Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pygmalion in Cyprus: And Other Poems It has been said - and is daily repeated - that new rhymers are an intrusion in literature; and that poets, properly so called, appear but once or twice in a century; or - in the case of the highest of poets - once in a thousand years. Must no bird sing in the forest because the nightingale is known to live there; no bird twitter in the sunlight because the lark has saluted the god of day? I am one of those who believe in the mission of the fire-fly and the glow-worm, albeit contrasted with the stars their position in creation is very humble; and I believe that in the literature of ray country there is room for writers such as I am. The dear old land which gave me birth, whose language I speak, whose laws I obey, whose Queen I reverence, is my England too. I also have stood face to face with nature; and for me, as for others, has the sun risen. Joys and sufferings have been mine, as other men´s.
