"To those of us who see in poetry the perfect flowering of life, the
story of Rupert Brooke will always mean chiefly the score or so of poems
in which he reached to the full maturity of his genius and gave
imperishable expression to the very heart of his personality.... Not
even the fact that the man who wrote the sonnets, than which after long
generations nothing shall make the year 1914 more memorable, served and
died for England at war, can add one beat to their pulse. The poetry
that shines and falls across them in one perfect and complete wave is,
as poetry must always be, independent of all factual experience, and
comes wholly from the deeper experience of the imagination."—From
"RUPERT BROOKE" by John Drinkwater, in the _Contemporary Review_.
December 1915.
*** The poems on pp. 39-75 of _Selected Poems_ are taken from the above
volume.
