Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetry of Thomas S. Jones, Jr. The essence of all fine and subtle things is to leave them unprofaned by definition, and it is precisely in this reserve, this spiritual reticence, that the work of Mr. Thomas S. Jones, Jr., has its beauty and distinction. Mr. Jones has the gift of suggestion, of invoking the mood without analyzing it, which gives to his work a delicacy of feeling and fineness of touch at variance with the technique of modern verse, which tends more and more to elaboration. In this regard he has a strong affinity with Housman and Miss Reese, though, in the main, unaffected by their manner. Indeed, when he trusts himself wholly, as in the lyric "I went back an old-time lane," or The Little Ghosts or Sometimes, letting the mood convey itself in all its sheer simplicity, his individual note is at once apparent. Along this line lies, unmistakably, his personal gift. Modern poetry in its intricacy of form has strayed so far from the unaffected candor of the early lyrists that verse having this lucidity, this directness, has at once an appeal beyond a more self-conscious art.
