Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Summer´s Night Lay, Vol. 1 of 3: A Poem; In Three Cantos It is a visited taste which can only relish works of imagination. The best, the most accredited of such works, will only hold a secondary rank in the estimation of a mind, that has felt the advantage of sober thought and calm investigation. But though productions of an imaginative character, are not, in point of worth and importance the first, they are not therefore to be despised: if they do not form the substantial meal, they may claim the merit of the elegant desert; if they do not constitute a serious pursuit of life, they may certainly be numbered among its ornaments and pleasures. The genius for poetry, like genius of all other kinds, is mostly elicited in the first instances, in small and imperfect efforts. - But small and imperfect as those beginnings of intellectual enterprize may be, out the patronage and success which they obtain, often depends the fate of future years. The plant, that beneath wintry winds and inclement skies, fades, and droops, and dies, would have reached its maturity, would have displayed all its beauties, would have shed all its fragrance, in a milder atmosphere, and under a summer´s sun. It is the mark of a generous and noble soul, to foster rather than to crush, to countenance rather than to contenm, the early attempts of genius and enterprize.
