Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Soul´s Destroyer and Other Poems The Soul´s Destroyer London! What utterance the mind finds here! In its academy of art, richer Than that proud temple which made Ophir poor, And the resources famed of Sheba´s Queen. And its museums, hoarding up the past, With their rare bones of animals extinct; And woven stuffs embroidered by the East Ere other hemispheres could know that Peace Had trophies pleasanter to win than War; The great man, wrought to very life in stone - Of genius, that raises spirits that It cannot lay until their will is wrought - Till in their eyes we seek to wander awed, Lost in the mind´s immensity, to find The passage barred, the spirit gone away. And not without sweet sounds to hear: as I Have heard the music, like a hiding child, Low chuckling its delight behind a wall, Which, with a sudden burst and joyous cry, Out leapt and on my heart threw its sweet weight - When strolling in the palace-bounded parks Of our great city on a summer´s morn. Now, one who lives for long in London town Doth feel his love divided ´tween the two - A city´s noise and Nature´s quiet call: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
