Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Voices From Nature: A Volume of Original Poems In writing the introduction to the poems of Luranah Hammond, rather than make elaborate comments upon the author or her poems, I prefer to give the reader the story of the poetic side of her life, in her own words, which reads like romance, and is as charming as a poem. By a series of questions, I drew from the author the following: "I was born January 8th, 1840, in the Town of Solon, New York. My father´s name was Nathan Hammond: my mother´s maiden name was Pierce, and her father, William Pierce, was a Baptist preacher. I was the youngest of a family of three girls. Sarah was sixteen years my senior, and Mary five and a half years older than I. Mary was my intimate companion, and my earliest recollections are of playing beside the brooks and over the hills and meadows with her, happy in childhood´s glee. In the spring of 1847, my father moved to Wisconsin, and settled in Evansville, Rock County, where, for nearly ten years, he followed the trade of miller. All of those years I was unable to attend school on account of poor health. My mother taught me all she was able, the rest of my education I received from Nature, and she was a very kind teacher to me. I seemed to hear her voice in the wind and trees, and the waves of the little brooks whispered and laughed, which was to me the sweetest of music. My father being a miller, I used to watch the water-wheel; and I loved to hear and see water dashed and foamed by the big water-wheel. It was a never-ending delight to watch it and listen to its voice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
