Riassunto

Excerpt from Prose Sketches and Poems: Written in the Western Country

I have acquired, by wild and desolate life, a habit of looking steadily in upon my own mind, and of fathoming its resources and perhaps solitude has been a creator of egotism. Of this, the public will judge. By all whom I number as my friends, the faults of this book will be for given; and if there be in it no vatz's spiritus, those who knew me will. At least recognise it as the breathings of one Who has departed from among them - as the expression of his feeling, and as such they will love them. Fame is valueless to me, unless I can hear it breathed by the lips of those I love. To the world, therefore, and to my old Mother City, I bequeath my last gift. If unworthy of her, let her remember, that poor and weak though it be, the tribute of the heart is not to be despised.
