ies in its every page."

"We are reminded both of Stevenson--to whom Mr. Noyes pays a glowing
tribute--and Lewis Carroll; yet there is no imitation; Mr. Noyes has a
distinct poetic style of his own.... In a matter-of-fact age such verse
as this is an oasis in a desert land."--_Providence Journal._

"It has seemed to us from the first that Noyes has been one of the most
hope-inspiring figures in our latter-day poetry. He, almost alone, of
the younger men seems to have the true singing voice, the gift of
uttering in authentic lyric cry some fresh, unspoiled
emotion."--_Post._

Mr. Richard Le Gallienne in the _North American Review_ pointed out
recently "their spontaneous power and freshness, their imaginative
vision, their lyrical magic." He adds: "Mr. Noyes is surprisingly
various. I have seldom read one book, particularly by so young a
writer, in which so many different things are done, and all done so
well.... But that for which one is most grateful to Mr. Noyes in his
strong and brilliant treatment of all his rich material, is the gift by
which, in my opinion, he stands alone among the younger poets of the
day, his lyrical gift."

Threshold," "On Baile's Strand," and "The Shadowy Waters."

William Butler Yeats stands among the few men to be reckoned with in
modern poetry, especially of a dramatic character. The _New York Sun_,
for example, refers to him as "an important factor in English
literature," and continues:--

"'Cathleen ni Hoolihan' is a perfect piece of artistic work, poetic
and wonderfully dramatic to read, and, we should imagine, far more
dramatic in the acting. Maeterlinck has never done anything so true
or effective as this short prose drama of Mr. Yeats's. There is not
a superfluous word in the play and no word that does not tell. It
must be dangerous to represent it in Ireland, for it is an Irish
Marseillaise.... In 'The Hour Glass' a noble and poetic idea is
carried out effectively, while 'A Pot of Brot
