Excerpt from A Lark Went Singing: And Other Poems
In what contrast is the vernal trochaic measure of Returning There's a thrill of other spring times in the country soul of me!
And in an entirely different way, listen to the leap of the mingled anapests and dactyls of Last Song of Apollo.

Excerpt from A Lark Went Singing: And Other Poems
Mrs. Harding's work is quite removed from the fashion of the hour: it utterly lacks strain and strut, it makes no bid for favor by the use Of the grotesque, the super subtle, the coarsely realistic or the stormily individualistic and prot estant. It brings us back, contrariwise, in the simplest, most unob trusive way, to that older yet ever young appeal Of Beauty which has a twin face, because it is both es thetic and spiritual. It is for this reason that the pieces printed in the following fascicle Of poems, so slender in amount, so unassuming in tone, possess, it seems to me, the characteristics of genuine song: since they embody art, imagina tion, aspiration, and the gift Of happy, singing words. Not afraid that the wings of flight shall be clipped by the restraint Of law, such self-respecting work accepts the nobler traditions of the ars poetica, as if in consonance with Goethe's declaration that it is only within the strait confines Of art that the artist finds his true freedom. The gravamen Of the charge that to do this means a slavish Obeyance Of the past, and a consequent fail ure to represent the present, loses its weight in the answer that every thing Of value in art looks to thepast. In art, a personal hallmark set upon a general human experi ence; voila tout! The Old becomes the new again; or better, there is neither new nor Old, but only the true, the good and the beautiful.
