Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poets of America: With Occasional Notes They are generally simple and unpretending in ornament, quiet and unambitious in tlieir spirit. The poetiy of devotion is the rarest of all poetry. Il is sad to tliiuk how few, of all the poets in the Eng ish language, have possessed or exhibited the Christian character, or had the remembrance of their names associated with the thoughts of Chiist and his cross, or the feelings to which the great theme of redemption gives rise in the bosom of the Cliristian. We may find plenty of tlie sentimentahty of rehgion, expressed, too, m beautiful language but as cold as a whiter nights transitory fi ost-work on our windows. A few beloved volumes, mdeed, have theuplace in the heart; but they are few; and of these the praise belongs not exclusively to the genius of poetiy, but to a far more precious and elevated spuit the spuit of the Bible. What bosom, tliat possesses tliis, does not contain the germ of deep poetiy? What poet has experienced its influence, whoso song does not breathe an echo of the melodies of paradise? Ill the tiTje minstrelsy of devotion, there is a higher excellence tlian that of mere genius. Poetiy herself acKnowledges a power which is not mher, and obsei-ves a deep and subhme emotion excited, wliich she cannot, unassisted, produce or maintain in the souls of her hstenei s.
