Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prose and Poetry: From the Works of Henry Newbolt The relation of Poetry to social life - to Politics in the wider sense of the word - is not a very profound or difficult subject: but it is a little profounder, a little more difficult than it is sometimes thought to be.

In the Ship of State, Poetry must not speak to the man at the wheel, or indeed to any member of the crew when engaged on any kind of duty: if she does speak she must not be listened to seriously. Common sense tells us that Poetry is idealism, and that idealism has nothing to do with the practical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
