О книге

Excerpt from The Glasgow Poets: Their Lives and Poems

It would be an interesting study to discover whether town or country is more congenial to the production of the "maker." The country indeed possesses all those appeals to the senses - the sights, sounds, and scents of nature - which are popularly supposed to offer the first themes for poetry. But there is room to question whether these sights, sounds, and scents are most keenly and consciously enjoyed by him who lives always among them. The senses, after all, are not our finest instruments of perception. Memory and imagination remain more subtle, and project infinitely rarer pictures on the mind. So it may be that the clerk in his city attic, with nothing in sight but the rooftops and the sky, has visions of green lanes and laughing seas, meadows of blue forget-me-not and moors of yellow asphodel that are seen in no such perfection by the mere dweller in their midst.
