The Golden Treasury of Poetry

Louis Untermeyer

4.6/5 ( ratings)

"This is a book to grow on. This is a book to grow with. In these pages are poems that will become favorites; you will never lose your taste for them. They will be part of you as long as you live. These verses - the nimble and nonsensical as well as the greatly meaningful- delighted me when I was young. They still delight me today. You will laugh at some of these poems; you will learn from others. Some of them will be exciting new experiences; some will let you see familiar things as though you had never seen them before. But all of them were meant primarily to be enjoyed. Enjoyment is the essence. Poetry is written in many moods and on many levels, each of which provides its own particular pleasure. Come along through these pages and let me show you what I mean. Let us begin at the beginning." --Louis Untermeyer.
