Excerpt from The Bridal of Tomar: And Other Poems The flowery regions of the Poet afford a range which Creation itself can scarcely circumscribe; fertile as they are vast, the beautiful and sublime present themselves to his view as the brilliant Kaleidoscope of nature. If his intellect be vigorous, and his imagination vivid, he goes forth a giant in thought, and with knowledge for his torch-bearer, he dashes down the frigid barriers that would oppose his progress, penetrates the clouded past, the busy present, and points his inference to the coming future. He basks on the green earth and blue ocean; enough for him that his eye and soul may drink of the pleasures which they offer to him as he passes along; he stoops not to contend for the dust from whence they arise and to which they return. His enjoyments are of an higher order than those of sordid sensuality. It is his to dwell amongst the sympathies of our nature, and dilate on the beauties of Creation. He sits in the green shade of ocean-caves and sings the inhabitants of the deep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
