Synopsis
Excerpt from The Don and the Dervish: A Book of Verse
To the past and present Editors of the Cambridge Review, where much of the verse collected in this volume has appeared at intervals during the last twenty years, I owe more than a conventional acknowledgment of gratitude. I desire also to thank the Editor of the Granta and the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press for permission to in clude several pieces which seemed worth reprinting. Perhaps the Oriental translations, chiefly from the mystical and semi-mystical poetry of Persia, will make amends to some who think, as I do, that a'erz'pere in loco pub/ice is a serious matter.
