Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Webster´s First Bunker-Hill Oration When we study the history of those nations which have given to the world models of art in literature, we are surprised often at the meagreness of the literature of oratory in these nations. Numerous as are the occasions when great audiences have been moved to thought and action by the words of a leader, very few are the instances where these words have been so treasured by time that they hold a place among the great classics; whereas the literature of poetry in the same nations is abundant in evidence of immortality. This apparent discrimination in favor of the poet is evidently due to the fact that the occasional oratory, effective as it may have been at the time, did not approach near enough to great poetry to possess the element which the Germans call unendlichkeit, infinitude, or universality; it did not rise out of the limitations of time and place into the sphere of great truths where all art must live and move and have its being. It is interesting and profitable to compare the poetry of oratory with the oratory of poetry. Such a study reveals the kinship of poet and orator, that in the infancy of literary art the two are one in virtue of the shaping and transforming power of imagination, - "the vision and the faculty divine" - which protests against the unreality of a life in which the senses are supreme.
