Selected Poems, Old and New (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Selected Poems, Old and New<br><br>The Religion of Humanity has for some time been out of print, and many of the poems published in that book have, through the courtesy of Messrs. Rivington, become a part of the present volume. Special thanks are due to Messrs. A. D. Innes and Co., for permitting the inclusion of several lyrics from Love Triumphant; and to Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston and Co., for the extracts from Love's Music, as well as to Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Messrs. Isbister and Co., to the proprietors of the Oxford Magazine, the Spectator, and others.<br><br>A few of the poems have not appeared before. The sonnets 'For Dreyfus,' having been written in eager indignation and sympathy while this book was actually passing through the press, are possibly too much touched by the heat and passion of the moment, and hardly give enough honour to those true sons and daughters of France who have, by stupendous effort and at immeasurable sacrifice and risk, done their utmost to right a great wrong.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
