Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Orations, Addresses and Speeches of Chauncey M. Depew, Vol. 2 Senator Depew stands as a unique figure among the speakers of the present day. During his visits to England and his meetings with royal personages, he was called an orator among princes. At home he is styled a prince among orators. There is scarcely a subject that has been discussed in public upon which he has not delivered addresses, but he is perhaps more intimately known to the general public by his after-dinner speeches. Humor has been a characteristics feature of these efforts and he has shown that he has acquired the highest virtue of the humorist - talking in fun and thinking in earnest. He fully appreciates the fact that in speech, wit is to eloquence what in music melody is to harmony. In the interchange of brilliant repartee soften heard when men are gathered about the banquet board to "fill the flowing bowl and mock the midnight hour" he has shown that to be amusing, it is not necessary to be coarse; to be witty one need not be offensive. The book which includes the after-dinner speeches will no doubt attain fully as large a circulation as those containing his serious public addresses.
