Excerpt from Three Counties, and Other Poems: With an Introduction by R. B. Cunninghame-Graham

The bird and man both use the air, but with a difference. SO do the poet and the man of prose use pen and ink.

Familiarity with tools, used in two branches Of one art (or trade), is apt to prove a snare.

Music and poetry, the most ethereal Of the arts upon the face of them, are in a way more mathematical than prose, for both have for mulac. Hence, their appeal goes quicker to men's minds, and oversteps countries and languages to some degree, and makes it difficult to write about them. Of late, young poets, those who have bulked the largest in the publiceye, those that the world has hailed as modern, have often been Obscure. What is modernity To be modem is to touch the senses of the age you write for To me, a fool who owns a motor-car is just as great a fool as was a fool of the stone age.
