How to Read Poetry (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Read Poetry

It may be plainly stated, in beginning, that this little book is in no sense a didactic or tech nical treatise, that it sheers humbly far away from the academic or educational religion. d104books, conveying formal poetic informa tion, offering best and most incontrovertible of studious reasons for the why and how of poetry reading, are thicker than ?owers in May or sad hearts in war time, but here is no hint of addition to their number.

The best argument that can be advanced in favor of marriage is that marriage has been found happy. The best of all reasons for reading poetry is because one loves it. And the best way to read poetry is with the love that, for love's sake, finds its own path way, works its own miracles of sympathy and understanding.
