Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Living Poets We occasionally hear it said - chiefly, perhaps, by those people whose interest in poetry is limited to the works of writers who are talked about - that there are no poets now. The truth of the matter is that the reverse is the case, for it may be doubted whether at any time there have been so many writers possessed of the rare power of expressing themselves in poetry, whether at any time so many men and women have been gifted with the inspiration, or have mastered the art. In a comparatively arid poetic era, two or three or more poetical giants hold the attention as a group of trees may in a flat country, where such trees might seem less remarkable surrounded by many of their fellows of varying size. "If all the world were eagles, what of that? The wonder of the eagle were the less, But he no less the eagle." It has grown to be something of a custom to decry a living poet, to dub him off hand as a minor poet - a silly classification, born of the fashion for labelling everything and everybody in grades of comparison.
