Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bryant Among His Countrymen: The Poet, the Patriot, the Man, an Oration Before the Goethe Club, Wednesday Evening, October 30th, 1878 His spirit is with God, with whom are the souls of the faithful, and so in a serious and a sacred sense it is with us, in our fellowship with that communion of letters and humanity which belongs to the kingdom of God. This Goethe Club, which is given to the higher literature under the greatest name in German poetry and which has received our venerable poet with its highest honors, justly calls you now to unite with them in this welcome of Bryant to his lasting place in his country and mankind. In treating, as I am to try to do, of his hold upon his countrymen, I would do it in the most generous and comprehensive sense and look upon all who live with us as our people, and all of every land who love good letters and fine art as of our kindred. This was his feeling always, student, traveller, citizen of the world as he was, and we seem almost to see him among us with his white head and benign face and persuasive lips as when you so cordially received him; and he seems now to approve every hearty word for fraternity among men and peace between nations. American he was and yet none the less cosmopolitan. In fact, because truly American, he can more fully take and give our fellowship with all races. Here to-night Bryant receives honors from the countrymen of Goethe and the countrymen of Bryant rejoice in the homage and return it. I. Bryant was first to take hold of his countrymen by taking hold of the country itself and by presenting our land, its scenery and growths in the charmed light of poetry. He first entered this America by the Gate Beautiful, and left it open to all who came after him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
