Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Poems: National and Patriotic Gentle Reader: It is with no ordinary solicitude, that I put these songs and poems in the hands of the public, thus placing them, with all their rudeness and imperfections, for ever beyond my recall; and that too in this practical age, when the world is absorbed in its great schemes of utility, politics, and finance - in fashion, discovery and war: yet believing that Poetry has a mission to fulfill upon the earth, even amidst the strife and bustle of modern civilization, though conscious of the poverty of my own efforts in the cause of the Muses, I cannot let the occasion pass without a word or two in favor of the "Divine Art." "Poetry," says Mr. Maunder, in his Scientific and Literary Treasury, "in its ordinary acceptation, is the art of expressing sentiments in measured language, according to certain rules of harmony and taste. "It is divided into blank verse and rhyme, and denominated according to its subject: as Pastoral, for rural objects; Elegiac, for plaintive pieces; Lyrical, or ballad; Didactic, or instructive; Satirical, or humorous; and Dramatic, or conversational.
