Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Last Poems: Including Afterglow and Beyond the Sunset The poems contained in this volume were written by my mother, Mrs. Dorr, during the last fifteen years of her life. "Afterglow" was published in 1900, and "Beyond the Sunset" followed in 1909. Nearly half of the poems in the latter volume were written between her eightieth and eighty-fifth birthdays, yet they are seldom retrospective and never regretful. She lived in the present and the future, and reaped from the blessed memories of the past inspiration and incentive to more eager and enthusiastic living. Although she had outlived her generation, she was accorded a place as contemporary with the three generations who had read her poems, for she kept herself so in touch and in sympathy with the younger writers, and with the modern progressive thought of the day, that she did not appear to belong with those of her own age. Her heart was keenly responsive to the call of life, of youth, of love, and of beauty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
