Excerpt from Collection of Kansas Poetry
Though the crops of last year were not all that we wished in this region, there is abundant hope in the bright spring days when this little book goes forth to its fate. Kansas has resumed her smile; and is happy, after her trustful fashion, in 'the loving promises of the season. She has always had literary aspirations, and not a few of her citizens believe that the new Athens, if ever a new one is buiided, will be some where Within her borders. And now, though unusually busy with her plowing and planting, she will, I doubt not, turn aside for a moment to receive this tribute Of verse, con scious that she deserves all that can be said in her praise. Kansas is herself a poem; a great, heroic, stormy epic, in which is told a story of more than Homeric grandeur. And it is this that makes us most proud to be her children. Her fields and flocks are pleasant to look upon, and her walls of corn are a better protection to our people than gates of iron; yet it is for something better than these that we give to 'kan sas our second-best love.
