Excerpt from Words and Days: A Table-Book of Prose and Verse

I do not know that the general plan of the book needs any defence, except perhaps to those jeunes féroces who are angry at the antiquated attractions of the Past being put forward as rivals to the Present, and more angry still at any present lovers of these elder beauties assuming the office of heralds and harbingers thereto Even they might be softened by the commixture of old and new here, which must be admitted to be arranged on no grudging scale as regards contemporaries.
