Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vital Thoughts, and Others Poems, Vol. 1 Proem. Now, to the mighty literary sea, Whose tides so long have grandly ebbed and flowed On the far-stretching shores of time and change, - Now agitated by a tidal swell Of some great heart and nobly stirring mind, Surging in potent splendor far and wide, And casting on the sands of centuries, Its shining gems and pearls of hallowed worth; Now by some lesser, yet a worthy force, Whose billows move in measured majesty In all directions o´er the throbbing deep. Until along the divers´ distant shores, Forever broke against the rocks of time; And now by a still lesser influence ´Tis moved, and on its ample surface bears The little ripples, sparkling sweetly through, And, least of all, its bubbles and its foam - To this I add my contribution now, And if it´s but a bubble, soon ´twill burst And vanish on the surface where it formed, Nor reaching the contending sands and rocks. Not in the shadow of academies, Not in the shade of laurels and diplomas, Were formed the trifles that I now submit, But they were framed beneath the heavenly dome Of Nature´s blessed school and theatre; Here in this mighty temple and divine, I found the pith and passion of my song: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
