Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ludibria Lunæ, or the Wars of the Women and the Gods: An Allegorical Burlesque A writer, who adopts a prescribed form of poetry in a time when prescription of all sorts is regarded almost with prejudice, has no right to look for a very warm welcome from the public. No great powers of perception are required to understand that a pure revival of a classical style would be inadequate for the satisfaction of the present literary appetite. Power of any sort, however rough, at least commands respect, and the reader´s intellectual vanity is delicately flattered with the sense of having deciphered what is obscure; but to recognize the plain usage of ruder times is to ignore the urbanity of culture, and not to be unmistakeably original shows a blindness to the mission of the modern Poet.
