New Poems
By FRANCIS THOMPSON
_Fcap. 8vo, 6s. net._
"There is in these new Poems a wider outlook, a greater
breadth of sympathy than were discovered in their
predecessors."--_Globe._
"A true poet.... At any rate here unquestionably is a new
poet, a wielder of beautiful words, a lover of beautiful
things."--I. ZANGWILL, in the _Cosmopolitan_,
Sept., 1895.
"At least one book of poetry has been published this year
that we can hand on confidently to other generations. It
is not incautious to prophesy that Mr. Francis Thompson's
poems will last."--_Sketch._

students and lovers of the more ambitious forms of
poetry."--_Glasgow Herald._

careful craftsmanship, and a rich vocabulary characterise

Reverie' in whose tender pathos and stately movement we
find an abiding charm."--_Literature._
