the names of all that galaxy of poets that made the later Victorian
era the most brilliant in poetry that England had known since the
Elizabethan.” ` _Westminster Review._

Ninth Impression.
“Love songs, faery themes, moods of meditation, scenes of legendary
wonder ... is it possible that they should become so infinitely
thrilling, touching, haunting in their fresh treatment, as though they
had never been, or poets had never turned to them? In this poet’s
hands they do so become. Mr. Yeats has given us a new thrill of
delight, a new experience of beauty.” _Daily Chronicle._

“Before the war Mr. Stead was known to Canadians as ‘The Poet of the
Prairies.’ He must now be ranked as a ‘Poet of the Empire.’ ... There
is a strength, a beauty, a restrained passion in his war verses which
prove his ability to penetrate into the heart of things such as very
few of our war poets have exhibited.”--_Daily Express._

expressed in lucent thought and jewelled words. ‘The Ambush’ is a
lyric of mastery and fascination, alike in conception and rhythm,
which should be included in any representative anthology of Georgian
poetry.” _Daily Express._
