A volume of passionate love poems written by a true poet.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean:
They are in several metres, handled always with graceful ease, and often with intensity. The coloring is vivid and the music subtle. The book is redolent with the atmosphere of the Arabian Nights.
The Boston Evening Transcript:
Mr. Hope is a thorough artist to his fingertips, and his choice of words and images is as keen and exact as his ability to adapt Indian literature to the more prosaic mood and tongue of the Anglo-Saxon.
The Athenæum:
Mr. Hope has caught admirably the dominant notes of this Indian love poetry, its delirious absorption in the instant, its out-of-door air, its melancholy.
