Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lanterns in Gethsemane: A Series of Biblical and Mystical Poems, in Regard to the Christ in the Present Crisis One hesitates to preface such a book as this with explanation. In many ways it were better to let the work, such as it is, meet its public without introduction. But the peculiar personal nature of the verse must, even unwillingly on the author´s part, be made clear for the sake of those to whom some such explanation is due. The poems of this book are the result of an experiment in living which grew out of two memorable experiences: one, the reading at about ten years of age of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon´s "In His Steps"; the other the reading seven years later of "Each in His Own Tongue" by William Herbert Carruth. The first of "Lanterns" to be written was Gethsemane" in 1909, followed two years later by "The Wilderness." Such a poem as "Upon the Vatican" was planned for five years before being set on paper in the summer of 1918, and many others were in process of preparation for as long a time. The material of the book has been drawn from the New Testament and from the lives of the author´s friends and parents. Hence, in a certain sense he has been a reporter. Though conscious for long of certain tendencies toward a religious and spiritual awakening in Europe and America now patent to all observers, the author´s method of composition has been to search constantly backward along the trail of memories for the living and breathing Christ as revealed most authentically in the heart.
