Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elisabeth of Roumania Madam, When I began this study the fame of Carmen Sylva - a second sun already risen behind the green Carpathians - was glimmering a bright beacon in the blue Orient. It is not strange that worshippers of nature - light, beauty, and genius - should be attracted by rays thrown so broadcast, and when my revered friend, the famous poet of the Danube, his Excellency the late Vasilie Alecsandri, spoke to me of Carmen Sylva, his words fell on a soil already fertilised by more than common affection. When your Majesty graciously permitted me to make some translations from the works of Carmen Sylva I felt a pardonable pride, and began the following work, which, I may say, although a labour of love, still falls all too far short of what I could have wished it to be. I have continued it, not alone as a token of that homage the world owes to genius, patience, and culture, but as a personal tribute - adding my heartfelt thanks for Carmen Sylva´s too generous praise of my own poor pen. It is a further testimony to personal appreciation, that of an amazed and faithful witness of such powers of brain, mind, and intellectual technique as few improvisatrici of the past could ever have possessed, and certainly such as not one of our day could aspire to possess.
