Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Moral Emblems: Other Poems It is with some diffidence that I sit down at an age so mature that I cannot bring myself to name it, to write a preface to works I printed and published at twelve. I would have the reader see a little boy living in a chalet on a Swiss mountain-side, overlooking a straggling village named Davos-Platz, where consumptives coming to get well more often died. It was winter; the sky-line was broken by frosty peaks; the hamlet - it was scarcely more then - lay huddled in the universal snow. Morning came late, and the sun set early. A still, silent, and icy night had an undue share of the round of hours, which at least it had the grace to mitigate by a myriad of shining stars. The little boy thought it was a very jolly place.
