Poems of Alice and Phoebe Carey (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poems of Alice and Phoebe CareyAmong the younger American poets there are few whom we regard with more interest, or whose writings inspire us with more hopeful anticipations, than these two sisters, who were born in a quiet and pleasant district in the vicinity of Cincinnati, where they have always resided. Their educa tion has been limited by the meagre and infre: quent advantages of an obscure country school, from which they were removed altogether at a very early age; and with neither books nor lite rary friends to guide or encourage them, and in circumstances which would have chilled and with ered common natures, they have been and still are, humble but most acceptable worshippers in the glorious temple of song.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
