Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Character, and Genius, of Ebenezer Elliott: The Corn Law Rhymer Indeed it was but yesterday that I conversed with him in his own house, heard him read his own poems, and joined with his fair daughters in singing the beautiful melodies which, at their request, he wrote and adapted to some of our most popular airs. And when I think of the good and brave old man - with his venerable grey hairs - his kind eyes, now beaming with love, and now flashing with indignant fire, as he spoke of human wrong and misery - I can scarcely reconcile myself to the idea that he is gone for ever from the world. The stern truth, however, returns to me with solemn emphasis, in spite of my incredulity; and I know but too surely, that I shall see him no more. It is, nevertheless, a high consolation to look back upon the noble and manly life which he lived; for he was an exemplar worthy, in many important particulars, to be imitated and reverenced. He was no half-and-half man, wavering with doubtful indecision between two opinions, but an earnest and sincere, if not a complete and many-sided character. It was his way throughout life, first of all to master every subject that interested him, and then heroically, and without calculating the chances of defeat, or caring for the world´s sanction or opposition, to throw himself into the arena as its champion.
