"There is no necessary difference in artistic value between a good poem about a flower in the hedge and a good poem about the scent in a sachet ... For in art there can be no prejudices, only results. If we are to save people's souls by the writing of verses, well and good. But if not, there is no choice but to admit an absolute freedom of choice."--Preface, p. xv.
