Excerpt from Fifty Perfect Poems
Poetry has manifold applications: the telling of a story, the picturing of a landscape, the analysis of a motive, the awakening of a national sentiment, the utterance of a pas sion, the suggestion of a dream; and, in the hands of a master, verse may lend its charm to almost any subject, however homely. The endeavor has been made to include in this group of poems a wide variety in kind, only demanding that each shall be perfect after its kind, and having a reasonable regard for the possibilities of illustration. It was believed that such a collection, enriched by the pencils of the best artists, would have a peculiar and permanent value for the lovers of poetry.
