insight and power.

_Dundee Advertiser._--... The title poem has the same haunting effect
upon the reader as "The Ancient Mariner." The "Ode on the Passing of
Autumn" is a fine achievement.... We congratulate Mr. Mackereth on his
undoubted powers of sustainment.

_The Daily Chronicle._--His work is virile. His verse goes with a ring
and a tang.

_The Scotsman._--The title poem is a grim and powerful ballad.... The
book will be read with interest and admiration by all who value the
classic traditions of English poetry.

_The Yorkshire Post._--... He has the right to a place among those who
are creating the distinctive poetry of our time. In the two pieces, the
splendid "Ode on the Passing of Autumn," and "The Gods that Pass and Die
Not," Mr. Mackereth attains a height where splendid promise enlarges
into great performance.

_The Bookman._--... It proves him to be the possessor of a quick eye for
beauty, of imagination and sensitiveness. It repeatedly echoes great
work, yet still remains undeniably his own.

_The Nation._--What he has to say is vigorous and virile. He is not for
dealing in the vagueness of dissatisfaction, but endeavours to make his
writing an affirmation of joy.

_The Glasgow Herald._--To pass to his poems is to pass into mountain air
where sane thought dwells.... His heart is in poetry, and his own
pleasure in it merely as a word movement is manifest in every line of
such poems as "Mad Moll" and "Pan Alive."

_The New York Times._--A virile and hopeful singer ... resonant as a
trumpet-call to those who build the palace of life.

_The Dial_ (Chicago).--Clearly the work of a poet.... The volume will
well reward him who ventures into its pages.

_Literary Digest._--... The longer poems have a deep Atlantic roll....
In all his thought one can feel the lift of a tide.

_Glasgow Herald._--"Always poetry--poetry vital with energy and clothed
with beauty and at times with splendour."

_Literary World._--"Deserves attention from those who can enjoy one of
the finest pleasures of the mind--namely, that process by which the

fury of joy."

greatest attention, and welcome wherever it appears."

_The Athenaeum._--"We quail before his t
