Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glen Desseray and Other Poems: Lyrical and Elegiac In carrying out the labour of love entrusted to me by those most nearly connected with this much-honoured and regretted Friend, my wish has been to present such a selection from his published and manuscript verse as shall do justice to one of the most sincere and high-minded poets of our century. Nothing, as the verdict of Time constantly but vainly proves, is more insecure than contemporary judgments upon contemporary work in art and literature. Indeed, "Fame herself," as a great critic observes, even when she seems firmly established, "has but a short memory." I shall therefore attempt no forecasting or estimate of what Shairp´s place in our poetry may prove, beyond this, which can be safely hazarded; - that in the following poems no sensitive mind can fail, to find the note of what his friend Matthew Arnold has excellently described as distinction; - the note of a pure, refined, modest originality. It is beyond question a voice, not an echo, which we hear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
