Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introductions to Notable Poems
Verse which appeals with equal force to those whose prime interest is in perfection of form and to those to whom poetry is the inevitable lan guage Of the human spirit in its mo ments Of exaltation. N O attempt has been made to give the selection a representative character other than that secured by bringing together the different verse forms; and even in this respect the choice has only fol lowed the line of the most beautiful and memorable poetry. In the In troductions the endeavor has been made to set the poems in their en vironment, so to speak, by sketching brie?y the development Of the poem and of the poet; by bringing together the facts which throw light on the making of the poem; and by point ing out the characteristic qualities.
