O knihe

Excerpt from Poems

Some years ago, when wiseacres were trying to find the cause for the growing dissatisfaction which resulted in divorce, one of them said it lay in the fact that men and women needed to read more poetry. At first this seems an absurd thing to say, but look into it a little. Poetry is ideality. Imagin ation gives expression, and the development of these qualities brings the power to put one's self into an other's place, to understand that other's view point. It is easy to be patient, to forgive when one has insight into the offender's heart, and can see as he sees. Imagination is a useful characteristic for family comfort. Poetry cuitivates the sweeter side of one's nature, and the more practical a person may be in character, or by reason of daily work, a few moments with a great poet are like a breath of ¿esh air after sitting in a crowded hall. The rhythmic arrange ment of words, born from a heart of feelings, in¿u ences as oniy music does. One little verse carried in the mind through the day, will charm impatience away. It uplifts one to where petty things lose their power to annoy. Our grandmothers found this same effect from one or two of the psaims, the grandest poems ever written.
