Harmonies of Creation: Or, the Music of the Morning Stars, to Which Are Added, Miscellaneous Poems, on Religious, Moral, and Patriotic Subjects, an Original Work (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Harmonies of Creation: Or, the Music of the Morning Stars, to Which Are Added, Miscellaneous Poems, on Religious, Moral, and Patriotic Subjects, an Original Work
He must be candid enough, and he is not ashamed to con fess, that religious effusions alone, are the most congenial to his heart; and of these he has in possession, perhaps, more than a thousand essays. In these pages he wishes not to introduce one single line which, in the day of God, he would had been expunged. His piece, entitled, The Harmonies of Creation; or, The Music of the Morning Stars, was suggested to his mind by a recurrence to Job, xxxviii, 4 - 7; and he sincerely regrets that he can not, such is his scarcity of time, take that pains which he ought, to give it a more substantial and elegant form; by retrenching what is rather lame, and adding some original ideas, which would make it appear to greater advantage. Every syllable and every line, so far as the author knows, are purely original - the plan - the lan guage - the form, and the ideas; nor has he resorted to fiction, any further than it might serve his convenience, for laying the foundation of the poem.
