Poems: Lyrical, Affective, and Dramatic (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Poems: Lyrical, Affective, and Dramatic

The extreme abundance of verses of a quality of more or less respectable mediocrity precludes the authors of such verses from any pressing necessity that they should publish their productions. But the very same fact is a continual and urgent reason why the true poet, drawing from sources of a deeper and more genial inspiration, ought by all means to bring forward his revelations for the solace and refreshment of the world. The great dificulty is for the author of a Volume of Verses to distinguish truly of himself whether he is a mere dabbler in the shallow waters, or whether he has had access given to him to the fountains of a profounder and more pregnant truth.
