Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poets and Puritans
With such a quest a man must not be in a hurry, and he does best to linger in company with the great men whose work he wishes to understand, and to postpone criticism to intimacy. This book comes in the end to be a record of personal acquaintances and of enjoyment. But one is never done with knowing the greatest men or the greatest works of art - they carry you on and on, and at the last you feel you are only beginning. That is.
