Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Odin´s Last Hour, and Other Poems I offer no apology for the publication of this volume. The constitutional clause that secures liberty of the press to the people of these United States, secures it to me as an Irish-American. While science and philosophy appeal pre-eminently to the intellect, the fine arts, of which poetry is chief, appeal pre-eminently to the sensibilities. They may appeal with alluring force or commanding power. In virtue of the influence poetry exerts over both the feelings and the intellect, it will picture men and natural scenes ideally, that is, consistently, and with just proportions. It is therefore used by the finest educators as a means of the highest culture, as well as the purest and loftiest pleasure. As is evident, the pieces which compose this little book are very various. Those who do me the honor of perusing it, will find lyrical pieces - some of them in the Ulster patois - several patriotic pieces, having reference either to this country or to Ireland, - some that are pathetic, side by side, perhaps, with others that are humorous. A few are steeped in folk lore, a few take their burdens from history, and a considerable number take their inspiration from religion; besides an additional, unclassed variety.
