Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Lyrical Chronicle of Ireland: The Irish Sisters; Early Poems, Meditative or Devotional; Poems for the Most Part Connected With the Great Irish Famine, 1846-1849; Urbs Roma; St. Peter´s Chains ´Inisfail´ is an attempt to represent, as in a picture, the most stormy, but the most poetic period of Irish History. In simpler days than ours, when even rude feelings were tender, and when thought had not separated itself from action, poetry and history were more akin than they have been in recent times. In England and in Spain a series of ballads had early grown up, out of which rose the later literature of each country, ballads that recorded many a precious passage of old times, and embodied the genius, as well as the manners, of the past. Irish History no longer stands thus related to letters. Nowhere in Ireland can we move without being challenged by the monuments of the past; yet, for many of her sons, and those who ought to be the best instructed, and for the traveller from afar, there exists no Alfred, and no Wallace.
