Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Great American Poets As poetry is the highest form of literary expression, and as children are attracted by the music of rhyme and rhythm, these sketches have been devoted to the lives of poets. The works of other men live, but their personality dies out of their labors; the poet who reproduces himself in his creation, as no other artist does or can, goes down to posterity with all of his per sonality blended with whatever is imperishable in his song. A single lyric is enough, if one can only find in his soul and finish in his intellect one of those jewels fit to sparkle on the stretched forefinger of all time.
