Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings of Leisure Hours The advent of a new singer, if his notes be true and tuneful, should be hailed with joy as a new voice added to that choir which no man can number, and such I find in George Williamson. He is of the quiet, domestic order of poets, possessing an almost exuberant fancy, a facile versification, and withal a pawky Scottish wit that is sure to please the average reader. His is a pure Castalian rill or fountain of Bandusia, where one may turn for a cool, refreshing draught. Our poet has that ease in versification which can arise only from spontaneity, singing as freely as the birds; and while his notes flow with an easy modulation the variety of his meters relieves his verse of anything like monotony. He has evidently a keen musical sense, which enables him to melodize in perfect harmony. His sentiments are faultless, and there is nothing in the volume but what is kindly, ennobling and wise. Faith in the Divine Providence and an ardent love for his fellow men, form a diapason which rings through his lines, to use his own words, "as some clear silvery bell." Like Abraham Lincoln, he gets near the heart of the people, and is the poet of the masses rather than of the classes.
