of step and heart was she;?I think she was the most beautiful lady?That ever was in the West Country.?But beauty vanishes; beauty passes;?However rare--rare it be;?And when I crumble, who will remember?This lady of the West Country?
'THE HAWTHORN HATH A DEATHLY SMELL'
The flowers of the field?Have a sweet smell;?Meadowsweet, tansy, thyme,?And faint-heart pimpernel;?But sweeter even than these,?The silver of the may?Wreathed is with incense for?The Judgment Day.
An apple, a child, dust,?When falls the evening rain,?Wild briar's spic��d leaves,?Breathe memories again;?With further memory fraught,?The silver of the may?Wreathed is with incense for?The Judgment Day.
Eyes of all loveliness--?Shadow of strange delight,?Even as a flower fades?Must thou from sight;?But oh, o'er thy grave's mound,?Till come the Judgment Day,?Wreathed shall with incense be?Thy sharp-thorned may.

has been revised from end to end--590 poems have been added, pages renumbered, author, title, and first line indices, and the biographical matter corrected, etc., etc.
The hundreds of letters from readers and poets suggesting additions or corrections as well as the columns of reviews of the first edition have been considered. Poets who were chary of lending their support to an unknown venture have now generously permitted the use of their work.
This edition includes the "new" poets such as MASEFIELD, CHESTERTON, FROST, RUPERT BROOKE, DE LA MARE, RALPH HODGSON, etc.
"A collection so complete and distinguished that it is difficult to find any other approaching it sufficiently for comparison."--_New York Times Book Review_ on the first edition.

This great trilogy, the life story of a musician, at first the sensation of musical circles in Paris, has come to be one of the most discussed books among literary circles in France, England and America.
Each volume of the American edition has its own individual interest, can be understood without the other, and comes to a definite conclusion.
_The three volumes with the titles of the French volumes included are:_
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE?Dawn--Morning--Youth--Revolt
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE IN PARIS?The Market Place--Antoinette--The House
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: JOURNEY'S END?Love and Friendship--The Burning Bush--The New Dawn
_Some Noteworthy Comments_
"Hats off, gentlemen--a genius.' �� One may mention?'Jean-Christophe' in the same breath with Balzac's 'Lost Illusions'; it is as big as that. �� It is moderate praise to call it with Edmund Gosse 'the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth century'. �� A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the art of fiction began to-day. . We have nothing comparable in English literature. �� "--_Springfield Republican._
"If a man wishes to understand those devious currents which make up the great, changing sea of modern life, there is hardly a single book more illustrative, more informing and more?inspiring."--_Current Opinion._
"Must rank as one of the very few important works of fiction of the last decade. A vital compelling work. We who love it feel that it will live."--_Independent._
"The most momentous novel that has come to us from France, or from any other European country, in a decade."--_Boston Transcript._
_A 32-page booklet about Romain Rolland and Jean-Christophe, with portraits and complete reviews, on request._
