Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mimma Bella In 1894 a volume entitled "Sonnets of the Wingless Hours" placed Eugene Lee-Hamilton indisputably among the masters of the sonnet. Not until this book had captured the critics was it known that the writer of so many distinguished volumes of verse had been lying for twenty years in the twilight of a cruel and mysterious malady. The sonnets were a cry from the living grave in which his youth had been buried. He had written: "And now my manhood goes where goes the song Of captive birds, the cry of crippled things; It goes where goes the day that unused dies. The cage is narrow, and the bars are strong, In which my restless spirit beats its wings; And round me stretch unfathomable skies." Thus it seemed no less than miraculous when, after twenty years, Eugene Lee-Hamilton rose from that living grave to take his place again in the world of men. Youth was gone beyond recall; but hope came to him, and, after a while, love; and still later the promise of a bright young life to retrieve the lost years. The promise ended in denial, the pain of which called forth a more poignant cry, the sonnet sequence "Mimma Bella; In Memory of a Little Life." Eugene Lee-Hamilton was born in London in 1845.
