Excerpt from From the Prairie: A Collection of Verse
Dryden says that A poet is a maker, as the word signifies; and he who cannot make, that is invent. Hath the name for nothing. The reader of this volume will see that its author has more than the name, - that she is truly a maker and pusesses in large measure the poetic genius, - one who, as she herself declares writes because she cannot help'it, -one' in whose heart - d wells some ctfiuence of Wisdom some tone-oi the eternal melodies.
Rushmore. Minn.' november, 1901. Rev. A. F. Thomson, presbyterian pastor.
