Chadwick, John White. Later poems. [*]$1.25. Houghton.
The best verses in this volume deal with the common weal and woe of humanity, and the “deep things of God.” The poet also sings of the lighter phases of human existence, “his thoughtful love of nature finds charming expression in many fugitive pieces” (Outlook). In others, especially in “Timeo Danaos,” a high and nobly exigent patriotism shines forth.
