Excerpt from City Tides The late Richard Watson Gilder once wrote a poem in which he told of the joy the world feels when the voice of a new singer is heard. I knew what he meant when I discovered Masefield one Autumn day as I sat in a park in Chester. I was on my way to Liverpool to catch a steamer, and in a little bookstall I bought a copy of the English Review, and read for the first time The Everlasting Mercy. I remember that I was alone, and of course ones first impulse at such a time is to spread the good tidings. I could scarcely wait to reach the boat, and there, luckily, I found a host of appreciative companions. That copy of the English Review looked as if it had been through many a storm when we finally reached home. Now I do not mean to preface this sheaf of song by young Mr. Coates with any such rash statement that here is a great poet, that a new planet is swimming into our ken, or that life has found an original interpreter.
