Inspirational prose pieces fired by revolutionary idealism and
prophetically subtle in their vision. The high esteem in which
Traubel's work is held is attested by the following unusual
commendations:
Mildred Bain: "In 'Chants Communal' we have some of the most
magnificent poetry which has ever accompanied a historic movement
of thought. These songs may well be termed scriptural. They are
the very heart beat of humanity. Such powerful exhortations, such
fiercely tender pleadings are in them. They are religious in the
deepest, broadest sense. Every one of them is a call to the
higher self in man; is instinct with the consciousness of the
sacredness of life in its human every-day aspects."
Jack London: "His is the vision of the poet and the voice of the
poet."
Eugene V. Debs: "Traubel is a philosopher, a poet, and a prophet;
he has produced a volume of literature--the literature of life
and love, of freedom and joy, and of universal social
redemption."
Clarence Darrow: "Horace Traubel is both a poet and a
philosopher. No one can say anything too good about him or his
work."
George D. Herron: "It is a book of the highest value and beauty
that Horace Traubel proposes to give us, and I can only hope that
it will be read as widely and appreciatively as it more than
deserves to be; for it is with a joy that would seem extravagant,
if I expressed it, that I welcome 'Chants Communal.'"
