4.9/5 (13696 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Bride of Gettysburg, Vol. 1 of 3: An Episode of 1863 As this book is only written for the perusal of true admirers of genuine poetry - those who can appreciate lofty imagination, grand conception and combination of ideas - graceful, fluent, flowing numbers - choicest harmony of cadence and rhyme, freighted with high and noble aspirations, filled with feeling and pathos, adorned with simile and metaphor - who know that it is not enough for sentiments to be natural, graceful, and proper, in order that a poet may acquire any high degree of poetical merit, but that he must also be sublime and pathetic: For such persons of exquisite taste and feeling of heart this poem is written. So, from those of an opposite bias of mind, the author hears praise without being elated, and ribaldry without being in the least depressed. He has so frequently seen the first too lavishly and precipitately bestowed, and the latter so cowardly and faithless to its purpose, that he deems it is often the only index to real merit in the present age. He is not so arrogant as to declare this the finest poetical production of the century, but if it has its equal in beauty of thought and expression, he will thank any one who will be so kind as to show it to him. If some parts of this poem are found to be inferior in action to others, it was so meant to be by the author. No scenery is grand, beautiful and sublime, without undulations and breaks: Its valleys and hills, its rivers, its torrents its rills, its towering trees, its grass, its weeds, flowers and thorns, sunshine and and storm. This will be seen, as the numbers of this story appear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
