Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Writings of Orson F. Whitney: Poems and Poetic Prose
Nor need it be said, save to the uninformed, that all poetry is not expressed in verse. The es sence of poetry is in thought and sentiment, not rhythm and rhyme, though these are a beautiful means of embellishment. Many a verse, perfect in rhyme and meter, has little or no poetry, while prose is ofttimes replete with it.
