Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets to a Lady, Vol. 7
The Sonnets which are here published form only a portion of a much larger number which have been written on various subjects and on many di?'erent occasions. Whether or not they will be found to correspond in any way to the ideal which the writer kept before him in the composition of them, must of course be judged by others, but the views of poetry which he has sketched in this preface, were those by which he tried to guide himself in writing the verses. It is one thing to aim high and another thing to hit the mark aimed at, but it is sometimes better to fail gloriously in one's endeavour, than to obtain im mediate success, however gratifying, at the expense of that which alone can make the success lasting.
