Entered at the Boston, Mass., Post-Office as Second-Class Mail Matter POET-LORE A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF LETTERS _Founded January, 1889_ Devoted to Appreciation of the Poets and Comparative Literature. Its object is to bring Life and Letters into closer touch with each other, and, accordingly, its work is carried on in a new spirit: it considers literature as an exponent of human evolution rather than as a finished product, and aims to study life and the progress of ideals in letters.
