Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Occasional Verses: Written During Leisure Hours These Verses have been privately printed by the author, following the suggestions of various friends, who have read them, that they should be made public, and more accessible than in manuscript. They have been written merely as an amusement during leisure hours and a relaxation from his astronomical duties and calculations. The author does not profess a liking for poetry in general, especially that of the late modern poets; though it has been a pleasure to him to commit to memory such pieces as his tastes suggest, especially from the writings of Scott, Rogers, Campbell, Cowper and Pope; and he rarely forgets anything so learned. He has always been somewhat of a student; and by chance, two years ago, taking up the study of English Literature, especially prosody, he soon found himself unaccountably writing in verse; and these pieces have all been written since that time. As his style seems to have been formed by these earlier poets, there will be found less sentiment here than in the later poets of the present day. Yet if the reader is interested in the historic descriptions, in the various and obscure incidents brought to light, in the humorous articles, and is thereby pleased the end and aim of all poetry seems to have been attained.
