Description
Excerpt from Sons of God and Daughters of Men
As this book of verse, the result of a youthful impulse acted upon without disciplined formula tion, is offered the public in my maturity, I offer with it some apologies, not for the content or tone, but for the presentation. Development and wider reading have since taught me much, but not, as yet, the restraint to forego an unauthorized theme and purpose, the control of the sonnet form, nor cre ative visualizing and the manipulation of the concrete symbol. One hope remains, however, that the passionate sincerity of youth, with some of its fire and spontaneity (if these are not as foreign to the sonnet as is didacticism to verse in gen eral) may be ameliorating, though never redeem ing, features.
