Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Complete Poems, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited With Pref, Essay on Life and Writings, and Notes I do not hide from myself that it needs courage (though I do not claim praise for its exercise) to edit and print the Poetry of Dr. John Donne in our day. Nor would I call it literary prudery that shrinks from giving publicity to such sensuous things (to say the least) as indubitably are found therein. Contrariwise the susceptibility that makes one so shrink is healthy and true, and its sharp though unvociferous warning may not safely be stifled. I deplore that Poetry, in every way almost so memorable, and potential, should be stained even to uncleanliness in sorrowfully too many places; and while I believe Donne might have written over his collected Poems what Robert Herrick put for epigraph to his Hesperidasy viz. ´To his Hook´s end this last line he´d have ptac´t: Jocond his Muse was; but his Life was chast- 1 yet fear "William Cartwright´s hitherto overlooked protest in his tacit allusion probably to these very lines, in his noble tribute to Ben Jonson, must hold: ´No barganing line there; no provoc´tive verse; Nothing but what Lucretia might rehearse; No need to make good count´nance ill, and use; The plea of strict life for a looser Mute.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
