Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elijah: A Sacred Drama and Other Poems Permit me to inscribe this volume to you, as a mark, at once, of high personal regard, and a grateful recognition of your long-tried and constant friendship. As to the intrinsic merits of the work, you, who have not been without experience in this vein yourself, (can I forget "Schlafcn sie wohl?")may be expected to be a lenient judge. "Hear then, attentive to my lay, For thou last sung!" Should there be any grave personages ready to draw down their ominous eyebrows, as if the author were forsaking Mount Zion for Mount Carmel, or worse yet, for Mount Helicon, let them be informed, that the "Elijah" owed its origin to the seclusion of a sick-room; where, debarred for a season from active professional labor, the pen helped to beguile the tedium of a protracted confinement. It was under such circumstances, and propped up in bed by a mechanical contrivance, that the greater part of the poem was written. As to the other pieces in the volume, it will suffice to say of many of them, that this is not their first appearance in print.
