Excerpt from Hans Breitmann About Town: And Other New BalladsThe likening of the Party, at which everybody got drunk 'ash bigs' and overeat themselves like the same noble animals, to the 'lot'ely golden cloud dat ¿oat on de mountain's prow, ' and to the star Whose light has been dissipated ages since, and again the 'lyrical cry' of despair, as Mr. Matthew Arnold calls it, with Which the ballad ends - these are stings oi' satire which contain more humor, and strike deeper than even Jeames' vulgarly lacquered imitations of sentiment. When Breitmanu's greed becomes maudlin, the ballads attain their climax in art. - London Spectator.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
