Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wooing of Quimby´s Daughters, and Other Poems: A Poetic Nosegay of Lyrics, Ballads, Odes, and Tales It is almost obligatory, in such a prosaic age as ours persists to be, to introduce a new volume of poems with prose. This little matter of politeness, formality, and non-offensive conformity being disposed of, I need only remind prospective readers in passing that many a great movement in the growth of poetry has been ushered in by a preface somewhat beyond the expected or ordinary. If this shall be perceived as the goal or ideal of the present preface, all efforts to make it significant shall be amply rewarded. In compliance with this apparently necessary formalism, I have also placed "My Smithy" at the head of this volume. It was after great deliberation that I chose between this, and its companion-piece, "My Lines." The former poem finally seemed more in accord with what might be expected by the average reader of a new book of poems, while the latter appealed to me rather as an achievement toward which all poems in their autobiographical chain strove with unerring poetic progress. And yet, upon closer examination of this Smithy of mine, it will be noted that it contains neither a Chaucerian address to my "little boke," nor a summary in verse of what might be expected, nor an invocation to the Muses, the daughters of an Apollonian or Miltonian inspiration.
