Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on the Truly Eminent English Poets, Vol. 2 of 2 The sentiments of our poet, sometimes, and particularly in his Night-Thoughts, swell to bombast. In allusion to this excess, when he was riding, one day, through a little town, with my Lord Chesterfield, his noble friend, observing that there was painted on a board, over a shop-door, - "Fustian sold here" - read the inscription to Young, and asked him, "when he "had changed his lodgings?" But in these Night-Thoughts, there are many, many passages, compared with which, all the brilliant bons-mots of Stan-hope are eclipsed; as the stars fade before the orient-sun. Indulge me with a permission to give you, from these poems, one or two examples of their excellence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
