"A shining pathway up which we can confidently travel to those regions

reach." _Boston Transcript_.
"Quaintly lovely fragments." _Chicago Herald_.
"Exquisitely conceived and with all the distinctive grace which marked
'Song Offerings.'" _San Francisco Chronicle_.

"The songs have the quality of universality--the greatest quality which
poetry can possess." _Chicago Tribune_.
"As perfect in form as they are beautiful and poignant in content." _The
Athenaeum, London_.
"Nothing richer nor sweeter.... Something of Omar Khayyam and something
of Rabbi ben Ezra, expressed more at length and more mystically. In
smoothly flowing rhythms, with vivid little pictures of life's
activities, the poet sings of old age, the fruit gathering time, its
sadness and its glory, its advantages and its sorrows." _The Boston
Globe_.

"... filled with tender pathos and spiritual beauty. There are two acts,
and the story is that of a frail little Indian lad condemned to
seclusion and inaction by ill health. He makes a new world for himself,
however, by his imagination and insatiable curiosity, and the passersby
bring the world of action to him. The play has been presented in England
by the Irish Players, and fully adapts itself to the charming simplicity
and charm which are their principal characteristics." _Phila. Public
Ledger_.
"A beautiful and appealing piece of dramatic work." _Boston Transcript_.
