Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poems of Annie Hawthorne (Eliza Ann Horton) From the deeps of the dim Unknown, radiant with the splendour of the gods two mysterious figures steal silently through the mist of the morn upbearing an heaven-born Spirit, whose eternal years, but a moment born, have not been sullied by the fears that men make to mar their lives. As the sun comes up and the shadow´s flee apace the Spirit is slowly raised to an height above the reach of ordinary men and "just a little lower than the angels." The veiled faces of the forms unknown turn quickly, and are gone. Men say in rejoicing that a child is born; but the angels in awe-stricken silence whisper, "A Soul!" and bow their heads. There are stars that for ages have shown unseen; and the music of the spheres only rare souls hear. Few are the men, who having eyes have seen the light, who having ears have heard the sweetly-sung soul-strains of this Spirit of nine decades. There is no path nor walk of common life where her voice is not heard. If she croons above the cradle, she also weeps with those that weep. If she inspires youth, she gives courage to the disheartened elders. If it is dark, she is the light. If all is sad, hers is the song. Though her viol has but four strings she sounds the whole harmony of the soul. There are no stops she has not drawn.
