The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man against the Sky by Edwin Arlington Robinson: "The `Book of Annandale', a splendid poem included in this collection,
is one of the most moving emotional narratives found in modern poetry."
-- ~Review of Reviews~.
". . . His handling of Greek themes reveals him as
a lyrical poet of inimitable charm and skill." -- ~Reedy's Mirror~.
"A poem that must endure; if things that deserve long life get it."
-- ~N. Y. Evening Sun~.
"Wherever you hear people who know speak of American poets . . .
they assume that you take the genius and place of Edwin Arlington Robinson
as granted. . . . A man with something to say that has value and beauty.
His thought is deep and his ideas are high and stimulating."
