The Adventures of Seumas Beg; The Rocky Road to Dublin
Stephens, James
Poetry
Were golden star-points dusted through
The great, wide, silent vault of blue:
Then I said to me--God is good
And the world is fair--and where I stood
I knelt me down and bent my head,
And said my prayers, and went to bed.

_BY THE SAME AUTHOR._
THE CROCK OF GOLD. Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
_THE PALL MALL GAZETTE_.--"A wise, beautiful, and humorous book.... If
you could have given Sterne a soul and made him a poet he might have
produced _The Crock of Gold_."
THE DEMI-GODS. Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
_STANDARD_.--"The book is full of fine knowledge and fantasies in every
shade of gaiety and gravity, and we would call its author a magician
did we not feel that everything he writes is perfectly natural to
him.... This book would prove, if proof were needed, that Mr.
Stephens's _Crock of Gold_ was not a mere _tour de force_, but a real
ebullition of genius and a token of all the good work that was to come."
HERE ARE LADIES. Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
_THE TIMES_.--"A story may have many and diverse effects upon its
reader. It may leave him smiling, laughing, frowning (perhaps
weeping), angry, perplexed, exalted, afraid. The bits of stories in
_Here are Ladies_, the sketches, essays, snapshots, call them what you
will, will leave him for the most part happy and hungry--for more."
THE CHARWOMAN'S DAUGHTER. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.
_PUNCH_.--"A little gem.... It is a very long time indeed since we
read such a human, satisfying book. Every page contains some happy
phrase or illuminating piece of character drawing."
SONGS FROM THE CLAY. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.
_EVENING STANDARD_.--"They have the sense of elfin mischief and keen
spiritual sympathy with inarticulate nature which is so recognisable a
feature of all Mr. Stephens's writings, prose and verse. Many of the
poems are models of that simplicity which is the supreme art of poesy,
and in all may be found an underlying verity, masked may be with smiles
or tears."
