Excerpt from Poems Everybody is familiar with prefaces to collections of poems, in which the author declares that, if he has now brought together in permanent form a number of fugitive pieces, it was done with hesitation, if not with reluctance, and in deference to the pressure of many friends, on whose judgment he placed more reliance than on his own. The author of these verses can plead no such justification. Though most of them have already seen the light in different journals and magazines, there has been no clamour for their reappearance, and there is little sign of a queue forming outside the early door. Nor is he conscious of having any weighty message to deliver. No thread of a common purpose runs through the poems that could give them consistency or coherence. He often wrote to amuse himself; at other times he wrote to ease his mind. And if he published then what he has now brought together, it was because it seemed more human to address others than to go about speaking to himself.
