DEDICATION

THIS Anthology owes its general character to one who, during the last weeks of her life with me, would put aside her sufferings to discuss its making. She was no very frequent reader of printed poetry; but her response to the whole poetical element in the world was instant and eager, her sense of style in life infallible and exquisite. She was of those women who, guarding and constantly exemplifying the poetry of life, make possible the poetry in books. To her I offer my humble part in this volume.
