Amy Lowell on
H. D.

“T O this poet, beauty is a thing so sharp
as to be painful, delight so poignant it
can scarcely be borne. Her extreme
sensitiveness turns appreciation to exquisite
suffering. Yet, again and again, she flings
herself bravely upon the spears of her own
reactions.

“But this is a lustre known to no one else.
The secret is ‘H. D.’s’ peculiar possession.
Her poems are native, personal, to a marked
degree. They show no slightest trace of those
influences which until recently ruled Ameri-
can art. Deeply affected by classic literature,
still it is only as a blush of colour that we
perceive it in her work.”

HER poems, capturing the firm delicacy of the Greek models, are like a set of Tanagra figurines.”—Louis Untermeyer.

"Severe concentration upon a damascene sharpness of sense-impression—a stripping of images to the white clear kernel."—Conrad Aiken.

POEMS OF

H. D.

WHAT is at once most incomprehensible in them and most moving is that their beauty is a matter of course. The pain and hardships, the iron discipline of all the ages, have been endured, but they have also been forgotten; and so the gift is not a gift of beauty only, but of love as well."

COLLECTED POEMS OF

H. D.

QUARRELS about free and formal verse seem singularly irrelevant in the presence of these magnificent poems. H. D. writes with indiscriminate perfection. She uses the freer rhythms with flawless art and the more formal meters with skilful and spontaneous rapture. Her reputation as one of the greatest poets of our time has been so often recognized by the leading critics of England and America that it is no longer necessary to expatiate on the unique qualities of her verse.

Amy Lowell:

"The 'new beauty' which H. D. is to make is not that of wind-tortured places. Hers is an art of balance, of repose, of mellowness, and charm. H. D. is a great artist."

All of her work is collected in this handsome volume.

THE LYRIC PSALTER

The Modern Reader's Book of Psalms

Edited by DR. HARRY H. MAYER

A vital message of hope and courage for a troubled world flows from the pages of this remarkable new book. Over sixty of the world's greatest poets have collaborated to give a modern interpretation of THE BOOK OF PSALMS.

The editorial procedure followed throughout THE LYRIC PSALTER has been to reveal primarily the Psalmists' spiritual thinking through the eyes and in the idiom of poets speaking in our modern epoch. The genuine beauty and vitality of the most inspiring of the Old Testament books have been scrupulously preserved; and, in some cases, two or more versions or interpretations of psalms are included, in order to reveal to the reader a wider variety of interpretation.

These poets, acknowledged masters of their craft, have attained grace and beauty of form, combined with accuracy and vigor. These renditions of the psalms will also bring keen enjoyment to all poetry lovers.

This book is well designed to delight and inspire readers of all denominations, for its appeal is directed toward fundamental human emotions — love, hope and courage.

A thorough cross index is provided for easier reference and selection by the layman.
