Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Versicles "Mr. Irwin is fluent, fanciful, melodious, and pleasant to read. His Songs are sparkling and full of verve." - London Quarterly Review. "There are in those pages, shape and form, and a wide range of knowledge and thought. The rythm is full-sounded and self-restrained; the metres original and well chosen, harmonising with the subject as metre only does when selected by a poet; for he alone can make subject and metre accord as voice and instrument. Mr. Irwin exhibits strength and fertility, which augur well for future crops. The colours are tastefully applied. The ´Death House´ displays power, with the tall elms knee deep in loam facing the dumb door, and filling the windows with their gloom." - Athenæum on Irwin´s "Versicles," February 16th, 1856. "At length, by the grace of God, Ireland has a poet who may rival the most gifted of other lands. Thomas C. Irwin is the man. He is a true-born poet, if ever there was one. He has shown in this, his first publication (´Versicles,´ 1856), a mastery of his art which the best of his Irish predecessors do not possess. There is none among them like unto him, or second to him, in that respect. There is a ripeness of knowledge, a mastery of the poet´s art, an equanimity of temperament, and sense of power displayed throughout... Mr. Irwin has extraordinary powers; he might be the Irish Shakspeare - the Shakspeare of every land where the language is English, and the blood partially Celtic." - The Tribune, on "Versicles," 1856. "It is a comfort to meet with an Irish poet who does not lift up that eternal wail as that of a race in exile, sorrowing over a splendid past and hopeless future; one who finds life liveable, and poetry to be got out of it. If his countrymen were only wise enough to unite and live in the same spirit as he writes in, they would soon make a brighter outlook for the future. His themes are all nicely felt and appropriately expressed. Many of his poems are charming, and manifest the true artistic touch." - Athenæum critique of Irwin´s "Poems," 1867. "His ´Versicles,´ as they are modestly entitled, range over a wide field of imagination, thought, and emotion, making upon the whole a set of pictures, each remarkable for its own particular charm. The prevailing tone is one of sunny joyousness, of flowing sympathy with all fair and happy things. His Songs are thoroughly song-like, welling out of a warm heart, and teeming brain, while the descriptive pieces show great truth of picturesque detail, tinged with the feeling natural to the hour and occasion." - Dublin University Magazine, 1867.
