Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Songs of University Library Zionist Anthology Copyright The strength of a nation is marshalled into being by its storytellers, poets, prophets and propogandists. The process may be long but the result is sure. The poet himself may not be able to measure the effect of his song, for the response in his own generation is seldom adequate. But time is the ally of all good causes, and, in the appointed season, their seed must sprout. The printing of a book of the general character of these "New Songs of Zion", therefore, must belong in the first rank of practical measures. This collection of verse has not been gathered in this form on account of its merit as poetry or to parade what has been accomplished in the indiscriminate field of general Jewish verse. These verses have been culled with an eye single to the aim of calling up to the reader the heroic image of the Jew struggling to regain his place among the nations in order to be true to himself and keep faith with the world. The "New Songs" here offered are not complete. Nevertheless, the collection is peculiarly valuable in that it represents an attempt to embody the aspirations of the Jewish National Movement as they have been expressed, chiefly, through the medium of latter-day verse, and is the most inclusive in this field that I have yet seen in the English language. In concluding this "Foreword" I have been asked to write, I can only add that it is my hope that the great waves of our national movement will carry the words of this book into the hearts of our people, and may not the answer to the call prove long in coming.
