Excerpt from Two Fancies and Other Poems A youth had sought for knowledge deep and vast, All learning of all ages and all tongues, Had traversed foreign lands and in far climes Had made him not a stranger; he had searched The depths of others' hearts and, what is more, Had learned to know his own he had drunk deep Of life, of love, and tasted now of fame, And found the goal was nothing; he had plunged Deep in the mystic wells of ancient lore.

Excerpt from The Pleasures of Fancy: A Poem; In Two Parts Dost thou ne'er quit the present with a sigh To muse a moment on the years gone by? I know thou dost: and as, to Fancy's eyes, The faded colours of those years arise, I know thou art as he who views the shore, Which, toil-spent, drowning, he must reach no more. And thou, e'en thou, to whom 'tis giv'n to know The utmost fame or fortune can bestowfl In frequent, fervent, and unmingled joy, Is not the man a beggar to the boy? Does not the happiest grandsire fondly raise To youth an altar of incessant praise And loathe the present as degenerate times, Fertile alone of follies and of crimes? To independence, wisdom, without claim, Calm'd passions, rest from toil, discretion, fame; Barr'd e'en from common freedom, why is this Remember'd, hallow'd, as the age of bliss? From Fancy's magic spring the charms of youth, And still 'tis Eden till she yields to Truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Prose Fancies: Second Series I beg the reader's pardon! I forgot that the very mention of the word smacks of vulgarity. Yet, all the same, I venture to think that a secret taste for sausages among the upper classes is more widespread than we have any idea of. I confess that Beauty and her poet were at first ashamed of ad mitting their vulgar frailty to each other. They needed to know each other very well first. Yet there is nothing, when once con fessed, that brings two people so close as a taste for sausages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Two Brothers: And Other Poems The following Poems have been written from time to time during the last twenty-seven years, and have many of them appeared in print before; but being for the most part now inaccessible to friends who kindly continue to ask for them, I have ventured to group them in this volume. Some of them are here published for the first time. The dates, which are affixed to most of the Poems, will enable the reader to assign the lighter pieces to my early home and college days. May He who directs the wind-borne seed to the genial soil only plant a few winged words in some hearts, where they shall not be wholly unfruitful, and my hopes will be abundantly fulfilled.

Excerpt from Gems of Thought, and Flowers of Fancy I have long wished to have all my favourite poems in one book, so that I could lay my hand upon them without trouble or, disappointment when, like York, they happened to be wanted. I also desired to bring together the good short poems of Lancashire, and its borders. Both of these plans had serious drawbacks. The first, I found, would make a book too much like other collections and the second, would be of too local a character for a general publisher to bring out so I have amalgamated the two, in about equal proportions. This design will require two vo lumes 3 the first of which is now placed before the reader: its companion is in preparation, and will be issued shortly, under a new title.

Excerpt from Way-Side Fancies Spooned and mooned after Charty Luke for the last two years, and even went so far as to nail up an Old horse shoe over her door to ward off the bags. And Nancy Trivett had wasted a host of little atten tions, including five new bonnets, and a sixpenny valentine on Sam, while the couple expectant had actually taken the identical cottage Mrs. Coddlin had her eye on for the last six months, with the best and most unfailing well in the parish, and a famous green field opposite for a drying ground Thus private and interested motives peeped through the anger of these, good folks; but' the mingled spite Of all Little Pitm chard put together (and that was not a little) fell short of the concentrated malignity of old Hester Cobble dick, the wise woman of the place. What her grudge was, no one knew; unless that, like the old fairy in the nursery tale, they omitted to ask her to the wedding.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
