About this book

THESE lines from a thoughtful and finished poem by Matthew Arnold, introduce by contrast an extended and very beautiful statement of what the ideal poet's life should be; a life full of high and serene contemplation, of deep and placid sympathies with nature and with man, but lived in calm isolation, apart from the loud noises of the world.
