THE NEW MEDUSA, AND OTHER POEMS. 8s.
“We should have to go to great names among contemporary poets before we
found a volume of verse with a message so clear and so touching....
There is in the lines quoted a directness of speech due partly to the
situation of the writer and partly to the rare gift which, above all
others, makes a man a poet--a gift of truthful and sincere utterance. We
have quoted from the more personal parts of the book because we have
been greatly touched by them. But it is on the dramatic power displayed
in such poems as ‘The Raft’ that the writer’s position will have to
rest.”--_Athenæum._
“The power which every capable reader of Mr. Lee-Hamilton’s previous
work, must have recognised is still more apparent in the _New
Medusa_.... The imaginative power which reproduces and dramatises a
certain mood of mind is very noteworthy. It is in this faculty of what
may be called psychography, of drawing the landscape of moods with
atmosphere and environment suitable and complete, that Mr.
Lee-Hamilton’s poetic power chiefly consists.”--_Academy._
