Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Indian Legends Other Poems At odd hours during an active and busy life I have dallied with the Muses. I found in them, in earlier years, rest from toil and drudgery and, later, relief from physical suffering. Broken by over-work and compelled to abandon the practice of my profession - the law, I wrote Pauline after I had been given up to die by my physicians. It proved to be a better ´medicine´ for me than all the quackeries of the quacks. It diverted my mind from myself and, perhaps, saved my life. When published, its reception by the best journals of this country and England was so flattering and, at the same time, the criticisms of some were so just, that I have been induced to carefully revise the poem and to publish my re-touched Pauline in this volume. I hope and believe I have greatly improved it. Several of the minor poems have been published heretofore in journals and magazines; others of equal or greater age flap their wings herein for the first time; a few peeped from the shell but yesterday. I am aware that this volume contains several poems that a certain class of critics will condemn, but they are my "chicks" and I will gather them under my wings. "None but an author knows an author´s cares, Or Fancy´s fondness for the child she bears." - Cowper. Much of my life has been spent in the Northwest - on the frontier of civilization, and I became personally acquainted with many of the chiefs and braves of the Dakota and Ojibway (Chippewa) Indians.
