Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of Exuberance: Together With the Trenches I Have copied Samuel Butler in following the mode with which musicians indicate by the term "op." followed by a numeral, the order of the composition of their works. His defence of this imitation remains on record, and I certainly cannot improve upon it. But in addition to this, perhaps inspired by his illuminative ideas on the significance in practice of the theory of descent with modification, I have gone further back and have followed a still more respectable precedent, namely, that of affixing to each poem the date of the year in which it was written. This looks, I am afraid, rather like presuming unwarrantably upon the interest of posterity, for the affixing of dates to works of art is the only really unequivocal task left to editors and commentators, and though I share the trades-union prejudice against doing other fellows out of their job, two things may be said in favour of forestalling them. The first is that the practice requires no apology, for nobody who is not interested in the development of the verses need worry with the dates at all.
