Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Webster, an Ode So sang the poet, rendered bold and wise By the fine joy he found in being just; Wise to foreknow what should be, therefore must, Bold to foredate it with creating eyes. But the State hearkening, jealous for her name, Heard that sharp challenge of her thanks and praise What did he to deserve such meed? she says: Speak out, lone voice, and here rehearse his claim. O State, he said, for, lo, thou knowest it all. Might I be silent, and wouldst praise him thou! The public hand should wreathe this public brow, And the great dead awaits his Country´s call. Rash individual voice, speak what thou will, To hear is mine, the sovereign State replies: Me it behooves to wait and to be wise. With equal ear weighing the good, the ill. O just and reverend State - the poet spake - Much musing lest ill heard so loud and long Have needs ere now full nigh forestalled the song, I sing - for his, and thine, and mine own sake.
