Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The False Philosophy in Mr. Markham's Poem: A Sermon
True, there are gulfs between him and the seraphim, but the student of humanity can name many who have well nigh bridged these gulfs, and the Peasant is nearer to the seraphic heights than to the slimy depths from which he came. The 1 Poem is false because it ignores the steady prog ress of mankind, that Millet's peasant is more of a man than his feudal kin.
