Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 93 Art. I. - Reports of the Commissioner of the General Land-Office, 1858, 1859, 1860. Washington: Printed by the Public Printer. We have thought that literature - especially periodical literature - bestows its honors upon abstract and ancient topics to the neglect of the practical things of the present. It seems to recognize more dignity and importance in the controversies and strifes of barbaric nations, if time has only covered them with its venerable veil, than in the realities of our own day. The fine frenzy of the poet rarely condescends to people present scenes with its fair images; what little he gives us about contemporary men and things, is apt to be rhyme without inspiration. But this was not always so. It was a wise stroke of statesmanship in Augustus when he induced Virgil to write the Georgics. The charming pictures of the serene enjoyments of agricultural life which the great poet drew, inflamed the Roman people with new zeal for the labors of the soil, and once again restored fertility and verdure to fields which had long lain in barrenness and decay.
