ana new this I. a (inllienne. book includes
poems bv Hupert Hroeke, Walter de In

generation. Of course. It also contains
the famous pieces which have responded
te some call in the heart of generation
after generation. There are Milten's
"Lycidas" and his sonnet en his blind

Shakespeare are included. The whole of
Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner," Wilde's
"UaJlad of Rending (Jael" and Francis
Thompson's "Hound of Heaven" are

Matthew Arneld, for he devotes several
