Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Solomon Gessner, Vol. 2 of 3: Translated From the German; With Some Account of His Life and Writings
These Idyls are the fruits of some of my happiest hours; of those hours, when imagination and tranquillity shed their sweetest in?uence over me, and ex cluding all which belongs to the period in which we live, recalled all the charms and delights of the golden age. A noble and well-regulated mind, dwells with plea sure on these images of calm tranquillity and uninterrupted happiness; and the scenes in which the poet delineates the simple beauties of uncorrupted nature, are endeared to us by the resemblance we fancy we perceive in them, to the most blissful moments that we have ourselves.
