Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Verses of the Valley and the Mountains It is hard that the poet must choose whether he will pitch his key-note high, and be heard at once, though not in harmony with nature; or tone himself to her still, small voice, and go for a time unnoticed. The path of all true greatness lies through the valley of humility. We shall make our literature lofty by stooping. I recall this truth here because, without doubt, these unpretending verses will sound flat enough if the thought is not pitched to their key; and it is worth while to consider how much more of the good, wholesome atmosphere of ordinary life can be found on this plane. They are not poems of heat; but warmth and affection are better than passion with daily food; and it is sentiment and reflection that we, as a headlong people, most need. However, I do not expect very much for this small dish of first-fruits and flowers, though I do sincerely hope the candid eye may find in it some bud or seed of promise. At least these verses are not caricatures of our scenes and people for the amusement of others and the quiet contempt of ourselves.
