Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of English Poetry, Vol. 1: Ballads Old and New Some poems of great beauty, like Milton's C omus and Tennyson's Maud, reluctant as I am to omit them, are ruled out by the limitation of space. The same reason explains the fact that dramas are omitted, and that the epic element also is lacking, except in its minor forms, the idyll and the story in verse, and in its lyrical modification, the ballad. It has seemed best to confine the selections to the work of those poets who have already gone over to the majority. It would be difficult, and perhaps embarrassing, to choose from the writ ings of the minority who are still living.
