Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Helps to Make Ideals Real "Still, through our paltry stir and strife, Glows down the wished Ideal, And Longing moulds in clay what Life Carves in the marble Real!" "The true ideal is not opposed to the real, nor is it any artificial heightening thereof, but lies in it, and blessed are the eyes that find it." - Lowell. Not long ago we read this sentence in a letter of a friend from Florence, "I can see sunshine gilding the distant heights, but I am standing at the very foot." The same winter, when walking in the outskirts of our city, an errand- boy passed us, basket on arm. He ran on in front, and every now and then rested his notebook on the wall to draw pictures. He also had an ideal. Bishop Westcott says: "The vision of the Ideal guards monotony of work from becoming monotony of life." We may smile at our children on the nursery floor enacting the scenes of daily life, the buying and selling, the borrowing and lending; but were our thoughts laid open, how many of our castles in the air have also as yet "no ladders to earth." We are in our turn seeking to imitate the great and the good, whose inspiration we have caught. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
