The author derived the idea for his poem, The Salamandrine, from the following quote: Our fathers being true philosophers and speaking to God face to face, complained to Him of the wretched fate of these people; and God, whose mercy is illimitable, remembered Him that it was not impossible to find a remedy for this evil.

1842. The author derived the idea for his poem, The Salamandrine, from the following quote: Our fathers being true philosophers and speaking to God face to face, complained to Him of the wretched fate of these people; and God, whose mercy is illimitable, remembered Him that it was not impossible to find a remedy for this evil. He made known to them that in the same manner as man, by the alliance which he has contracted with God, has been made a participator of the divinity; so the Sylphs, the Gnomes, the Nymphs, and the Salamanders, by the alliance which they may contract with man, can be made participators of man's immortality. Thus a Nymph or a Sylphide becomes immortal and capable of the bliss to which we aspire, when she is happy enough to marry one of the wise; and a Gnome or a Sylph ceases to be mortal from the moment that he marries one of the daughters of men.

Autorenporträt
From the year 1812 to 1889, Charles Mackay, a skilled writer, and artist hailing from Scotland, lived a full life. He gifted the world with many of his works, including his most renowned tome, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, which saw publication in 1841 and is still beloved as a classic in the realm of social psychology. Mackay's eloquence knew no bounds, as he frequently contributed articles and poetry to a variety of periodicals. Furthermore, he was known to engage in speaking engagements to discuss his vast knowledge of all things literary. The course of history can be altered by powerful beliefs - something that Mackay was fascinated by in his work. Although he was interested in literary pursuits, he also used his platform to champion political causes (such as the abolition of slavery). With an impressive ability to convey complex concepts in an engaging and comprehensible manner, he demonstrates a sharp wit and a discerning focus on detail in his work.
