Poems and Rhymes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poems and Rhymes Here is a young writer, a reader of these verses may guess, untrammelled by literary traditions. He does not write as a literary man would write, but he writes musically and he knows the differ ence between prose and verse. Probably he is a young airman newly led to poetry by the wonders of żight. The guess would be right. These were the writer's first and last verses. The growth of power shown by the short series suggests to us that, had he lived, his name might have been added to the golden roll of poets; but it is written clearly on the golden roll of warriors only, and for the rest he must be numbered amongst the inheritors of unfulfilled renown.
