Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brittain´s Poems The Wonders of the Present Age I have been tempted much of late To write at least a page Upon some works of recent date, The wonders of the age. We ill an age of wonders live, Wherein the skill of man Seems an impulcian to receive And do what mortal can. In fourteen hundred brave Guttenburg Invented types of wood. He thought the harm that art might cause Would be overcome with good. Now we have colleges and schools. Which number hundreds and more And flourish under better rules Than ever known before. The truckles, carts and sleds once drawn By oxen through the mud Are out of use, forgot and gone Like things before the flood. Steamships ride on the stormy main, Steamboats on rivers ply. And locomotives o´er the plain With greater swiftness fly. We daily hear the humming sound. The ringing of the car., Within a few miles of your own ground On trails of iron bars. The steam let through a copper horn Produces a thrilled sound, And on the gentle breezes borne Is heard for miles around. We sometimes hear it at our homes. Resounding upon the air, Its object is the hogs and cows From off the track to scare. Though many a cow is doomed to feel The locomotives weight; And hogs have scarcely time to squeal Before it is too late. And yet no farmer loses more Than balances his gain. For higher prices than before Are paid for pork and grain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
