[Followed by a fine sonnet] You like the country better than the town / And very willingly would I dwell therein / Afar from the intolerable din / That makes New York a barbarous Babylon; / From all this mad bombardment of the brain / To fields where still and comely thoughts may reign / Deep in your stately mansion old and brown reign / And colored like a Springtime copper beech : / My God, I would give anything to reach / That old house standing in the misty rain, / And turn my thoughts to things that do not pass / While gazing through a window at the grass / And wet, young oak leaves fingering the pane. - Oliver St. J. Gogarty." Physical description: x, 342 p. : front., illus., ports. ; 25 cm. more |
