Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The lamp will shed a feeble glimmering light, Until the oil which fed its flame be spent; The small stars twinkle in the firmament, And the moons pallid orb arise on night, When day has waned ;the scath dtree, in despite Of age look green, with ivy-wreaths besprent; And faded roses still retain their scent, When death shall make them loveless to the sight. So linger on, as seeming loth to die, Light, strength, and sweetness: thus unto the last The poet oer his lyres lov dstrings will cast A nerveless hand and his fond labours ply; Not unrewarded if its parting sigh Seem like the lingering echo of the past! B.B.
