Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Evening in My Library Among the English Poets "You know who critics are?" wrote Disraeli - "the men who have failed in literature and art"; and Lord Knutsford, exercising with genial pleasure the privileges of a life-long friendship, has alluded to me in public as "a man who tries to write poetry," manifestly leaving the deduction to be made that my activities in this field of effort have failed. I seem therefore to possess the necessary qualifications for speaking with weight as a critic, and I cannot escape a sense of chagrin that, through his rigidly denying himself any traffic with the Muses, I am precluded from displaying an affectionate reciprocity to my old friend by dealing faithfully with his poems in this book. But besides possessing the authority to speak as a critic so felicitously indicated by Lore Knutsford, I can assert supplementary that I have lived all my life in libraries, first in my father´s, which was magnificent, and afterward: in my own, which is precious.
