Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Prize Poem: Recited in the Theatre, Oxford, June 8, 1864 The bells of Stratford are ringing. A vision of Poets rises, who bow down to Shakespeare. The cause of their homage is shewn thus: - A state of early childhood is represented, free from self-consciousness, interpreting Nature unwittingly, and recognising the multiformity of man. A second state is represented in manhood, which, having lost sight of the truths of nature, shrinks into itself, and reduces all things to its own standard. The Poets fill the void with imaginary creations. Shakespeare the greatest poetical creator. Shakespeare´s life in Stratford. The still life of his brain. The dramatis persona: of his imagination are embodied, and vivified on the stage. The Comedy - the Tragi-Comedy - the Tragedy - and the effect produced by each on the spectators. A vision of Shakespeare sending his Characters into the world. The Characters recover for the mind its lost sympathy. The vision fades, and the poem ends.
