COLLECTED POEMS OF GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSEL. This book holds what
poetry of mine I would wish my friends to read. I have omitted what
in colder hours seemed to me to have failed to preserve some heat
of the imagination but in that colder mood I have made but slight
revision of those retained. However imperfect they seemed, I did
not feel that I could in after hours melt and remould and make
perfect the form if I was unable to do so in the intensity of
conception, when I was in those heavens we breathe for a moment and
then find they are not for our clay. When I first discovered for
myself how near was the King in His beauty I thought I would be the
singer of the happiest songs. Forgive me, Spirit of my spirit, for
this, that I have found it easier to read the mystery told in tears
and understood Thee better in sorrow than in joy that, though I
would not, I have made the way seem thorny, and have wandered in
too many byways, imagining myself into moods which held Thee not. I
should have parted the true from the false, but I have not yet
passed away from myself who am in the words of this book. Time is a
swift winnower, and that he will do quicklyfor me. Contents
