Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaves From an Invalid´s Journal: And Poems This volume is affectionately dedicated to the friends of E. N. G - ; because it would never have come into being, had not their unchanging love and true sympathy oftentimes kindled the ashes of a dead hope, and encouraged her to renewed exertions, both in the inner and the outer world; because they first suggested the idea of her collecting those little stray leaves, that she thought the breezes had scattered too widely apart, for her ever to trace their wanderings; and by instilling the spirit of faith and trust in her brothers and sisters, that should enable her to rise above that fear which had paralyzed her, whenever she thought of laying aside the veil of private life, which had heretofore proved as a shield, and of which one constituted like herself, shrinking from publicity, ever stands in need; - for, "life has been a hard battle with her, and like a bird with a broken wing, she would seek the covert of shady places." But she has grown strong. She has asked herself, what right had she to hope to escape severe criticism, if not unjust censure, when those most highly favored of the Muse - those who have gained the Olympian heights, and are soothed by the divine harmonies of that upper region - are often saddened by the tumult and jargon from below; and they are charged with "plagiarism," lack of common sense, of being foolishly romantic, and "hopelessly imbecile." Because, when weary and discouraged, she has ever found a resting place in their homes and their hearts. They have been like stars clustering near and shining brightly upon her pathway. They are among the exceeding great and precious gifts, for which her heart would daily offer up its gratitude to Heaven.
