Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Powhatan a Metrical Romance; In Seven Cantos "Poetry is mere drug," say the publishers; "being us more poetry, it won´t sell." "Poetry is a terrible bore," say a majority of the dear public; "it is too high-flown; we can´t understand it." To all this, we are tempted to reply in the language of doctor Abernethy to one of his patients. The good old lady, when the doctor entered the room, raised her arm to her head, and drawing her face into a very painful expression, exclaimed," Oh, oh! O dear, Doctor, it almost kills me to lift my arm up so; what shall I do?" "Well, madam," said the doctor, gravely, "then you must be a very great fool to lift your arm up so." Leaving the reader to make the application, we hasten to deny the premises assumed by the publishers and a portion of the public. What they say, is not true of poetry; it is in direct contradiction to the experience of the world in all ages and all nations, for thousands of years. But it may be true, and is true, of endless masses of words that are poured forth from the press under the name of poetry.
