Overview

However well read a man may be in the great poets, it is impossible for him to have always at command the exact poetic quotation that will best serve him in elucidating the particular text upon which he may have chosen to discourse; and it is not likely that he will have the time, even if he should happen to have the works of the poets in his library, to pursue the necessary quest for the right passage from the right poet. At this juncture, The Expositor’s Dictionary of Poetical Quotations supplies just what is required. The editor has ranged the whole field of English poetry and beyond, to find the relevant and pertinent poetic thought for the illustration of the leading texts of Scripture.
