| "A personal book is made for personal readers. In an age of wars, in war-time, and in the midst of war, such a volume is almost certain to be condemned, or what is just as serious to the writer, ignored. We have been up to shun the lyrical ego, to look at ourselves from without, to make a science of our acts. The poet in particular has reacted to a revolution in knowledge by developing the most advanced self-consciousness possible, an intolerance for his own personality, that is just short of madness." (from the preface) | |
