Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Verses Written in Paris by Various Members of a Group of "Intellectuals"
It is characteristic of these careless Bohemians and where, save in Paris, does one find the true Bohemian - that most of the choice Spirits amongst them write verse, some that is good, much that is delightfully bad, but all charmingly conceived to express the thought in mind, to gild the passing hour, to forge the amber shaft of light that decks the commonplace of existence. One might stumble into this true Bohemia and never suspect that those well-groomed, courteous cosmopolitans who, if not so famous as the men inwhose seats they sit, are yet the creditable inheritors of the wit, wisdom and wickedness of the brilliant minds which have rung down through the years from Voltaire to Verlaine.
