Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: With a Concise Life of That Poet, and Remarks Illustrative of His Genius That the glorious old masters of English Song are so little known to the American people, is the source of real regret to the present writer. Save Shakspeare - whose mighty and universal genius has burst the trammels of time and circumstance - there is scarcely one of this noble galaxy, whose mere name is tolerably well known, or whose labors are universally appreciated. Upon a favored few indeed, does their melody fall "Like a silent dew; Or like those maiden showers, Which, by the peep of day, do strew A baptism o´er the flowers." They hoard their sayings, weep over their pathos, laugh over their rich and varied humor, are startled and astounded by the power of their descriptions and the gorgeousness of their imaginations. However favored they may be, unlike the votaries of Mammon or Fashion, these are neither selfish nor exclusive; but being ardently desirous of widening the territory of Delight, and of multiplying the number of those with whom they may meet in sympathy and gratulation, they dispense with burning tongue and liberal hand, the bounties of which they have themselves partaken.
