Excerpt from The Plated City I don't know anything about it, my dear, said the elderly gentleman at her right, taking off his broad-brimmed felt hat and mopping his forehead patiently. You'll have to ask Mr. Kennedy. Craig Kennedy smiled, without taking his eyes from the pitcher. You are quite right, Sally. He didn't move; the strike was called on him. It was wide of the plate, though. Look out now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Plated City

The method of studying poetry which I have followed in this book was sketched some years ago in my chapter on "Poetry" in Counsel Upon the Reading of Books. My confidence that the genetic method is the natural way of approaching the subject has been shared by many lovers of poetry. I hope, however, that I have not allowed my insistence upon the threefold process of "impression, transforming imagination, and expression" to harden into a set formula. Formulas have a certain dangerous usefulness for critics and teachers, but they are a very small part of one's training in the appreciation of poetry.
