Excerpt from Famous Single Poems and the Controversies Which Have Raged Around Them

From the citation of such examples, which might be prolonged indefinitely, one is tempted to proceed to a consideration of how infre quently even the greatest poets write great poetry, or to an enumeration of the poets who wrote none at all - this last to console certain one-poem men who bitterly resent being called such. But this, however instructive and amus ing, would be to wander outside the purpose of these papers and must be left to another time.
