Untitled notice by Dunsany: ‘Of all materials for labour, dreams are the hardest; and the articifer in ideas is the chief of workers, who out of nothing will make a piece of that work that may stop the child from crying and lead to higher things. For what is it to be a poet? It is to see at a glance the glory of the world, to see beauty in all its forms and manifestations, to feel ugliness like a pain, to resent the wrongs of others as bitterly as one’s own, to know mankind as others know single men, to know Nature as botanists know a flower, to be thought a fool, to hear at moments the clear voice of God.’
