Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems and Legendary Ballads, Vol. 1 But Public opinion is the correct standard of all human pretensions to excellence; and excellence in Poetry is only by comparison. It is superfluous to remind your Lordship, that the sketches of a student in the art ought not to be tried by the severer rules of criticism; and I admit, with humility, that in the prosecution of it, where great promise is not exhibited, encouragement ought to be withheld. But to challenge a hearing at the awful bar of the Public, is in the choice of Genius, and can never be disgraceful, even although attended with failure. To create a book of Poetry is no great achievement. But your Lordship´s goodness and condescension in permitting me to grace the ´first attempt´ with a Name, which, the proudest Bard of the age would be proud to acknowledge, is an honour beyond my most sanguine expectation, and which, whatever be the fate of the verses, will cheer that prospective dependence which Fortune ever spreads on the path of the ´lower orders´ who become Pilgrims to Parnassus - after she has, by the fascination of the ´Light from Heaven,´ enticed them on the perilous adventure.
