Book Description

Excerpt from Fidelis and Other Poems Fidelis though quite a stranger to me, did what he could to get it placed in a high-class magazine, but failing after several attempts - one Editor accepting only to decline, enclosing a proof sheet and commendations wrote to me kindly, regretting his failure, and adds, I am interested in your verses, because they seem to me to show refined feeling, and an affectionate study of Wordsworth. To this I cannot lay claim, though, as a child, I took great delight in that poet's earlier and rhymed works, and no doubt was unconsciously a gainer thereby. The lines entitled A Reverie, which appeared in the Argosy, were honoured by a quotation in the Evening Standard, April zud, 1879, as containing fine poetic thoughts.
