Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Traherne: 1636?-1674; From the Original Manuscripts; With a Memoir of the Author To G. Thorn Drury My youth was ever constant to one dream, Though hope failed oft - so hopeless did it seem, That in the ripeness of my days I might Something achieve that should the world requite For my existence; for it was a pain To think that I should live and live in vain: And most my thoughts were turned towards the Muse Though long she did my earnest prayers refuse, And left me darkling and despairing; then By happy chance there came within my ken A hapless poet, whom - I thank kind fate! - It was my privilege to help instate In that proud eminence wherein he shines Now that no more on earth he sadly pines. This was a fortune such as I must ever Be thankful for - yet still ´twas my endeavour, With what, I hope, was no unworthy zeal, My life-work with some other deed to seal, And lo! when such a dream might well seem vain, Propitious fate smiled on me once again, And through the mists of time´s close woven pall A glint of light on one dim form did fall, Which, as I gazed more earnestly, became A living soul, discovered by the flame Of glowing inspiration which possessed Even now, as when he lived the poet´s breast.
