Excerpt from Echoes From Niagara: Historical, Political, PersonalDuring the past year my soul, like some Eolian harp, has been wakened by the winds of Memory. And it is the echoes of these strains, now wildly sweet, now sadly sighing, that I have tried to collect in a sort of mental graphophone, to which the world's ear might kindly listen for a moment, in the midst of the grand diapason of sounds forever arising around us all, soaring, sobbing, exulting, despairing and unceasing. Though we cannot grasp the anthem of the spheres, yet we can hear the myriad murmuring voices in our own orb. The majestic, mysterious monotone of the sea - the solemn whisperings of the mighty trees in the forest - the merry laughter of the dancing streams - the joyous birds' songs - and deeper than all, ever felt and heard, the eternal wail of humanity, the undying requiem ascend ing to the skies. In all this, shall one small voice be heard?The glorious nightingale will surely hold the listener entranced, yet sometimes the weary wayfarer on life's journey will pause to hear the humbler melody of the meadow-lark.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
