Excerpt from Paul Redding: A Tale of the BrandywineWhen ¿owed the tide of war with purpose holy, And spread its waves of blood o'er Palestine, And when, to expiate some sin or folly, The weary pilgrim sought the distant shrine.Not from those days, so olden and romantic, My humble wand would raise the scene sublime, A mightier voice hath called from graves gigantic The stalwart champions of that iron time.Nor have I sat amid those lofty towers Where Speculation broods with visage pale, Nor walked with impious feet Love's sacred bowers, To tell once more an oft-repeated tale, No individual wrongs have deigned to borrow, To swell the story, nor disturbed the dead, But through the changing paths of joy and sorrow, Have followed where Imagination led.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
