Excerpt from Songs of London: A Medley Grave and GayThe streets, a-roar with boisterous noise Of rattling carts, of motor-gas exploding, Of ugly horns, tooting pneumatically, Of cogwheel'd grating cranes And the hoarse chant of news-boys, Hide all their busy-ness in veils of dust. An ancient square receives us, And din and turmoil quietly subside, Dying away beneath dark arches. Westminster precincts. Lo! Behold a murmuring fountain Plashing a...

Excerpt from Songs of London: A Medley Grave and Gay Pegasus Unharnessed Follow me! I am free. I wend my ways whither I list, Down into the abysses of sorrow, Up to the bright heavens of hope, Through the fair sweet vales of love, Over rippling brooks of happiness, Along the two-paths of necessity, By the cool shores of reason, Whither I list I wend my way. Like a whispering wind, Like a bantering breeze, Like a howling storm, Ther...

Excerpt from Chardin and His Times This little volume needs a few words of explanation, for, properly speaking, it is not a book, as which it appears, at all. It was originally written and delivered as a lecture, in April, at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. Nevertheless, I venture to say that it has a "raison d'etre" even in its present form, if only the reader will bear in mind that it is primarily a lecture delivered to an audience of a peculi...

Excerpt from Chardin Owing to the difficulty experienced in trying to provide a large number of illustrations, which after all it has not been possible to obtain, this book has been in the press rather longer than expected.
