Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings From Merrimac Valley Poets in all ages, have made classic their own native rivers. Wordsworth and Burns have sung the beauties of the Yarrow and "Sweet Afton," while our own poet has made the valley redolent with songs of the delightful Merrimac, whose tranquil loveliness attracts the eye of every beholder. Rising among the forest crowned hills of New Hampshire, its windings may be traced like a belt of blue ribbon stretching along between the hills, whose lovely scenery is mirrored upon its glassy surface, widening in its course as it hastens to the sea. Viewed from Pipestave Hill by the exiled Louis Phillip and Brissot, its picturesque beauty was pronounced unsurpassed. As Bayard Taylor, who "travelled in many lands," gazed upon it from Powow Hill, near Whittier´s home, he said, "for quiet beauty it excels anything I have ever seen." Along its peaceful borders thrift and enterprise hold sway, and its waters turn more spindles than any of its size in the known world. Yielding a rich harvest of intellect, its sons and daughters have gone forth to fill the highest stations in life, including poets of both sexes, but none more honored than he who sings of our lovely valley. "Oh never may a child of thine Where e´r his wandering steps incline, Forget the sky that bent above His childhood, like a dream of love.
