Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tributes to the Tees: By Natives and Strangers When, a few months ago, I expressed a wish to form a collection of any scattered verses that might have been written on the subject which is indicated in my title page, I was surprised at the well-spring of true poetry which, as at the touch of the diviner´s rod, I had evoked around me; - lines, not written for the occasion, but the effusions of time past, and genuine feeling, "Hived in the bosom, like the bag o´ the bee." Unknown to each other - unshared even by family or friends - the Absent - the Distant - the Soldier - the Civilian - each seemed to possess a little hoard of heartfelt remembrances which had found expression - as all deep feelings do - in verse. On the frozen shores of the St. Lawrence - on the burning banks of the Ganges or Sitong - or in yet more remote, though more Anglicised Australia - alike had the calm image of the tranquil Tees haunted the day-dreams of the unwilling Absentee. Nor had they who still dwelt upon its banks grown insensible to its attractions, as visitors supposed, but felt that Nature´s charms could never tire - "nor custom stale her infinite variety."
