Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Prose Works of John Milton: With Critical Remarks and Elucidations In the mottoes which appear on our title-page we have at once the reason and the plan of this labour in which we are about to engage. Here we find such a man as Keble, highly educated and well read in our older and better writers, a double First-Classman of Oxford, confessing his ignorance of the prose works of our great national poet, and in the same breath declaring that, when he did turn his attention to them, he there often discovered sentences of such transcendent excellence that they appeared written as if an angel had held the pen.´ We believe that angels do guide the pen of those who, however encompassed with human infirmity, stand forth, in the dark and evil days of trouble, and rebuke, and blasphemy, the champions of God´s eternal truth. Such a one was Milton; - and surely it is well worth while to rescue from oblivion, and "not willingly let die," any such magnificent passage which has fallen from the pen of so great a man, though it may lie buried beneath a mass of rubbish.
