Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whisper This volume makes it appearance under sad circumstances, for while the sheets were yet in the binder´s hands, the young author died, at the age of 27. Her poems make their own eulogy, but Frances Wynne was so bright a creature, so sweet and lovely a character, that it is desired to preserve here some record of her charm for those readers who never can know how dear her human personality was. She died within a week of the birth of her little son; and after eighteen months of a most happy married life. Of her the ancients would have said, "Whom the gods love die young," for during her brief life she lived every day in the full sunshine of love and joy, and passed away before the shadows began to lengthen on her years. Thinking of her now it is impossible to conceive her old and calm. She was so gay, so coaxing, so full of childlike naiveté and charm, that one can best imagine for her the perpetual youth of dead at 27. She was born and lived her girlhood in the quiet Irish village of Collon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
