Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Galesburg Sketches, Specimen Bits This volume is the answer to that prayer. In glad surprise has our sight been greeted´, from time to time, with familiar home-names in periodicals coming to us from distant cities, subscribing a poem in graceful guise, a classic tale, a song or lettered page of surpassing beauty. But what profit that a melodious chord be struck here and there to vibrate for a moment on the sated ear of indifference and then, unsustained, to die into silence, - cuibono? Why not, rather, unite these scattered strains into a symphony that should delight the ear and touch the heart of those who know and love the singers? Herein lies the raison d´etre of the little book to which this page is the simple introduction. It is an attempt to gather and set forth in one collation a portion of the rich literary fruitage of our fair city, - incomplete, to be sure, but perhaps in sufficient abundance to cheer our authors with the heartening thought that here exists a true fellowship of letters, a literary coterie of no mean order. And may our little band" take heart of grace" from this look into one another´s faces, this grasp of congenial hands. So shall it be that, favorably as the city is already known for the excellence of its work in current literature, the publication of these "Specimen Bits" will mark a new epoch in our literary history. If we can, then, recognize in this garnered sheaf something of the beauty and merit which others have often observed in our single flowers of thought, when they grew and blossomed apart, the "giftie" will not have been bestowed in vain.
