Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christabelle, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, Angel-Footsteps Thro´ Nature´s week, thro´ vanquish´d agonies, (Like the stars struggling thro´ this midnight gloom,) What gleams of joy? what more than human peace? Where the frail mortal? the poor abject worm? No, not in death the mortal to be found. His conduct is a legacy for all, Richer than Mammon´s for his single heir. His comforters he comforts; great in ruin, With unreluctant grandeur gives, not yields, His soul sublime, and closes with his fate. As some tall tow´r, or lofty mountain´s brow, Detains the sun, illustrious, from its height, While rising vapours and descending shades, With damps and darkness drown the spacious vale, Undamp´d by doubt, undarken´d by despair, Philander thus angustly rears his head, At that black hour which gen´ral horror sheds On the low level of th´inglorious throng: Sweet peace, and heav´nly hope, and humble joy, Divinely beam on his exalted soul; Destruction gilds and crowns him for the skies, With incommunicable lustre bright. Young´s Night Thoughts, Book ii. "From that evening, which was enough to waken me to my grandfather´s true situation, I omitted no opportunity of being as much as possible with him.
