From the preface: The contents of the following pages rest upon certain fundamental assumptions; that the meaning of life is of vital interest to us all; that poets are our most beloved and persuasive teachers of what makes life significant; that the poets who are truly great are those who have presented the largest area of human experience most justly and powerfully; that they have become immortal because their ideas and beliefs run accordantly with the deepest currents of our belief in the realities of life; that they teach by what they say, but more by the characters they create, the principles they take for granted, the moods they communicate.
