Excerpt from The White Pilgrim, and Other Poems I DO not remember in what part of Moore's works I once read the first tremulous remarks he made when, for the first time, he committed a volume of poetry to the world, and appealed to it as a poet. Plays which have' only appeared in dramatic form, stray verses which magazines have absorbed, look very different to the writer when first he contemplates them in the ambitious form of a book, and trembles for his own venture. May this find lenient judges and kindly friends. And let me express the h0pe that the political verses which form part of it may be taken in the spirit in which they are written, of freedom from offence. I have carefully revised them with that view, conscious that ex pressions which may pass for the moment should have no longer life than' cc gue m'wnt les plazirantm'es.
