Excerpt from The Christ-Child, and Other Poems
And since poetic insight and poetic art are capable of the same continuous development as all other art and insight, and no man likes the unripe fruit of his boyhood to be taken for the best produce of his fuller powers, I may be pardoned for adding that the two longest and most ambitious poems in this volume, as well as that from which its title is taken, were written before the age of twenty. It is the more needful for me to say this because my verses are not in the least likely to meet with a favour which might encourage me to try better things.
