Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets: And Other Verse
How many a man of those I see around Has cherished fair ideals in his youth, And heard the spirit's call, and stood spellbound Before the shrine of Beauty or of Truth, And lived to see his fair ideals fad-e, And feel a numbness creep upon his soul, And sadly know himself no longer swayed By rigorous Truth or Beauty's sweet control!
