Legends of the Bocas Trinidad (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Legends of the Bocas Trinidad Hese legends, inspired - nay, it may be said created by the scenes to which they relate, with little oral, and less written or printed tradition to account for the marvels they contain (except Legends XVII to XXI, which are his torical), came to their recipient at intervals during the course of fifteen years' residence in what is undoubtedl one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Some, suc as M'an Grosdent, Los Cotorros, The Presbyter and the Pitch Men, came to him in mirth. Others such as Duendes' Mead, The Three Caves, La Divina Pastora, A Morning Vision, came to him in sorrow. All alike, however, came of themselves, with little or no drudgery of literary composition. To the genius loci, therefore, is due an merit they may possess. For their demerits, which doubt ess are numerous, the deficiencies of the medium ought to be remem bered. Non sum dignas, though the deity have entered. When, instead of a dry lawyer, some true vates sacer visits these shores, or (as will doubtless ha pen, though the Ser ent forgot to mention it), one springs rom the soil, then shal be seen the fulness of the inspiration of Trinidad woods and caves and waterfalls, and the amazing Bocas del Drago. The identities of Scribbler, who wrote the verses, and of Ignotus, who edited them, may safely be left to the imagination of the reader.
