Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Bannister Tabb: The Priest-Poet A miniature painted in France in 1578 by the artist Hilliard bears the inscription: "If one could but paint his mind!" Happier than the artist, the lyric singer can paint his soul in his poems, and our Priest-Poet has painted his in most exquisite miniature, so that the world is better for the gift. In this little volume I have been content, in the main, to put forth the delicate work of his poetic brush, as my readers will agree. Indeed, I have more than once accused myself of presumption in undertaking to comment upon the rare creations of one so far above me as the Reverend John Bannister Tabb. But admiration for the poet and respect for his memory, combined with my desire to make him known and loved, especially by the young, have urged me to so unequal a task. I may add that these chapters are founded upon a lecture I gave to the young ladies of a certain convent in 1907, chiefly upon the poems, for my knowledge of Father Tabb´s biography was then even more meager than it will appear to those who peruse these pages.
