Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crowning Hour, and Other Poems
I expect neither profit nor general fame by my writings; and I consider myself as having been amply repaid without either. Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward. It has soothed my af?ictions; it has multiplied and refined my enjoyments; it has endeared solitude; and it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the Goon and the beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.
