Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Twilight Dream: And Moments of Solitude In palliation of the defects of "The Twilight Dream," the Author would state that it was composed at a very early age, and during a short space of time. Had he been permitted, by other duties, to indulge his Muse in the quiet sanctum of his own closet, the language and ideas of the Poem might have been more entertaining to its readers; as it is, he claims some leniency for its disconnection and crudeness, from the circumstances of its birth. These, in the language of Byron, "though they cannot excite the voice of praise, may at least arrest the arm of censure." The collection of shorter poems now published under the title of ´Moments of Solitude," were, for the most part, written at a still earlier date, and have received little or no modification. Many have already appeared (under a nom-de-plume,) in the columns of various periodicals; but will not, their parent hopes, be more harshly judged now that they have been publicly ac knowledged. Should the work tend to relieve the dull monotony of an hour, or afford a slight gratification in its occasional review, the ends of the Author will be fully accomplished, and his ambition liberally rewarded.
