Excerpt from Islaford, and Other Poems: A Book for Winter Evenings and Summer MoodsThe question, What is Poetry? has been so often, and so often ill-naturedly, asked, that an attempt to answer it by the humble writer of these pages, might seem incompatible with the modesty of a maiden-authorship, and be received only as evidence of ignorance, inexperience, or presumption, for both poet and prose-man have done the same so often with so little satisfaction that an inquiry into the circumstance and cause of their failure, must be regarded as the most probable preliminary of a more hopeful investigation: this is not a task either for a young author or a preface.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
