Excerpt from A Short Day's Work: Original Verses, Translations, From Heine, and Prose Essays
Translations which form the contents of this little book are the work of a young writer, Monica Peveril Turnbull, who died March 4, 1901, at the age of twenty-two years. Though the pieces, here printed as they were written, were never revised by the author for publication, and in other circumstances would probably have been presented in somewhat different form, it has now seemed well to publish the selection, and offer to a wider circle of readers these fruits of a short day's work. A few may care to know in what surroundings that work was done.
