Description:Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas CooperT HE following prison-rhyme, ' part of an historical romance, a series of simple tales, and a small Hebrew guide, were the fruits of two years and eleven weeks' confinement in Stafford Gaol. The first idea of creating a poem, in which the spirits of suicides should be the actors or conversers, arose in my mind ten years ago; but a line might never have been composed except for my imprisonment; and the political strife in which I have been engaged has certainly given a form and colour to my thoughts which they could not have worn had my conceptions been realized at an earlier period. An in dividual who bent over tire last and wielded tire awl till three-and-twenty, - struggling, amidst weak health and deprivation, to acquire a knowledge of languages, - and whose experience in after - life was, at first, limited to the humble sphere of a schoolmaster, and never enlarged beyond that of a laborious worker on a newspaper, could scarcely have constructed a fabric of verse embodying more than a few poetical generalities. My persecutors have, at least, the merit of assisting to give a more robust character-to my verse; though I most assuredly owe them no love for the days and nights of agony I endured from neuralgia, rheumatism, and I know not what other torments, occasioned by a damp sleeping cell, added to the generally injurious inﬂuences of imprisonment.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
