Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Scottish Poets: With Biographical and Critical Notices We have pleasure in announcing that, after not a little effort and correspondence, we have been privileged to give in this series of " Modern Scottish Poets " a number of valuable biographical sketches of popular authors, who have not, however, been hitherto known as poets. Here, also, will be found many less known present-day " makkars " who have written with much sweetness, pathos, and power. The great dead counsellor, who lies among his humble kinsfolk in the churchyard of Ecclefechan, gives perhaps the best definition of the nature and purpose of poetry, and the mission and character of poetry, and the mission and character of the poet, when he says ; " Poetry, were it the rudest, so it be sincere, is the attempt which man makes to render his existence harmonious. It may be called the music of his whole manner of being ; and, historically considered, is the test how far the feeling of love, of beauty and dignity, could be elicited from that peculiar situation of his, and from the views he there had of life and nature, of the universe, internal and external.
