Book excerpt: This volume includes three collections of poems by COVENTRY PATMORE, English poet and critic best known for The Angel in the House, his narrative poem about an ideal happy marriage, which is included in this collection. His best work, though, is found in the volume of odes called The Unknown Eros, also included in this volume, full of passages and entire poems in which exalted thought is expressed in poetry of the richest and most dignified melody. Spirituality informs his inspiration; the poetry is glowing and alive. The magnificent piece in praise of winter, the solemn and beautiful cadences of "Departure," and the homely but elevated pathos of "The Toys," are in their manner unsurpassed in English poetry.We have included:ANGEL IN THE HOUSE.THE UNKNOWN EROSTHE VICTORIES OF LOVE, AND OTHER POEMS.
