Excerpt from David in Heaven: Other Poems Here in white the Saints see Light, Glad past all desiring, The delight Of that great Sight Is their food and firing Day nor night knows no respite Of their blissful quiring.

Excerpt from The Last David, and Other Poems Warder (alone). Weary am I, and heartsick. Night and day Rolls on the din of battle, and the air Is thick with cries of slaughter at the walls, And death-groans in the streets, where the blue famine Strikes down our people hourly, and plague runs Through thin ranks of defenders, as a flash Of lightning rending loftiest cedars down. And worse than all, that bane of all our hope, Unceasing faction surging to and fro, Whereon our ship of state is shattered, till Her rent sides gape on ruin. If but he That guides her now, were hearted like his sire, Not tossed in tempest, but on calmer waters And in a harbouring quiet, would we ride, Fenced from disaster by the shadowing wing Of the great eastern eagle.

Excerpt from David Gray, and Other Essays, Chiefly on Poetry The biography of David Gray is another matter. A large portion Of it appeared some years ago in the Cornhill Magazine, but the additions, now first published, are very important. It is a story known and told as only one could know and tell it; and will, I trust, send still more readers to Gray's wonderful poems. The little green-bound duodecimo, The Luggie and other Poems, by the late David Gray, was wafted out unto the great world, heralded by a kindly preface and a brief memoir. It excited little or no comment. The exquisite music was too low and tender to attract crowds, or to entice coteries delighted with the scream of the whipper snapper. Nevertheless, a few rare spirits heard and welcomed the truest, purest, tenderest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
