Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from More Truth Than Poetry That´s Montague all over - he is kindly and he is gentle and he is human. I state without fear of successful contradiction that he is one of the most regular human beings inhabiting this planet at the time of writing. He is that most rare thing - a humorist who also is a humanist. Some men who have the gift of wit insist on taking a bird´s-eye view of the world. Peering down from the rarefied atmosphere of the higher criticism upon the swarming atoms miles below, such a one takes his pen in hand and writes, "What fools those mortals be!" With Montague it is different. He is of the people, by the people, for the people. Which is exactly why he is so popular with the people. He laughs with them; not at them. The present volume is made up mainly of things of his which already have appeared in the daily press. They are here compiled and presented in book form because a great many persons regard them as being worthy of perpetuation in this guise. I am pleased to count myself one of that large and - I trust - influential group. From so full a collection of worth-while verse as is here presented it is hard to make selections and say that this is better than that, or that that excels some other.
