THE GLEBE VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2 SEPTEMBER 1914 SUBSCRIPTION Three Dollars Yearly THIS ISSUE 50 CENTS POEMS George Cronyn The only editorial policy of THE GLEBE is that embodied in its declaration of absolute freedom of expression, which makes for a range broad enough to include every temperament from the most radical to the most conservative, the only requisite being that the work should have unmistakable merit. Each issue will be devoted exclusively to one individual, thereby giving him an opportunity to present his work in sufficient bulk to make it possible for the reader to obtain a much more comprehensive grasp of his personality than is afforded him in the restricted spaces allotted by the other magazines. Published monthly, THE GLEBE will issue twelve books per year, chosen on their merits alone, since the subscription list does away with the need of catering to the popular demand that confronts every publisher. Thus, THE GLEBE can promise the best work of American and foreign authors, known and unknown. The price of each issue of THE GLEBE will be fifty cents and the yearly subscription three dollars.

CRONYN NEW YORK ALBERT AND CHARLES BONI 96 FIFTH AVENUE 1914 Copyright, 1914 By Albert and Charles Boni To touch the sleeping lids of Beauty Drawing thru finger-tips her dream--a birth Of hell and heaven for a nobler earth; This is the poet's duty. To sleep with stars, to dream a flower, From passing shadows pluck profound relation, With a divine wonder at its emanation; This is the poet's power. DIONYSUS ELEUTHERIOS THE PRAYER
