Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Difference, and Other Poems: Including the Columbian Ode
The author of the Columbian Ode grew up in a world which appeared to her not only warless but dedicated to a wise future of peaceful development - for the Franco Prussian war of twenty years earlier seemed, to the imagination of youth, almost as remote an object-lesson as Napoleon's conquests. War was not a reality, but a legend, to her consciousness; and the prophetic optimism at the climax of the ode was not merely a mood inspired by the splendid international courtesies of the great festival, but the sincere utterance of a young poet's pro found faith in the future brotherhood of nations and of men - a brotherhood potent, beyond all imagining, for the loosing of creative energy in vast works and marvellous discoveries.
The Diference, written thirty years later, shows not only a change of opinion and feeling from youth to middle-age.

Excerpt from The Difference, and Other Poems: Including the Columbian Ode
In preparing this poem for the press the author has made a few slight changes of words and phrases, but no essential alteration except the omission of a final lyric which, having never been an integral part of the poem, now seems ineffective. The present text of the ode is now the only authorized one.

This fascinating and wide-ranging collection of poems from a renowned author presents a vivid literary portrait of America during two major periods of change.
