Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lord Beaconsfield: A Study It is usual to draw a decided distinction between politicians and literary men. There seem to be a great gulf between the men of action. Every one can bring forward instances to show that distinguished savans, orators, poets, and professors have shown a want of common sense or political. ability if they have left the path of literature for the career of a statesman. We have often seen political theories condemned to play but a subordinate part, or to exercise but a temporary influence, in the parliament if their country, and humanitarian poets, like Lamartine, who have wearied the national assembly with their lyrics, and whose political career has been confined to a single great moment. As a rule, then, eminent literary ability precludes political action, action, and vice versa, political action suppresses the development of literary action suppresses the development of literary powers.
