description: This anthology is more correctly a compilation of translations selected primarily for those who have no means of enjoying French poetry in the original. Expanded from a collection gathered originally for personal pleasure, it is my belief that most of the selections here included are of high poetical merit, fully capable of standing squarely on their own feet as adequate renderings of the original.... Originally published in 1920 when World War I had just ended and relations between America and France were at a political and cultural peak.
