Book Description
Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry by British and American Authors, Vol. 5: Descriptive and Reflective Verse Most of the poems here are lyrics and couse quently freely varying in form. A few of the character pieces have a strong dramatic quality and some reflective verse is but poorly covered by the term lyric at the best. It is interesting to see the larger proportion, as compared with the vol ume of pure lyrics, of blank verse and of other linked and continued measures. As the emotional element of the verse becomes less intense, the melody becomes gentler and less obtrusive, - in other words, form and content are not to be di vorced.
