Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures and Addresses I wish this evening t speak to you about the life and teachings of one of the greatest, perhaps I should say the greatest, religious poet who ever lived. Of the multitudes of poets who have in all ages been inspired to teach us the noble in conduct and the pure in thought, few only have deserved the high Latin title of Vates, a name which means not a poet only, but also a bard and a seer. And of these are there still fewer who impress us with the sense of something peculiarly sublime in their personality. Indeed, I hardly know of more than three whom I should name as exercising this magnetic effect on the imagination. Those three, are Æschylus, Dante, and Milton; - and of these three, neither of the others in so supreme a degree as Dante. Wordsworth, that pure and lofty poet whose soul was akin to Milton´s own, has expressed this aspect of Milton´s character. "Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart; Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea, Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free; So didst thou travel on life´s common way In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay.´ And again, in his Prelude, he calls him, "Soul awful, if this world has ever held An awful soul."
