Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sydney Dobell, Vol. 1 The Poet whose work is for the first time, in a proximately complete form, brought before the public, has been removed from us under circumstances which devolve on those who were privileged with his Companionship the duty of endeavouring to supplement the somewhat fragmentary impressions of his career. Mr. Sydney Dobell died on August 22 in his fifty-first year; his literary fame was achieved before his thirtieth; his literary labours may be said to have well nigh closed with his thirty-fifth. Two longer poems and a volume of minor pieces, making the greater bulk of what he has left behind him, are the product of comparative youth, but bear the stamp of an original and singularly subtle mind, and exhibit sufficient power to continue to affect the thoughts and sympathies of his contemporaries. Passing in his prime, he has yet lived through fifteen years of enforced silence - his brilliant promise having been cruelly curtailed: by physical disaster - into a new atmosphere of the rapidly shifting cloud-strata of nineteenth century criticism. ´Preterit dies diem.´ Every decade has its standards, idols, aversions and neglects.
