The White Wallet (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The White Wallet

I have to thank many for the permission to reprint both poems and prose, and the full list of names of those authors and publishers who have kindly helped me will be found in the schedule, placed for greater convenience at the end of this volume.

The bee is little among such as fly, but her fruit is the chief of sweet things, and as the honeycomb bears witness to summer rather than to the various flowers that made its store, so must The White Wallet, in many instances, tell simply of Poetry, and bear no record of individual names. For I have now no means of tracing the source of many quota tions to be found among its pages.

Where one asterisk is marked, it signifies the source of the excerpt is unknown. Where two asterisks are placed, they signify the poem is anony mous. Where three are found, they represent my own signature.
