Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of English Verse on Infancy and Childhood This Anthology is not a book of verse for children, but a book of verse about children. It has been said that childhood is the discovery of English poetry, but there appears to exist on this theme no representative anthology of English verse, - under which title is included American verse. Childhood has been interpreted in its real sense, that is, as covering the first twelve years of life. With the ´teens´ begin other interests and characteristics. Childhood is the period of our lives which the majority of us find it most difficult to recall. It is true that we remember the incidents of its later years. The setting of the picture remains more or less vivid. But the inner meaning - how we felt - has become a sealed book to too many. Few retain the inner light, which Vaughan and Wordsworth sighed for not wholly in vain, that enables them to travel back And tread again that ancient track. The activities and trivialities of earth have blotted out the unsullied vision of childhood and caused it to fade into the light of common day.
