Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eve of the Conquest: And Other Poems The Hon. Mrs. Henry Taylor. Dear Alice, thro´ much mockery of your´s (Impatient of my labours long and slow And small results that I made haste to show From time to time) you seomfuilest of reviewers, These verses worked their way: "Get on, get on," Was mostly my encouragement: But I Dead to all spurring kept my pace foregone And long had learnt all laughter to defy. I thought moreover that your laugh (for hard Would be the portion of the hapless Bard Who found not in each comment grave or gay Some Haltering unction)... In your laugh, I say, A subtle something glimmered; twas a laugh If half of mockery, yet of pleasure half. And since, on looking round, I know not who Will greet my offering with as good a grace. And in their favour give it half a place, These flights, for fault of better, short and few, Dear Alice, I must dedicate to you.
