Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Annual of the Mary Baldwin Seminary Of all the wealth of poems which we have received from our old Anglo-Saxon forefathers, not one has given us a higher or a truer idea of the poetic powers of our ancestors than this noble fragment, Judith. And, in scanning its pages, we find that the one thing in it which attracts us most strongly, is not the polish and brilliancy of its language and metre, nor its well-rounded plot, nor its dramatic interest, but the charming way in which its author has displayed his own thoughts and feelings, and has given us glimpses of his own heart-life, as he recounts the incidents of this old Apocryphal narrative. As Mr. Taine expresses it: "Power in spiritual productions arises only from the sincerity of personal and original sentiment." And if our old Anglo-Saxon forefathers could relate religious tragedies, it was that their very souls were tragic, that their very souls were religious, and "in a degree, biblical." Like the old prophets of Israel, they introduce into their verses their fierce vehemence, their murderous hatreds, their fanaticism, and "all the shudderings of their flesh and blood." And like the old Hebrew prophets they were also "in the simplicity and energy of their conception of the Deity."
