Excerpt from The Christ-Child, and Other Poems
And since poetic insight and poetic art are capable of the same continuous development as all other art and insight, and no man likes the unripe fruit of his boyhood to be taken for the best produce of his fuller powers, I may be pardoned for adding that the two longest and most ambitious poems in this volume, as well as that from which its title is taken, were written before the age of twenty. It is the more needful for me to say this because my verses are not in the least likely to meet with a favour which might encourage me to try better things.

Excerpt from The Christ-Child, and Other Poems
At a time when our country can boast not only four poets of consummate genius and achievement, but a whole legion of thoughtful, musical, and copious verse-writers, I am not so foolish as to imagine that this little volume, even were it very far stronger than it is, coud win its way through them into 'the land of matters unforgot,' and I am far too doubtful of the general appetite for 'minor verse' to suppose that these poems can bring me any other kind of gain. Indeed I publish them at this particular time partly because I expect from them neither name nor profit. A scanty and laborious leisure leaves me small chance of swelling them into a volume from which I coud hope either one or the other, and their publication will at least remove from me enticement to waste time in such an attempt.
