Author Description

Excerpt from The Passions: A Poem, Pronounced at the Odeon, December 28, 1835, on Occasion of the Anniversary of the Birth of Spurzheim <p>We do not now come up, With the loud trumpet and the golden cup, To lave the brow of Song. No garlands for the bard are wove In sacred mount or consecrated grove To him the finer wreaths, Through which the fairy breathes, Enchanting and enchanted, all belong! <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
