Excerpt from Silhouettes
Here, for once, in connection with these Silhouettes, I have not, if my recollection serves me, been accused of actual immorality. I am but a fair way along the primrose path, not yet within singeing distance of the everlasting bonfire. In other words, I have not yet written London Nights, which, it appears (i can scarcely realize it, in my innocent abstraétion in aesthetical matters), has no very salutary reputation among the blameless moralists of the press. I need not, therefore, on this occasion, concern myself with more than the curious fallacy by which there is supposed to be some thing inherently wrong in artistic work which deals frankly and lightly with the very real charm of the lighter emotions and the more fleeting sensations.
I do not wish to assert that the kind of verse which happened to refleft certain moods of mine at a certain period of my life, is the best kind of verse in itself, or is likely to seem to me, in other years, when other moods may have made me their own, the best kind of verse for my own expression of myself. Nor do I affeft to doubt that the creation of the supreme emotion is a higher form of art than the reflection of the most exquisite sensation, the evocation of the most magical impression. I claim only an equal liberty for the rendering of every mood of that variable and inexplicable and contradictory creature which we call ourselves, of every aspect under which we are gifted or condemned to apprehend the beauty and strangeness and curiosity of the visible world.

Silhouettes (Classic Reprint) Arthur Symons 9781332331802 Books Reviews
In the early 1950s a friend gave me a (paperback) collection of poems, by many different authors. I still have the book, (coverless) and falling apart and I have no idea what the title was (I thought it was Best Loved Poems, but I can't seem to find it.) One of my favorite poems was on page 41, called "After Love." I only remembered the third stanza, and that the author was Arthur Symons; since page 41 is missing from my tattered book. I recently discovered that the poem was originally printed in Symons' book, "Silhouettes" published in 1892. I am very grateful that is offering a hardcover edition for $26. If you love poetry, you should read this British poet's book. Perhaps someone knows the name of this old book of poems Some of the 'divisions listed in the index of this tiny 4 x 6 paperback are INDEX OF FIRST LINES (p 255 & 256 Poems of Love, (p xi;) Poems of Inspiration, (p xiv Faith and Immortality (p.xv and xvi) Poems of Patriotism; Nature and Reflection (p xvi & xvii)
Maybe someone has reprinted it, too!
Poetry. This is a book of poetry, which did not interest me, but that is not the fault of the poet. I'm just letting you know that this is a book of poems.
