Description:Excerpt from The New-England Tragedies Prologue. To-night we strive to read, as we may best, This city, like an ancient palimpsest;And bring to light, upon the blotted page, The mournful record of an earlier age, That, pale and half effaced, lies hidden awayBeneath the fresher writing of to-day.Rise, then, O buried city that has been;Rise up, rebuilded in the painted scene, And let our curious eyes behold once moreThe pointed gable and the pent-house door, The Meeting-house with leaden-latticed panes, The narrow thoroughfares, the crooked lanes!Rise, too, ye shapes and shadows of the Past, Rise from your long-forgotten graves at last;Let us behold your faces, let us hearThe words ye uttered in those days of fear!Revisit your familiar haunts again, -The scenes of triumph, and the scenes of pain, And leave the footprints of your bleeding feetOnce more upon the pavement of the street!Nor let the Historian blame the Poet here, If he perchance misdate the day or year, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
