Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Orpheus Orpheus Poor rime before old beauties manifold! Not Orpheus´ nor Eurydice´s, all mine The fault, or they had made my verse divine As their sweet parable which fitly told Art only hopes for. Is my tongue too bold, When I shall speak of Dis and Proserpine? Would it were given, in the measured line, To sing of Helens with the bards of old. Fareway I seek upon the adventurous tide Of poesy and story; weapon sound My mother-tongue lends free, not bought nor sold, Within our armory of English found. But what are arms if skill be not their guide; Or arms or skill except great purpose hold? God-dowered Orpheus on the twisted root Of forest giant, mournful and alone, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
