Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Garland of Love: Wreathed of Pleasant Flowers, Gathered in the Field of English Poesy In the following selection of Love Poems, the greatest care has been taken to exclude such pieces as are as likely to corrupt the heart with their insidious poison, as to captivate the fancy by their alluring beauty. The chief object of the compiler has been to wreathe a garland of flowers which are at once pleasing and innoxious, though of various odour and hue; and in making the selection he has not forgotten that the daisy and heath-bell have their own peculiar charms, and give variety and beauty to a garland, as well as the lily and the rose. As there is no lack of love´s flowers in the ample field of English Poesy, it would have been easy to have formed a Garland of much greater size; but when enough had been culled, the gatherer stinted: his Garland was meant for the brow of youth and beauty, and not to decorate a may-pole or an ale-stake.
