Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute to Bayard Taylor: An Essay and Poem As we listened a few evenings since to the thoughtful essay "On the influence of Chaucer upon our English tongue and our English thought" which was read by Mrs. Long, the accomplished Secretary of this Society, my attention, which naturally had been drawn to the life and works of the late Bayard Taylor, was attracted to a consideration of the incidents in the story of the lives of these two poets, and to the likeness and unlikeness which could be traced between the career of this brilliant "Morning Star" of English Literature that rose so fair and still shines so brightly across the dark of four centuries, and that of our American Poet, whose recent sudden death has saddened so many hearts. It has seemed to me fitting that some notice should be taken here, in this, "The Literary Society" of our Country´s Capital, of the great loss which has come, through this too early death, to our English tongue, to the world´s treasure of literature, and to the literary fame of America, and I have made bold to prepare, as my requisite contribution to the papers to be read before the Society, a simple tribute to the memory of Bayard Taylor, Poet, Traveller, Editor, and Diplomatist. Between these two poets in their entrance upon life there existed great disparity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
