Riassunto

Excerpt from The Bird in Song: A Collection of Poems

For reasons of space I have omitted narrative poems and, with the exception of Lovelace's The Falcon, also the more lengthy descriptive pieces. Finally Edgar Poe's Raven will not be found here. With all its inimitable imaginative touches it appears to me rather a study in the supernatural than a poem suggested by a living bird.

I feel that some explanation is needed in these scientific days for including the bat among birds. The best plea I can urge on this ground is, that the bulk of this little book being made up of the works of past masters, some splendid precedents for such inaccuracies could certainly be discovered from the same source.
