Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gethsemane: A Sacred Poem Before mine eyes, from near the Golden Gate, The rugged Valley of Jehoshaphat Lies in its stony nakedness. Across That gaunt defile the Mount of Olivet Rises in simple beauty, clearly limned Against the Eastern blue, which makes each stone Stand out as though a hands breadth from the eye; So that, in truth, to pilgrims from a land Where Heaven grants not so divine an air. The scene appears to be a fairyland, Or dream, that presently will fade away "And leave us all the poorer when we wake" - Poorer in what we see, yet richer too For what we have imagined. Painter´s brush May strive to teach us what the scene is like; But, great as is the talent God has given To noble-minded men who live for art. They bring not home the great reality. The painter shows us what he sees himself; But this blest Land is different to each, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
