Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Small Tableaux My First and Last Strophe. On being asked to write an Ode by a Friend. Dear friend! I had commenced the ´soaring ode´ - But oh! I felt, despite thy flattering talk, Like some poor sparrow, captured by a hawk, And borne on alien wings from his abode Beneath the sheltering eaves. It is an art Beyond my scope and pitch; I stare and pant In this Pindaric clutch, and feel my want Of force; henceforth I shall grow faint at heart To see a falcon tower. Let lyrics be; For, though I do not love to say thee nay, For my poor muse it is too late a day To mell with strophe and antistrophe! When odes are paramount, ´tis best for me To house and peep, lest I be swooped away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
