are characterized by that strong personal element which has endeared Whittier to readers because the man, genuinely humbly in spirit, was yet so at one with God, nature, and humanity that he spoke and sang clearly in his own voice, never in falsetto, always as one upon whom as on an instrument the spirit of truth played from the lowest note to the top of his compass.
