Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Southampton and the Isle of Wight, Vol. 1 of 4: A Poem in Four Books I have always thought that a poem should be, what every man´s life ought to be, - bear inspection, and defy calumny, - thought it is not possible that either the one or the other should be free from occasional blemishes. Both the poet and his poem, therefore, should be children of nature, not of art. The poet should conceive, and his poem, reveal the whole family of his ideas; not of giants, and monsters, and impossibilities, - but of truth, beauty and love, as they exist in nature, and as they are unfolded to the thoughtful mind in the unerring operations of providence. A poem, therefore, should utter the noblest sentiments; should express the warmest admiration of the works and providence of God; should reprove vice, and reproach cruelty and injustice; should praise virtue - laud benevolence - soothe affliction - and comfort distress; it should maintain the obligations of religion, and insist on honesty, truthfulness and justice in all the transactions of life; it should dilate on the happiness of shewing compassion, exercising mercy, and frankly forgiving injuries, when any sincere sorrow is expressed for their infliction.
