Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from First Attempts: At Rhyme and Blank Verse The Author of the following Verses makes no pretensions, and he solicits every indulgence. He has no apology to offer for the publication, but assigns the true reason, - a wish to take the opinion of the public. If the public read and approve, he will be highly gratified: If they refuse to read, or, having read, condemn, though, "disappointed, he may heave a sigh," he will submit, and wrap himself in double folds of that obscurity which now so happily conceals him. No Author was ever better fortified against want of success, than he is. The Verses are printed at his own expence, and, although he lose the whole cost of the impression, he will neither fare worse, nor sleep less soundly. - His most intimate acquaintances are entirely ignorant that he ever attempted to rhyme, and, of course, have no idea of his being an Author. He has, therefore, to endure neither the pity of friends, nor the contempt of enemies: - He has only his own feelings to support - and every one´s experience will tell him how easily these are borne, when the world is entirely ignorant of his calamity. The versification is frequently rough, and the rhymes imperfect. These are faults, and they are acknowledged as such. If the Spirit of Poetry, however, be discerned, they may perhaps be forgiven in "First Attempts." Versification and rhymes may be improved by practice and labour; but without the fire of nature, they will never constitute poetry, however perfect they may be.
