I f, as over its pages you may chance to potter, you discover its rather more pungent and hotter than this simple pretension might lead one to think, recollect, if you please, theres a devil in ink; and a critic who starts without any intention to do more than recount, will find his apprehension of the poets running on to minutely-limned pictures of the men as he sees them. Neither praises nor strictures were in my design for I tried to elude them; but a man, plus his writings, must always include them inferential ly, even if nothing be stated. As the picture emerges, the sitter stands rated. But who would be backward when others have done the very same thing in a search of pure fun? Sixty-odd years ago, a volume appeared called A Fable for Critics, wherein were ensphered eighteen authors of merit. The poet who selected them dared many sly prods just because he respected them. What a serious analysis may fail to discover is often revealed to a funloving lover. In the volume before you, you will find twenty-one modern poets popped off twixt a laugh and a pun. I have spared them no squib and no palm, what I give is a cursory view of them run through a sieve.
