Excerpt from Wordsworth Collection
As the audience whom I addressed consisted mainly of young persons whose chief employ ments la-y elsewhere than in libraries, I felt that I had no right to reckon on any wide acquaint ance with English literature. This will account for. The occurrence in the later chapters of many well-known passages of English Poetry, which to persons at all conversant with letters may seem too familiar even for quotation. If, however, the passages quoted served to illustrate the views I wished to impress, I was not desirous to travel beyond well-worn paths.

Through close analysis of the works of some of the greatest poets, from Homer and Virgil to Wordsworth and Shelley, the book demonstrates how poetry can deepen our appreciation of nature's beauty, illuminate its mysteries, and connect us to the larger rhythms of existence.
