Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetry of Wilfrid Blunt Let me begin this note by saying that Mr. Wilfrid Blunt is in nowise responsible for this selection from his verse. He has sanctioned its publication, but, left to himself, he would assuredly have included certain numbers which, however interesting in politics, are, as his Editors think, of no special importance as poetry. In fact, the work of choosing lay in other hands than his: so that if it be found that he is ill shown in the choice from his several volumes here presented, the fault is not with him. That said, as is just, I hasten to add that what follows is excerpted from the work of a poet who, as I deem, has put more of himself and his sole experience into his verse than any writer of his time. More: he writes throughout as one in and of a certain monde, as a man about town, a viveur (the term is used in no illiberal sense), a country gentleman who is also a person in society; so that his poetry has a savour and an impulse which make it a thing apart in modem verse. He comes, in fact, through Owen Meredith, straight from the Byron of "Don Juan," and to my mind b£ is far and away the strongest, the most personal, and the most persuasive of the whole descent.
