Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Child of the Nations Great priest of the moon-god, Ptah-Hotep called, Whose earthly body lies beside the stream Of Nile, near Memphis, but whose words of wisdom Live and find their way to many lands; Who after various incarnations here And elsewhere clos´d th´ circuit as the poet Homer, who from Chian isle did wander To Asiatic shores, where ´mid the scenes Of which he wrote he liv´d and died almost Unknown, yet lives to-day throughout the word, Rever´d and lov´d by all who know his verse; Who came, but not in earthly guise, to help Th´ Roman Vergil write the wand´rings of Æneas; yet not satisfied in giving Man these great, immortal poems, still Desir´d to pen another message when Th´ brain and hand made ready to receive Prophetic word should come: it is not strange That he should seek an instrument to-day On shores where liberty is larger than In other lands; nor that in coming to America a woman he should choose; For here a goddess holds the light as truly As the pole in Athens Pallas held. Why the great, immortal Homer came To me, I cannot tell; but when he came And how, I shall relate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
