Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mahomet; Or the Unveiled Prophet of Inistan: A Boquet for Jenny Lind He that saith unto the wicked, "thou art righteous," him shall the people curse; nations shall abhor him. - Prov. 24th chap. 24th verse. As it would have been a moral impossibility to have written Mahomet in a more elevated style than the one adopted by the author, so it would have been highly immoral to have attempted it; thereby violating an imperative law of natural adaptation, functioned by the highest rhetorical authority, Mr. Blair, who commands us "to adapt the style to the subject." Consequently the author presents to a truth-loving, humbug-loving public, the inspiration of an indignant Muse-trusting, nay, even expecting, that its generous heart will excuse all inaccuracies, inelegancies, and indifference to classical rythm, perceptible in its style - bearing in mind that the truly poetic mind, unlike the prosy croaker, who sits complacently down to pump up thunder, (impelled by the laudable intention of arresting the course of the vicious, or ameliorating the unfortunate condition of the oppressed.) writes energetically, or rudely, but to give forth Heaven´s own righteous indignation ut seeing its most holy laws violated with reckless, unblushing impunity, by the wicked sons of Belial. And the indulgent reader will also remember that all true inspiration proceeds from the fountain of all truth; its impressive imagery, the things of Earth, the glories of Heaven, or the horrors of the Pit - and that the tone, or plane of the mind, is keyed by the subject. Therefore, whatever is truthful, beautiful, and emblematic of Heaven, will call forth from the temporarily excited imagination, and exalted soul, language appropriate to express the feelings generated by the subject. If the individual subject has maintained a very high moral character, and possesses in an exalted degree, the refined and exquisite capabilities of a religious spirituality, the style will be necessarily elevated, refined, chaste and glowing. But as regards Mahomet - to attempt to explain the whys, and wherefores, or deign to solicit an apology, would be ridiculously superfluous - indeed highly derogatory to the character of the Christian community at least.
