Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Talks and Tales: A Magazine; Published by the Conn; Institute and Industrial Home for the Blind; Nos; 334 and 336 Wethersfield Ave;, Hartford, Conn Does this title sound paradoxical to the reader? Then it is because he has never learned the value of making the greatest use of all the senses with which he has been provided. How do we define beauty? The poet has said, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever;" and a feeling of pleasure, or joy, in beholding that which is grand, or beautiful, is but the responsive action of the mind, to what is conveyed to it through the sense of sight. Seal the eyes forever and you begin to appreciate that exquisite pleasure that may come into the mind and soul through the medium of your remaining senses. An imprisoned colt let out into the green fields, expresses only in a dumb way the pleasure which it is possible for the blind to experience as they walk through the shaded wood listening to the song of birds; or seated on the bank of a rippling brook enjoying the balmy air, sweet with the scent of violets, and the music of the streamlet with its merry tinkling silvery sound as it dances along, singing its own song of greeting and farewell. Would you get a glimpse into the life of one of the inhabitants of the sunless world, who finds happiness and joy upon every hand, then listen to the words of Alfred Hirst, who, after twenty-two years of blindness, writes as follows of his experience: "For nearly a month past, our garden has furnished us with wall flowers and sweet violets, yet up to this date neither the blackbird, his cousin the thrush, nor the skylark, has deigned to give us a song. The birds are amongst my dearest friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
