Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of Friendship, Life, Home, Love, Religion, Humor and Other Poems NO one would presume to say that we are to assign definite hours in which to compose poetry or construct oratory, since these lines of human effort cannot be governed by definite rules. On the other hand, poetry is dependent upon inspiration. Having the faculty to produce, advantage must be taken of inspirations as they impress the mind. The larger part of my writings in rhyme was produced while on trips of travel or when at home in my library. In the former I was impressed by the grandeur of nature as seen personally, and in the latter by the quiet and rest which I find in the work room oi my home. To the class of productions which I wrote while on trips belong The Falls of the Niagara, We Ought to S tore a Treasure and Nightfall. To the class written at home under the inspiration of art and life, instead more specially of nature, belong the larger number of poems in this book. Of these The Power of Love, The Linden Tree and The Wandering Jew may be mentioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
