Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Benigna Vena: Essays, Literary and Personal Ballade of Futility. (In Lieu of Preface to this Book.) Alack for the fate that comes to all Brain-wearied wights of the scribbling trade! Sib are they to Oblivion´s pall, A circle in water, dust and shade. Was it for this such stress they made To scale the slippery peaks of fame, Only to see their visions fade - Back to the night from whence they came? Dear God! the struggle through barren years, The hope deferred and the waiting long, And for a guerdon of all their tears, A briefer date than an idle song. For not to these do the heights belong, Where the throned bards made glad acclaim, But Charon´s curse and his bitter thong - Back to the night from whence they came. For this they bartered their earthly peace, And let the sweetness of life go by; Nor recked while they saw the moons decrease, And the tides of being run scant and dry: - Yea, even when Death himself drew nigh, Him would they welcome, nor harshly blame, Seeing the Portal of Victory - Back to the night from whence the came!
