Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bool Lovers´ Verse: Being Songs of Books and Bookmen Compiled From English and American Authors While the love of books has been expressed with some degree of generality by the bookmen of mediæval and of modem times, in learned treatise and in pleasing meter, when one undertakes an inquiry into the subject, the poverty of available material seems out of proportion to the inspiration which the subject might have been expected to possess. Perhaps it should not be assumed that the poets are not book-lovers themselves, or that, being book-lovers, they are unable to gratify a taste for the possession of books because they are poets; but rather that their muse the more readily responds to the seductions of a pair of blue eyes, or a tress of golden hair, or even the fleeting glimpse of an arched instep, inspirations that are illusive and transitory when measured against the steadfastness of good books, "... the best of friends, That can not be estranged or take offense Howe´er neglected, but return at will With the old friendship."
