A review from The Bookman: A Review of Books and Life, Volume 49:
Hugh McCrae, whose book of poems entitled "Satyrs and Sunlight" was recently published in Australia, gives us this song of Pan as an introductory poem:
I blow my pipes, the glad birds sing, The fat young nymphs about me spring, The sweaty centaur leaps the trees And bites his dryad's splendid knees; The sky, the water, and the earth Repeat aloud our noisy mirth, Anon, tight-bellied bacchanals, With ivy from the vineyard walls, Lead out and crown with shining glass The wine's red baby on the grass.
* * *
I blow my pipes, the glad birds sing, The fat young nymphs about me spring, I am the lord, I am the lord, I am the lord of everything!
As the Melbourne "Book Lover" puts it: "Could there be fashioned a poem that more gorgeously paints the plenteousness, the bubbling and overflowing joy, the pagan health, and the singing sunlight of our land?" appropriate ones.
