A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I titaiitartum. A mong earths wisest teachers, we give the first place to the poets. These are the men of vision, who see the open rift in the sky: who hear and understand the voices that fall over the heavenly battlements. And who, when the clouds stand upon the horizon, pierce through the darkness, and show us the sweet fields that lie beyond. In all ages, the poet has been the true consoler and guide, and teacher. He is not simply the interpreter of the beautiful, he is also the prophet of the eternal, and the herald of an invisible friend. It is given to the soldier to protect the people, the teacher instructs the state, the statesman guides the state. But the poet inspires us, stays our faith, and gives the clue out of the maze. What the philosopher cannot do, the poet, with his song and parable, has easily accomplished. The world owes much to Moses for his laws, but not less for his psalm of the brevity of life, the eternity of God, and the certainty of the realm that lies just beyond the stars.
