Author Description

Excerpt from The Bible, Jews and Judaism in American Poetry We meet a Biblical inuence in numerous phrases, as, hosts of heaven, wings of morning, chamber in the silent halls of death, quarry slave, etc., but surely the sentiment is Biblical, so familiarly reminiscent of the wisdom of Ec clesiastes, of the philosophic contemplation of the Prophets, of the thought so oft expressed in the well worn Bible phrase: And he was gathered unto his fathers.
