Sight and Song (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sight and SongThe aim of this little volume is, as far as may be, to translate into verse what the lines and colours of certain chosen pictures sing in themselves; to express not so much what these pictures are to the poet, but rather what poetry they objectively incarnate. Such an attempt demands patient, continuous sight as pure as the gazer can refine it of theory, fancies, or his mere subjective enjoyment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
