Book Description
Excerpt from Sordello Dear Friend, - Let the next poem be introduced by your name, therefore remembered along with one of the deepest of my affections, and so repay all trouble it ever cost me. I wrote it twenty-five years ago for only a few, counting even in these on somewhat more care about its subject than they really had. My on faults of expression were many; but with care for a man or book such would be surmounted, and without it what avails the faultlessness of either? I blame nobody, least of all myself, who did my best then and since; for I lately gave time and pains to turn my work into what the many might, - instead of what the few must, - like: but after all, I imagined another thing at first, and therefore lease as I find it. The historical decoration was purposely of no more importance than a background requires; and my stress lay on the incidents in the development of a soul: little else is worth study.

Excerpt from Men and Women and Sordello Love Among The Ruins. 3. Now - the country does not even boast a tree, As you see, To distinguish slopes of verdure, certain rills From the hills Intersect and give a name to, (else they run Into one) 4. Where the domed and daring palace shot its spires Up like fires O'er the hundred-gated circuit of a wall Bounding all, Made of marble, men might march on nor be prest, Twelve abreast. 5. And such plenty and perfection, see, of grass Never was! Such a carpet as, this summer-tune, o'erspreads And embeds Every vestige of the city, guessed alone, Stock or stone 6. Where a multitude of men breathed joy and woe Long ago; Lust of glory pricked their hearts up, dread of shame Struck them tame; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
