Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The White Hills in Poetry: An Anthology This book had its birth in a conviction that it ought to be. It is not a guide-book, like Sweetser´s White Mountains, nor a book of nature descriptions, like Starr King´s White Hills; but simply a compilation of poetry, with the spirit of the White Hills as its thread of unity. The term "White Hills" is of course interpreted liberally. The book contains not only poems concerning the higher summits, but also poems concerning many outlying hills in the broad White Mountain area described by Sweetser as extending from the Connecticut to the Kennebec. It also includes poems on rivers and lakes; for the hills are the "cloud-cradles" of the streams, and, in the words of Lucy Larcom, "mountains do not know their own beauty anywhere but by a lakeside." Thus interpreted, the White Hills have inspired some of the best nature poetry in our literature; and it is hoped that this volume, in collating this literature for the first time, will make a strong appeal to all "playmates of the hills."
