Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Life and Writings Sidney Lanier Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Society: When the Centennial Commission of the United States in 1876 sought for a poet who could best express the national feeling in its opening cantata, their choice fell upon Sidney Lanier. When Asger Hamerik, the conductor of the Peabody Orchestra, the aim of which is to teach music in its highest forms, desired to employ the best artist on the flute attainable, he turned to Sidney Lanier. When the Johns Hopkins University, which, from enormous resources, had obtained its chief mathematician in Sylvester, its chief Greek scholar in Gildersleeve, its electrician in Roland, its chief chemist in Remsen, its Romance lecturer in Eliot, and the other members of its Faculty from the best scholars known to the world, wished an equally gifted and capable lecturer upon English prose and poetry, it was to Lanier that it looked as the man for the task. Such was the verdict on him, while living, by competent judges of his powers as poet, musician, and critic. Upon a list of our purchases a few months ago, you will find his complete poems.
