Excerpt from The Welded Link, and Other Poems
At the risk of being deemed affected, but in all sincerity, I assure the readers of the following pages that I have not rushed unadvisedly before the public in the rôle of author. On the contrary, I do so with many misgivings as to my ability to afford that sort of mental pabulum and entertainment which is sought and enjoyed by the intelligent and the refined in feeling and thought (and it is the appreciation and approval of these I most desire), and I only do so upon the advice, and even at the earnest solicitation, of many (some of whom are strangers to me personally) for whose judgment I have the highest respect. More than two years ago one in whom I have great confidence and hold in high esteem, both for his religious principles and his intelligence, advised me more than once to "write a book of poems." But I did not even entertain the idea. Since then I have, from time to time, written and published short "poems" (as others have chosen to call them), and written a great deal more that I have not published, nor ever expected to publish.
