Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Shelley It is worse than useless to deplore the irremediable; yet no man, probably has failed to mourn the fate of mighty poets, whose dawning gave the promise of a glorious day, but who passed from earth while yet the light that shone in them was crescent. That the world should know Marlowe and Giorgione, Raphael and Mozart, only by the products of their early manhood, is indeed, a cause for lamentation, when we remember what the long lives of a Bach and Titian, a Michelangelo and Goethe, held in reserve for their maturity and age. It is of no use to persuade ourselves, as some have done, that we posses the best work of men untimely slain. Had sophocles been cut off in his prime, before the composition of (Edipus; had Handel never merged the fame of his forgotten operas in the immortal music of his youth, we might with equal plausibility have laid that flattering unction to our heart. And yet how shallow would have been our optimism, how fallacious our attempt at consolation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
