Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Echoes of Half a Century Poems The author of the following verses frankly owns that he once indulged the hope of seeing them gathered from the various periodicals in which they originally appeared, and issued in book form; but for a long time past, that pleasing vision had been dispelled by the stern realities of later life. He solaced himself for its loss, however, with the reflection that literary fame, like all other, is only for the favored few; and even those with the highest endowments have been so anticipated by their predecessors, that they can expect to add but little that is rare or memorable to the vast treasury of original thought. Humbly accepting his just place among the innumerable inheritors of oblivion, he had ceased to remember the foundlings of his fancy, when the fond partiality of his kindred took in hand the task of rescuing them from their long obscurity, and of soliciting for their reunion such chance for further life, as their collected vitality might seem to warrant.
