Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from More Verse and Prose, Vol. 1 of 2 The Elgin marbles are representations of the processions, and battles, (the everyday occurrences, and commonplace,) of old Greece; and the Elgin marbles are poetry in the highest. In England, Railway meetings and speeches are everyday occurrences; and the evil doings in railways constitute a drama of horrors, compared with some of the actors in which, Rush (the wretch who paid himself in blood for unexhausted improvements,) was a stainless angel! Has not that drama its poetry? Perhaps, a hundred millions have been wasted in unwanted railways! I did my best to prevent that waste; and though I cannot know that any of my writings or sayings will live, I desire that my children and theirs shall know (through them) that I did my duty, while others were supine.
