Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Sacred Poetry: Of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries My late friend Me. James Montgomery observed after quoting some lines from King´s memorial of his wife, that he did not dare to offer a comment on the old-fashioned couplets, lest he should disturb the sanctity and repose which they were calculated to inspire. I share the apprehension. Our old Poems leave on the mind the same impression as our old Sermons. They are alike distinguished by intensity of purpose and naturalness of sentiment. We do not pray, was the complaint of Coleridge, with that entire, unsuspecting, childlike truthfulness which shines so beautifully in Jeremy Taylor and Andrews. And surely our praise and thankfulness rarely swell with the fervour and exultation which inflame the songs of Crashaw and Herbert. Nor is the elevation of thought, so conspicuous in our elder literature, commonly noticeable in the modern. Along the high argument of Spenser the spiritual ear is braced, as the traveller loses his deafness on the top of the Pyramid.
