Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Golden Treasury, Vol. 4: Selected and Arranged With Notes The Golden Treasury has for half a century been the accepted collection of the best English verse, for the period it covers, from the age of Elizabeth to about 1830. The selections were made by a poet, Francis Turner Palgrave, with the advice of one of the greatest modern poets, Alfred Tennyson. What lyric poetry is, and what it means to a man of poetic appreciation, can best be seen by reading Palgrave´s own Preface (p.29). As we turn over the leaves of the book, we see that the subjects of poetry are as varied as life itself; we find poems on war and patriotism, on birth and death, on flowers, trees, and streams, on the sea and the sky; poems on friendship and on love in all degrees, - youthful romance, lovers parted or forsaken, love in marriage and in old age; poems of compliment, of humor, of regret, of aspiration. It is not the subject that makes the poem, but what the poet sees in it, beyond the vision of the rest of us. Shakespeare´s banished duke found "Tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything;" and Wordsworth said "To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." This power of seeing beyond the superficial fact to some more important and significant truth is what we mean by the poetic imagination.
