satisfactory introduction. This was Undoubted-

that the religious expression of the book was
not sufficiently emphatic" The unpublished
preface begins with these words: The book

And far hills fade IS f in flight.
And evening trembles into nlSnt
And roads like wavy ribbons rise,
And hills cncircIe, fold in fold
Her pensive, purple towers loom;
And from a depth Of melting gloom
Leap cut her hundred slabs OF gold.
IrDon the air soft voices go
Faint echoes Of a lcveIer day
When life was ours. and life vas May,
When the first shrinking violets blow.
And all the sadness Of the years,
And all the pains Of old desire
Revive. and. like smouldering fire,
Burn deeper for the rain Of tears.
Yet are the dead not wholly gone;
They bore hor name ~ land and sea,
Their higher parts were hers and she,
when all is done, reclairls her own
So as her festaI windows glow,
Within their casteilatcd frame,
Each light becomes the ardent flame
