Excerpt from Neptune's Toll: And Other VersesIt is dinned into us nowadays that poetry is either dead or dying. We have, in fact, been called upon so often to chant the funeral dirge that we are perversely coming to doubt whether Poetry is either passing or likely to pass while the sun and moon endure. True, there are twilight times when the great lights of song have left us, but these times are warmed by torches of pure and gentle fancy passed on by earnest hands of those who love Poetry and live their lives gladly as her true children. While they are with us, they do not fail of the poet's dearest need to touch the hearts of his own time, and for their service they will not go uncrowned in the day when the Master of Song awards the last unfading laurels.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
