Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Village: A Poem To My friends: I come again before you, and still hope to meet with your approbation. I have spent the Winter mouths gathering materials for this work, and have made it as perfect as I can, but I do not flatter myself that it is perfection yet, with every jewel fitly set, and it is said, the fairest flower and the purest gem, is not without some flaw of imperfection. I graduated with the click of the shuttle and the music of the jaquard in my ears, and my tutors were the lords of the looms, etc. They have gone the way of all the earth, but the new main building still stands, a monument of the founder - "His works, his monument, his blame or praise, While weavers wander through its crooked ways." But now I leave you; and, if it is not as perfect as it should be, let us all hope that some more able one will appear before long, a better representative of the "sacred nine," than your humble servant. And, shall we not all then greet him with a smile of approbation, and rejoice that the future is more full of the promise of fruition than the past? We shall have no grain of envy in it.
