"John Masefield is the man of the hour, and the man of to-morrow too, in poetry and in the playwriting craft."--JOHN GALSWORTHY.
"--recreates a wholly new drama of existence."--WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE, N. Y. Times.
"Mr. Masefield comes like a flash of light across contemporary English poetry, and he trails glory where his imagination reveals the substances of life. The improbable has been accomplished by Mr. Masefield; he has made poetry out of the very material that has refused to yield it for almost a score of years. It has only yielded it with a passion of Keats, and shaped it with the imagination of Coleridge."--Boston Evening Transcript.
