Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poets of Essex County: Massachusetts "Of the dignity of Poetry," says Camden, in his Remains, "much hath bene said by the worthy Sir Philip Sidney, & by the Gentleman which proued that Poets were the first Politicians, the first Philosophers, the first Historiographers. I will onely adde out of Philo, that they were Gods owne creatures, who in his Booke de Plantations Noe, reporteth, that when he had made the whole worlds maffe; he created Poets to celebrate & set out the Creator himselfe, and all the Creatures: you Poets read the place and you will like it." Although we may not fully agree with the ancient writers, it is indeed true that poets occupy no insignificant position. If we believe the words of. Fletcher of Saltoun, when he says, "Let who will make the laws of a nation if I may write its songs," there must be some power in poetry stronger than the judiciary itself in the control of that nation. "...his rustic reed of song A weapon in the war with wrong." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
