Klappentext
Excerpt from The Confessions of Hermes and Other Poems
In a time uhen much verse is written a new writer may be allowed to state his position, in order that he and the public may understand each other. Tim's can be done in the present case by announcing that the author is a disciple of no school, although he has drawn aid and inspiration from many schools. His aim has not been to imitate classical, or early English or early French worthies, because he believes that the humblest poet should use his own throat, instead of repeating the notes of nobler songsters. The inevitable Present which our lives 'sre at stake, in which we love and doubt and hope, in which Passion and Action forever ebb and ¿ow - ought to furnish the most familiar and sympathetic subjects for art. If we overcome To-day, To-morrow will be our ally. Before we turn back to catch the last faint echoes of the Pas', let us listen to the strong vital message the Present pours into our cars.
