Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Australia in Peace and War It is pleasant to know that in the midst of a strenuous life, added to by responsible Legislative duties, the Author has found time to give us some of his inner thoughts in verse, and has thus, I think without intending to do so, allowed us a peep into his own ideals and aspirations. The prevailing sentiment to be found in these fitful outbursts, which have been to me very pleasant reading, is the love of Nature and the forest primeval, indicative of a contemplative mind. In small insular countries like the Motherland, "the call of the wild" is necessarily to the sea, while in Australia, with its immense area of several million of square miles, the call of the wild is to the "Backblocks," the little-known interior, "that wild dreamland termed the bush," far away from conventionalities and even from civilization. This feeling has no doubt often influenced Australian writers and poets to found their scenes and incidents far away from the usual haunts of men.
