Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Masque of Death, and Other Poems It is with a regretful sense of a broken flight, a race half run, a song silenced in the midst, that I look upon these my collected verses, wrought, for the most part, in the brief and infrequent intervals of uncongenial and imperative labors. I feel that they constantly bear the impress of the weariness and depression which they were intended, in some measure at least, to relieve. This is not said by way of excuse for their shortcomings, which I perceive, perhaps more clearly than another can. To offer ones productions to criticism, and then deprecate it, is an affectation which I shall not be guilty of. But I shall be grateful if, with the perception of their faults, shall be united some appreciation of the endeavor which called them into being. That, I know, has a value and a worth of its own. If it win for me some degree of kindly recognition among thoughtful readers, my hopes will be more than fulfilled.
