Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Voice in Ramah: Or, Lament of the Poor African a Fettered Exile Afar From His Fatherland Long as this preface promises to be, still I earnestly request a patient hearing: what on other occasions may be only a matter of course, is an obligation in the present instance - certainly such to the author, and possibly to the reader, a due preliminary. The following Poem was begun about the time of the General Anti-Slavery Convention, held in Exeter Hall, during the month of June, 1840. Meanwhile, however, several months elapsed before I was induced to look forward with certainty to the event of its publication. But a gleam of hope was sufficient to arouse once more the feelings which had been appealed to, in the first instance, to redoubled activity; for the heart may slumber, but it cannot sleep for ever on the sorrows of Africa. The subject was present to my mind - it dwelt in my heart - a necessity was upon me, and careless whether my voice was destined to be heard or not, I resolved to snatch the harp from the weeping willow, and lament the woes of Fatherland to Memory, if not to Men. A descendant of the hapless race - was I not bound to consecrate to the cause of Africa, every faculty of my mind - every good feeling of my heart?
