Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Wendell Holmes "There´s Holmes, who is matchless among you for wit; A Leyden-jar always full-charged, from which flit The electrical tittles of hit after hit; In long poems´t is painful sometimes, and invites A thought of the new the new Telegraph writes, Which pricks down its sharp little sentences spitefully As if yon got more than you´d title to rightfully, And you find yourself hoping its wild father Lightning Would flame in for a second and give you a fright´ning. He has perfect sway of what I call a sham metre, But many admire it, the English pentameter, And Campbell, I think, wrote most commonly worse, With less nerve, swing, and fire in the same kind of verse, Nor e´er achieved aught in´t so worthy of praise As the tribute of Holmes to the grand Marseillaise. Yon went crazy last year over Bulwer´s New Timon; - Why, if B., to the day of his dying, should rhyme on, Heaping verses on verses and tomes upon tomes, He could ne´er reach the best point and vigor of Holmes.
