Excerpt from Voices of Nature I'm a child of art, and therefore may not hope To blend my voice in perfect unison With Nature's notes, self-taught and self-sustained, The spiritual, the beautiful, the pure, Were left for Nature - not for books to sing. Yet books have voices, speaking from the past, Of hope and love, ambition, progress, power, Of art and science, literature and laws, Of ancient grandeur, chivalry, and pride, Of faith, repentance, charity, and heaven. Thus to the ear, while time and tongue shall last, We books will tell of character and thought, Of human joys and sorrows, pain and death. My birth was humble, but legitimate, The offspring of a heart not dead to love, The echo of a soul not deaf to sound, The creature of a mind not blind to truth, Nor senseless to the impress beauty brings From moral, physical, or social world. I make no sad appeals to sympathy, No capital of physical defects, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
