Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bibelot, Vol. 9: A Reprint of Poetry and Prose for Book Lovers, Chosen in Part From Scarce Editions and Sources Not Generally Known
We need not hesitate over the story of the Anthology as it has come down to us; Mr. Symonds has made it all interesting already, and what matters to us is that we have the poems in their original form. Being fugitive pieces, they will speak for themselves. We don't want to say, Now all this was a man's diathesis, and here is his heart-beat,' but Here is this man's heart-beat: judge his diathesis.'
