Farquhar, Edward. Poems. $1.50. Badger, R: G.
Under three divisions, History, Man and nature, and Devotion, are included poems as varied in length and verse as in subject. They range from long poems such as “King Herod,” and “Christianity in the apostles,” which are cast in poem-drama form, to little verses such as “Microcosm,” and “Clouds and dawn.”
“In his volume of collected poems Mr. Farquhar takes a deeper plunge into the psychological mysteries of youthful hearts, and now and then succeeds in striking a truly poetic note.”
