Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland: A Poem There is a lovely island which is washed by the bright waves of the Atlantic. There is such a charm lingering around its classic ground that whoever has ever fixed his eyes upon its calm scenery, can never - never forget Ireland. So great is the antiquity of its institutions, that when the ruin lay like a thunder cloud on the horizon of the Roman Empire, and the Goths and Vandals rolled their barbarian hordes over the Campania, and swept Italy with the besom of destruction, the sweet Emerald Isle was a refuge for the learned and virtuous of other countries. The terror of a falling nation never reached this sequestered and beautiful island; the shrieks of the victims were lost in the wild passes and glens of the Alps, save when the demon hordes, like an avalanche, broke from the eternal brow of the mountains, and shook the vallies of northern Europe. How pleasant here to recognize the beginnings of literary distinction - the ardent love of letters that has ever distinguished the Irish nation!
