Editorial Review:
A book of Poems, held in the British Library under System Number 003737154 with a holding note: Oriental Collections. From dust wrapper: "There is a two-thousand-year-old Chinese aphorism which says that poetry is perfumed wisdom. Since there is no wisdom except the realisation of our abysmal ignorance, the loftiest experience left to man is awe. If, in the knowledge of this, he still feels the desire to write down his illusions, let him dip his pen into the ecstasy of life, that at least some of its perfume may cling to his platitudes. It is his sole justification."
