Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of Lionel Johnson: Including Some Now Collected for the First Time, With a Prefatory Memoir I have been asked to write a few words of introduction to the following selection from the poems of the late Lionel Johnson. I am impressed by the fact that this should have been done by one who knew him more intimately - by Mrs. Tynan Hinkson or by Mr. Selwyn Image, for example. My only claim to write is based upon a profound esteem for Mr. Johnson´s literary work; he was distinguished alike as a poet and a prose writer, and in both departments he must ultimately command a larger public than has hitherto been his. He was a true poet and a tine critic. Those who knew Lionel Johnson mourned him deeply when his life was cut short in 1902 at the early age of thirty-five. That slight boyish frame enclosed a brilliant intellect, remarkable intuitive power as to the best in literature, and an extraordinary fund of knowledge. With some people the capacity for assimilating books at an early age seems well nigh miraculous. When Dr. Johnson said that he knew more at seventeen than "now," speaking as an old man, he did but note the facility with which youth, in certain isolated cases, can acquire knowledge.
