Excerpt from Another SheafThe Author who, in an earlier age, issued a third volume to a public that had practically ignored bis two preceding, might have been classed either among the very sanguine or the very obstinate. The Author of the following pages, though unable without a sigh to relinquish his claim to a place amongst the latter, must confess how inadequate is his record to establish it in the present year of grace. With bowed form and whitened head, with blinded eyes and broken spirit, should come the English poet who at the close of the nineteenth century would claim to have given evidence of purpose. His should be the most irrefragable conviction of the carelessness of the public, the most patient experience of the gaiety of publishers. Fashion alter fashion, folly after folly, should have arisen, buzzed about his unheeding ears, and been "gathered into death without a dawn, " while still he followed faithfully the leading of his star.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
