Sinopsis

Excerpt from Poems

From about four times its bulk of verse, written between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five; the poems and sonnets respectively are ar ranged roughly in their order of composition. Several of the pieces included have appeared in two small collections of verse published at Cambridge, and others in the Cambridge Review, and elsewhere. The only poem which seems to need any prefatory explanation is the Barcarolle. This, as its title hints, is simply an attempt to translate Chopin's music into rhyme, almost bar by bar. The Venice of the song is the ideal home of all barcarolles, in which even the (doubtless) preposterous topography of the poem is possible. To all those who have wandered down the ways of that dream-city in some interval of prosaic life, I commend this book, asking that for the sake of their own dreams they may judge it.
