Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Name of Old Glory, Poems of Patriotism Hayes and Wheeler were President and Vice-President of these States when Indiana began to think and talk more about James Whitcomb Riley than about Hayes and Wheeler. The good, flat State had a poet, and her best people (that is, most of her people) knew it from the first: they realized the happiness and the beauty of the event. To great numbers of men and women who remember that discovery it is (in their memories) as if they had beheld the coming of a new and smiling brightness upon everything, like sunshine twinkling over a freshly showered landscape. Never gloomy or unfriendly people, or reserved with their emotions, the Hoosiers were happier, and showed it; they smiled oftener: they smiled whenever they spoke his name, or when they heard some one else speak it. This is not a figure of speech, or decoration, it is the literal fact, and the smiles were physical tokens. They are still there, moreover, and can be seen by any traveler to Indiana who speaks or hears spoken the name of James Whitcomb Riley. Nowadays, of course, those smiles are not Indiana´s alone; they have spread to wherever there are children, or honest folk who love a poet.
