Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Familiar Verse: Vers De Société Jocosa Lyra In our hearts is the Great One of Avon Engraven, And we climb the cold summits once built on By Milton. But at times not the air that is rarest Is fairest, And we long in the valley to follow Apollo, Then we drop from the heights atmospheric To Herrick, Or we pour the Greek honey, grown blander, Of Landor; Or our cosiest nook in the shade is Where Praed is, Or we toss the light bells of the mocker With Locker. Oh, the song where not one of the Graces Tight-laces - Where we woo the sweet muses not starchly, But archly - Where the verse, like the piper a-Maying, Comes playing - And the rhyme is as gay as a dancer In answer will last till men weary of pleasure In measure! It will last till men weary of laughter... And after! Austin Dobson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
