Excerpt from Transcriptions: From Art and Nature From afar in the misty past I have cherished the wish to have my verses collected, and to see associated with them those two monosyllables to the embryo author of so momentous import - book-form. Sometimes, furtively, hither and thither flickering like a will-o'-the-wisp across a fen, hope has come and gone, sometimes it has loomed before me, clear and lucent in glowing expansion - a veritable Fata Morgana, then, again, it has faded and vanished into such nothingness that, in pitying contempt of my past credulity, a scornful smile has curled my lip. But now that, thanks to unexpected friendly aid, the desire has at last materialized, in trepidation I ask myself how will so long-wished-for an embodiment be regarded by those for whose patronage it purposes to sue?
