Купить Sonnets, Written as the Pastime of a Long Vacation (Classic Reprint), John R. Strong

Excerpt from Sonnets, Written as the Pastime of a Long Vacation

I have thought it worth while to gather together these scattered scraps of verse-writing, that those who came after me and bore some blood-relationship to me might have wherewithal of a personal nature to put upon their shelves, and I have thought it worth while also to add this preface, as it both makes the book more bulky, which it needs, and gives to the Sonnets a certain thread of continuity and interest which they necessarily lack. If I give their slight history and succession in order of their composition, it seems to me that they will be less of an enigma than if they remain mere isolated fragments with the clue to their origin and place in respect to each other gone. Those who have the good fortune to read and understand Shakspere's Sonnets know how much the interest of those compositions is increased by the slight thread of story, which, though hardly indicated, still binds them together and adds to each, in a measure, the interest of all; and so I think by prefacing these Sonnets with such data as I can remember concerning them, I shall make this a somewhat more readable book, and less of a mere dusty archive.
