Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Straight and Crooked These songs, to you who have not eyes or ears, Chained vulture-scarred on life´s bare, rocky tiers, Promethean souls who hide the stolen fire Under thick need, black anguish, foiled desire, I dedicate, that so my heart have ease Of her great debt. Her nine upon its lees Sweet is against your bitter. She hath her fill Of Beauty beauteous made beside your ill, And knoweth her joy in song is yours in fee Nurtured upon your songless misery ... ... Where were the heights if depth lay not between? Where light if dark not interposed her screen? Down through the void would topple earth and sun If from your place were pushed the meanest one Of all your huddling band, O ignorant Stark souls that in the world´s deep shadows pant For what, you know not! Here a soul draws near To pay account in song you will not hear! Yea though, could you but know, your laugh immense Would shake to dust this beggar´s recompense, I bring it, proudly prostrate, lay it down Before your silence, asking not the crown Of your dull scorn, as scornful poets do. Nay, humbly here I vow these songs to you, That I may lay up treasure for myself In days when you have climbed my windy shelf, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
