Présentation de l'éditeur

By FRANCIS BICKLEY BUT for occasional and negligible echoes, the poetic movement of the nineties, the decadent movement, as we call it for convenience, has long been over ;its poets are dead or have come to see life in fresh, less crepuscular lights ;and such characteristic work of the school as is still worth reading would go into a ver slender volume.

Their attitude towards the most common theme of poetry is worth considering in this connecti
