Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collected Poems All that Edward Thomas was as a friend lies half-concealed in his poems. He wrote many books. A few of them - "Light and Twilight," "The Happy-Go-Lucky Morgans," the "Richard Jefferies," for instance - were of his own choice, after his own heart. Many of the others were in the nature of obligations thrust upon him. For to be able not to write for a living, but in happy obedience to the life within, it is necessary to gain a livelihood. Edward Thomas´s independence, his fine sense of literature, his love of truth, his delicate yet vigorous intuition are never absent even in his merest journey-work. Yet there cannot but be a vital difference in the thing done solely for its own sake. He toiled on, "Happy sometimes, sometimes suffering a heavy body and a heavy heart" under the grimmest disciplinarian a man can have - himself. Nevertheless his rarer faculties were obviously not such as can please a wide public; nor was he possessed of some of the admirable faculties that can and do. He was not a born story-teller; nor that chameleonic creature, a dramatist. He had little invention or fantasy. He detested mere cleverness; and compromise was alien to his nature. He could delight in "a poor man of any sort down to a king"; but the range is obviously exclusive and graduated.
