Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cactus; Or Thorns and Blossoms: A Collection of Satirical and Miscellaneous, Embracing Religious, Temperance, and Memorial Poems Believing that a discerning, and honest Public will discover, and justly award to it, whatever of merit it may possess, I have ventured to give this Volume to the world. Without deeming it necessary to state the reasons which have led to its publication, I would simply say that it goes out not as the finished and elaborated work of a literary recluse; the poems which it contains are like the flying sparks from the anvil of the blacksmith, which brighten his gloomy surroundings whilst he wields, amid the din and dust, his hammer, in unceasing toil. In the midst of household cares, surrounded by six romping boys, have I often snatched up my pen to note a golden nugget of thought wedged, as it were, by some passing Muse into a brain already crowded. Into a noisy, bustling, world it goes from the busy active scenes of home life, as a timid pilot upon the fitful waves of a literary sea, to be followed, if not engulfed in the vortex of criticism, by something of more studied finish when time has borne my noisy boys into the quiet dignity of manhood, and converted my home into a retreat of silence. When it no longer becomes necessary to dismount my Pegasian steed to bridle a hobbyhorse for an incorrigible three years old equestrian, or to descend from a visionary, star-bound flight to arbitrate a complicated dispute over a ball, or top, it may be in my power to make amends, and conciliate those who may feel that they have been imposed upon by a "so called" poem.
