Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ballads of Books The poets have ever been lovers books; indeed, one might ask how should a man be a poet who did not admire a treasure as precious and as beautiful as a book may be. With evident enjoyment, Keats describes A voil, bowstrings torn, cross-wise upon A glorious folio of Anacreon; and it was a glorious folio Beaumont and Fletcher which another English poet (whose most poetic work was done in prose) "dragged home late at night from Barker´s in Covent Garden," and to pacify his conscience for the purchase of which he kept to his over-worn suit of clothes for four or five weeks longer than he ought.
