Book Description
Excerpt from English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers: A Satire Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will, Torn from thy parent bird to form a pen, That mighty instrument of little men The pen foredoomed to aid the mental throes Of brains that labour, big with Verse or Prose, Though Nymphs forsake, and Critics may deride The lover's solace, and the Author's pride. \vhat Wits! What Poets dost thou daily raise! How frequent is thy use, how small thy praise' Condemned at length to be forgotten quite, With all the pages which 'twas thine to write. Lut thou, at least, mine own especial pen! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird and Bough Two or three years ago, a writer in one of the leading New York papers, commenting unfavorably upon some recent utterances of mine in one of the magazines, said that my readers could forgive me everything but my poetry. Now I am going to presume that some of them, at least, can forgive me even that. Have I not had letters from a few of them I do not say how many expressing a desire to see my verses collected in a volume? Could any poet withstand the appeal of even a few disinterested persons who expressed so reasonable and so modest a wish? At any rate, I shall let their suggestion overweigh the adverse opinion of the hard-hearted critic just referred to. The one thing that I claim for my verses is that they keep a little closer to our wild nature to the birds, the flowers, the seasons than most of our minor poetry has done. I do not believe the reader will find a hint of any Flora or Fauna but our own in my pages. Then if I have also succeeded in bringing home the bough with the bird I heard singing upon it, or some suggestion of its place in the fields and woods and in the season, my title will need no explanation.
