Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Odes in Contribution to the Song of French History: The Revolution, Napoleon, France, December, 1870, Alsace-Lorraine I Not yet had History´s Ætna smoked the skies, And low the Gallic Giantess lay enchained, While overhead in ordered set and rise, Her kingly crowns immutably defiled; Effulgent on funereal piled Across the vacant heavens, and distrained Her body, mutely, even as earth, to bear; Despoiled the tomb of hope, her mouth of air. II Through marching scores of winters racked she lay Beneath a hoar-frost´s brilliant crust, Whereon the jewelled flies that drained Her breasts disported in a glistering spray; She, the land´s fount of fruits, enclosed with dust; By good and evil angels fed, sustained In part to curse, in part to pray, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
