Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Poems of the Rt. Rev. George Burgess, D. D: Bishop of Maine; With an Introduction Though I cannot suppose that the poems of Bishop Burgess need any Preface from my and, I feel it a privilege, at the request of a friend whom I knew first among the scenes of early youth, in New York, and afterwards as his wife, and with whom I now profoundly condole as his widow - to express, in few words, my views of their great excellence. The poetry of the departed prelate is not that of ambitious worldly genius; nor is it the mere idle strain of educated mind and elegant leisure. It is the poetry of the soul, under the guidance of feeling and taste; but more especially, inspired by love to God and love to Man. If, as in his patriotic songs, any harsher element can be discerned, it is only when a sense of right and a call of duty seem, to the poet, at least, to bid him imitate the indignant zeal of his Master, and to use "the whip of small cords," which He who was "meek and lowly" yet found himself forced to fashion and to wield.
