For more than twenty years I have cherisht the wish of offering some testimony of my gratitude to him by whom ny eyes were opened to see and enjoy the world of poetry in nature and in books.

Your writings were among those he prized the most: and unless this little work had appeared anonymously when it first came out, he would have united with me in dedicating it to you.
