Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Makers of Modern Poetry: A Popular Handbook to the Greater Poets of the Century An author who comes back to one of his early books after a lapse of several years resembles a man who returns after a period of adventure to the home of his youth. He is conscious in his mind of both pleasure and surprise in what he sees; he perceives that if he had to write the book afresh he would do it differently; he confesses, at least to himself, that on many points he would have written with more wisdom if he had displayed less confidence. His first impulse is to cut away redundancies which a maturer judgment no longer approves, and to interpolate after-thoughts which may help to rectify the general point of view. But however desirable such changes may appear, it is more easy to design than to achieve them. This is precisely my case in preparing a seventh edition of this book. I can easily conceive the book as improved in a hundred ways by excision and inclusion, but I lack the will for the task. To pursue my metaphor a trifle further; the returned adventurer recognises the need for a fresh coat of paint and some repairs here and there, but he is averse to what the architect calls "structural alterations."
