Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elysian Fields: And Other Stuff This thing has been going on for a long time, come to think of it. First, in childhood - "needless alexandrines," as Pope said; at least it was near Alexandria, and it might have been stopped then. But from the old English Reader, administered at school, the writer´s mind became tainted with rhyme, and before he was fifteen he was no longer immune. Yet there succeeded many happy days of prosy sanity; but before the time of coming of age there occurred the practically fatal "Anchyses to Venus" recorded herein. Inexperienced and unguided, what better could have been expected of ardent youth? Still, at one time a radical cure seemed imminent - in Tupper.
