Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fugitive Poems His regal port and glance of fire Might well have owned a royal sire; But neither kith nor kin had he In old Germanic ancestry: So said the vulgar, and to view One fain would deem the story true; - His coal-black hair and sallow cheek, Of Eastern lineage seemed to speak; But e´en, if true, he was not then Companion meet for other men: - There was a something all his own Which marked him out as one Alone - Alone in the self-conscious trust, That will not mate with meaner dust. In those dark eyes a mystery lay, A world of feeling past away, A buried hope, a new-made grave Of all the promise Life once gave; Perchance a grief, perchance a sin, Nestled their hidden depths within! But whatsoe´er of human dwelt In his deep gaze, ´twas guarded well, The idle throng might dream he felt, The why, or wherefore, none could tell. It were no easy task to trace The history of that calm face; And if it might be, few would dare Inquire what Time had sculptured there - So proudly cold, and coldly proud, Alike misdoubted and allowed. His age - but who can speak of age - That is not told by months and years, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
