Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 5 of 14 It happens to almost all men of superior talents, to have made an essay at poetry, in early life. Whatever direction be finally forced upon them, by strong circumstances or strong inclination, there is a period after the imagination is awakened, and the affections are excited, and before the great duties and cares of life begin, when almost all men of genius write a few lines, in the shape of a patriotic song, a sonnet by Julio in the magazine, or lines to some fair object. This is the natural outlet and expression of youthful enthusiasm at warmth; and young men are poetical at the same age and for the same age and for the same reasons, that they are apt to be flighty in their characters, and imprudent in their conduct. Poetry of this characters, and intellectual dissipation, which calls up a blush on the cheek of the veteran in some profession, after a twenty years´ recollection, as a youthful foible is also remembered with regret; but neither the sin of morals nor of taste is set down among the unpardonable.
