“The title selection is an ode read at the annual meeting of the Tufts chapter of Phi beta kappa in 1902. It is an arraignment of American ‘imperialism,’ touched with that saeva indignatio which has stirred William Vaughn Moody, the late John W. Chadwick, and others of our poets in approaching the same theme. The cathedral poems, filled with the atmosphere of English closes, and reinforced by Mr. Adams’s architectural studies, seem of the entire sheaf to be most truly characteristic.”—N. Y. Times.

“Throughout the book, indeed, technical variety and facility are to be noted, and if there be few striking lines, there are a certain reflective grace and fine traditions of men and literature.”
