Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Khan´s Canticles For many years the Khan has been scattering poetic gems over Canada through the ephemeral medium of the daily newspaper. Some of these poems have made the Khan famous known from Vancouver to Halifax as Canada´s best-gifted poetic genius; many of them were gems which deserve a much more permanent setting than the columns of a daily journal, and all of them were good: all betrayed the fact that their author was a poet, having the faculty of reaching the hearts of his readers, now with some homely tale of rural life; now with a more pretentious descriptive poem, bold in conception, original in its makeup, and powerful in effect; again with a martial blast of patriotism that sets the young Canadian´s blood dancing through the veins, and fills his head with love for his country and admiration for his country´s minstrel; and again with some little touch of human nature which softens the eye, developes a long-drawn sigh, and tames the human animal until he is, for the time, fit associate for beings of a higher order. The publication of this volume of the Khan´s poems having been decided upon, Mr. Kernighan conferred the honor of being his publishers upon the Hamilton Spectator, saying that, inasmuch as it was as a reporter on the staff of the Spectator, twenty years ago, that he wrote the first lines which had the honor of being printed, it is meet that the Spectator establishment should bring out his first book.
