Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fragilia Labilia
Should find welcome and acceptance. For along with that other and later series of haunt ingly beautiful Poems by Four Authors there is in these pages just the same youthful cry of forlorn Youth, the subdued but acute sense of all things fair and fading. A minor music, it may be, nay, is, but loved and remembered because of the vanished hand that noted it down. It was the prelude to Symonds' life-long search for the effective word, a search he never lived to complete to his own satisfaction, but in it we hear the boy's clear voice and feel that he had already come to know what he afterwards compressed into a single poignant line.
