Excerpt from The Collected Poems, Lyrical and Narrative, of A. Mary F. Robinson (Madame Duclaux): With a Preface and Portrait We cannot all be great poets but the humblest, it they be sincere, may give a genuine pleasure.

But I count on his appreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
