Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Where Duty Leads I have been asked by my friends to write a short preface to this, my first published work. I do not like prefaces. They are super uous usually and savor of excuses. Perhaps my friends were in the wrong in asking me to write this; perhaps not. They who have read these poems while in manuscript have criticized. They who were kind in their criticisms I wish to thank for the encouragement they gave. They who were unkind but conscientious I also wish to thank for the determination they aroused in me to prove that lyric beauty, in metre, rhythm and rhyme, was not essential to poetic beauty. Truth is: All the words in the English language, except a few, are beau tiful, if used in the correct place. All are ugly if misplaced. I have made no attempt at lyric beauty.
