Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems: Original and Translated, Including the First Iliad of Homer Poetry is a drug, and a preface a bore, and yet here we have the twofold abomination. The drug-character of poetry is truism of some standing and yet not true: truism as touching all middling versifying in all its various degrees downwards, including the present volume; but false, as spoken of true poetry which can never relax its hold upon man´s heart, while hope, fear, love, the feelings and the passions, house therein. Witness the world-wide sensation kindled whenever some master-spirit takes the lyre in hand Such deep heart-haunting wonder as hath won By his weird songs the gifted Tennyson. With this passing protest on the qualified sense in which the poetry-drug dogma should be taken, may I be allowed to show cause for obtruding the double infliction, and explain first, wherefore the present volume at all? and secondly, wherefore with a preface? To which will the candid reader accept the following for an answer? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
