Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cofachiqui, and Other Poems The Meeting of De Soto and Cofachiqui. Of all the wild romances done or told, When first old Europe with the New World met, None had beginning brighter or more bold, Or saw its sun more darkly clouded set, Or of its hero´s crimes and faults the debt Demanded payment fuller and more dire, Than that begun on Tampa´s beach (while yet ´Twas music, sunshine, steeds, silk, steel and fire) And ended low and lone in Mississippi´s mire. As fresh and pleasant was the day As well might be at close of May So near the torrid belt. Fresh from the gulf the breezes blew For thirty leagues the pine woods through And with the odorous turpentine Deep-laden stirred the blood like wine And left the heat unfelt. Near where the belt of pine woods broke And merged into a greener wood Of sycamore.magnolia,oak And gum, an Indian village stood, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
