Heart Drops PDF Download

Excerpt from Heart-Drops: From Memory's Urn With sensations peculiar to those who dip the pencil of Thought in Fancys' vase of hues, to portray the lineaments of the Heart and the phases of Life upon the silken leaf of Poesy, the Authoress of these pensive Heart-Drops unfurls the canvas of her frail barque, with a trembling hand, and launches out upon the precarious tide of public opinion. Freighted with gatherings from the parterre of the Past, and the blossom-crowned hills of an Ideal World, she commits it to the waves, trusting its unassuming caste may waft it peacefully onward in a quiet channel of feeling and affection, unbent by the blast, and unshattered by the storm that broods over the lake of Literature, folding in its dark bosom the lurid ire of merciless criticism! The writer of the following work deprecates its wrath, claiming for her wreathings only what the heart may justly ask at the shrine of hearts, trusting the misty drapery that droops from the pale finger of Distrust, may be looped back by the golden cords of feeling, and the lightning be drawn from the cloud by the magnet of sympathetic influence.
