“The facts are here, but they should have been put together for readers who will not, and indeed cannot, search for them. We see the pictures of a single-minded-worker, but have but a vague idea of what he actually did.”

“For though I can no music make, I trust
Here’s proof I love it.”
Such does Mr. Gilder vouchsafe in the opening lines of his prelude. There are about thirty poems which show the “love that in him burns for the fair lady of Melody.” There are tributes to Mme. Essepoff, Paderewski. Macdowell, Beethoven, Rubenstein and others, there are lines to Handel’s Largo, the violin, and the ’cello, and there is a poet of music’s appreciation of the Music at twilight, in moonlight and in darkness.
