Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Breath of the World Critics Kind friends, whose words of praise so free Have been my solace midst of careless men, Enkindling heart and brain, when else my pen Had wandered idly from sweet verse, here see The work your favor wrings afresh from me! And if a late repentance ripens when These numbers you peruse, be kind again, For now too late your lashes I should flee. A wonder ´t were, if guides such as ye are, Trained in good books and words arranged with art, Should be quite wrong, and all your subtle care Did but misfit you to play well your ∂ So, I, the happy subject of your praise, Once more adventure into public gaze. The Sonnet The sonnet is a wine-cup whence should rise Aromas fine and delicate as those Of choice Vesuvian vintage named for woes Of sad Gethsemane, that banish sighs; Or it may be a clarion´s voice that cries In thrilling tones a battle ´gainst man´s foes, Or a slim flute´s clear tone that comes and goes Where gladness fills the air with melodies; Or it may be love´s royal, lotus flower Expanding in full splendor when fresh youth, Glowing with passion´s fervor, crowns the hour Which has no rival in our life forsooth; Or it may be the hearse where starkly lies Life´s glory or loves fatal sacrifice.
