Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Deck of the Crescent City: A Picture of American Life An American, who, had he lived in England, would no doubt have added himself, by copious fruits of meditation and fancy, to the illustrious line of great English poets, but whose life, being cast in a country not ripe to enjoy "divine philosophy," and its "perpetual feast of nectared sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns," has been one of comparative silence, yet whose deep-toned harp breathes into many ears inspiring cadences, and grieves hearts also with the sure conviction, that, in time to come, the stifling of such music will bring upon the land more just ignominy than can be compensated in honor by all the swift yachts, patent locks, six-barrelled revolvers, steamships without bow sprits, and metropolitan hotels, that can be invented between now and the Day of Judgment.
