Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Henry J. McKay This book of poems is the result of several years of intermittent glimpses at the wonders and beauties of nature, lying at our own doors, and of the strivings of the spirit within the writer as he felt their influence upon his thought and life. Wausau is truly a city beautiful for situation, with a chain of blue-coated hills surrounding it, while down through the broad valley in which it lies, the sparkling waters of the pretty Wisconsin River flow, cutting the city in twain, and reaching their climax of beauty at Big Bull Palls. Southward the river still winds its way, lapping the forest fringe at the bases of Rib and Mosinee hills, and receiving into its heaving bosom the Big Rib and Eau Claire rivers. Beauty is to be found everywhere, and the hand of the Creator has truly traced the beautiful upon our hills and in our valleys. In the busy years of pioneer settlement, there was little time for poetical inspiration, and it was left to the pen of a later generation to describe the scenes which remain in one´s memory as pleasing remembrances. The author hopes that his efforts may now quicken others to more deeply appreciate our beautiful surroundings.
