Excerpt from The Muse in Exile: To Which Is Added an Address on the Poet's Place in the Scheme of Life
The greater number of the poems and verses in this volume now make their first appearance; others are recovered from the pages of the Times, the Daily News, the Daily Chronicle, the Nation, the Spectator, the New York Times, the Irish Times, the Cornhill Magazine, and the Quest; and I am indebted to the editors of these journals and periodicals for liberty to reprint my contributions. The "Hymn for a Progressive People" has appeared, without that title, in the new hymnals of the Unitarian and Congregational churches in America, but has not hitherto been published in England.
Concerning one short poem - the lines entitled "Science and Nature" - I wish here to say a few words. On its appearance in a newspaper this little piece evoked rejoinders, couched in vivacious verse, from two writers perhaps more truly distinguished by their prose - Mr. Eden Phillpotts and Mr. Chiozza Money.
