Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Browning, M.A, Vol. 5: Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford; A Soul´s Tragedy Luria Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day Men and Women So intense was his feeling for this town that he used frequently to dream of it. He described this dream, which had haunted him, to his friend, Mrs. Bronson: "I am traveling with a friend, sometimes with one person, sometimes with another, oftenest with one I do not recognize. Suddenly I see the town I love sparkling in the sun on the hillside. I cry to my companion, ´Look! look! there is Asolo! Oh, do let us go there!´ The friend invariably answers, ´Impossible; we cannot stop.´ ´Pray, pray, let us go there,´ I entreat. ´No,´ persists the friend, ´we cannot; we must go on and leave Asolo for another day,´ and so I am hurried away, and wake to know that I have been dreaming it all, both pleasure and disappointment." This deep sentiment for Asolo lasted to the end of his life, and was enshrined not only in his poetry but in the gift which the younger Browning made the town in memory of his father - namely, the establishment of the lace industry. A visitor to Asolo now will find "il poeta," as he is called, held in reverential memory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
