Chapter 10

References to page numbers in the introduction have had amended to include a reference to which part of the introduction that page is in.

The text of some of the poems differs slightly in spelling and punctuation from the text in `Poems of Sidney Lanier'. No effort has been made to make the texts conform, except where this text appeared to be in error.

Changes to the text:

Introduction: IV. Lanier's Poetry: Its Style:

[ Of littles that large life compound,'*3* ] changed to: [ Of littles that large life compound,'"*3* ]

"The Revenge of Hamish", line 27:

[ Drew leaping to-burn-ward; huskily rose ] changed to: [ Drew leaping to burn-ward; huskily rose ] as per "Poems of Sidney Lanier" and common sense.

"Notes: A Ballad of Trees and the Master":

[ which inspired these intense lines, `Into the Wood my Master went', ] changed to: [ which inspired these intense lines, `Into the Woods my Master went', ] as per the line in the poem.

(It should also be noted that "A Ballad of Trees and the Master" has sometimes been published under the title "Into the Woods My Master Went".)

Bibliography: IV: Uncollected Poems:

[ One in Two: `Century Magazine' 12. 417, July, 1877 ] changed to: [ One in Two: `Century Magazine' 12. 417, July, 1887 ] as per the evidence.

Various minor punctuation errors in the Bibliography have also been corrected.

References to verses of scripture have been changed to modern form. (E.g., John 3:16 instead of John iii. 16.)

ASCII does not allow for the easy use of accents. The following had to be stripped:
