Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bernard Barton and His Friends: A Record of Quiet Lives In 1849, the year of Bernard Barton´s death, there was published a selection of his letters and poems, edited by his daughter, together with a brief memoir of the poet by his friend the late Edward FitzGerald. This memoir, for delicacy of style, justice of appreciation, and rightness of proportion, is a model of what such memoirs should be; and to tamper with it is almost sacrilege. But the volume of which it is a part being out of print and only rarely obtainable, and the life of Bernard Barton, by reason of its wise cheerfulness, simplicity, and wholesome sweetness, being in this hurried, incomplete day of ours so fraught with charm and instruction, I gladly accepted the invitation to attempt to recover and reproduce some of its serenity. With the consent of Mr. FitzGerald´s literary executor, Mr. Aldis Wright, I have however on every possible occasion used the words of the memoir rather than my own, so that the present book is practically a reprint of the: volume of 1849, with much new matter added. The readers will find, I hope not to their confusion, that in the pages that follow little attempt has been made at a consecutive narrative.
