Book Description

Excerpt from Thisbe's Lament: And Other Poems Poets, in these days, generally take refuge under the false and ridiculous supposition that it is impossible to write originally. It could be claimed equally well that the Pagans and Heathens now rampant in various parts of the world, should not be converted because no missionary can be an original missionary. As long as there are human beings, with minds that think and hearts that feel, there are ideas to feed and elevate those minds, - feelings and passions to move and refine those hearts. They are not the instructors of themselves individually; one original sympathetic mind sways them all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
