Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poem, Pronounced at New Haven: Before the Society of Phi Beta Kappa, August 20, 1839 Our Years. I. Tell me, ye tireless wanderers of all lands, Whose feet, in for and ceaseless journeying, Have press´d the thousand thresholds of the earth - Great cities - peopled entrances to tombs! - Ye men without a home! whose pilgrimage Has been on mount and sea, from morning time Of your bright days, until the cloudy years Gather´d about your pathway, and made dim What once seem´d radiant and beautiful - Or, till, the circle of your journey done, There seem´d no region waiting for your eye - No soil untrodden by your sandal shoon - Tell me, if in the climates ye have walk´d, Beneath the frozen and the burning sun, Link´d in the great procession, ye have seen Aught pass, in its untold vicissitudes, Bound with the blooming or decaying year, That may hold measure with this deathless mind! This thing intangible - yet felt, and seen, As charter´d with some power beyond the stars, That words may tell not - power whose lineage Speaks of Infinity! - Have ye on tower, The tallest that the earth has heav´d to cloud That the rests upon its pinnacle, seen aught That can o´ertop the Intellect, or soar Beyond the noble highway that it treads On its great marches! - Have ye heard of men, Whose mould was braver, [but who had no wings About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
