Excerpt from Uriel: And Other Poems For this volume the author has selected, from poems written chiefly during the last two years, such only as are commemorative in their nature. Since most of these are concerned with persons or events of public interest, the following brief references to some of their special occa sions are placed here in lieu of footnotes. Uriel: William Vaughn Moody, poet and dramatist, died October 17, 1910. This poem was written about a year later. Shortly before his death, he told a friend about a new drama, on the theme of Saint Paul, the outlines of which had come to him splendidly as a vision. TO this the sixth stanza Of Uriel refers symbolically. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
