" Mr. Rice's poems are touched with the
magic of the muse. They have inspiration,
grace and true lyric quality." The Book
News Monthly.

  "Mr. Rice's poetry as a whole is both
strongly and delicately spiritual. Many of
these lyrics have the true romantic mystery
and charm. . . . To write thus is no
indifferent matter. It indicates not only long
work but long brooding on the beauty and
mystery of life." The Louisville Post.

  " Mr. Rice is indisputably one of the greatest
poets who have lived in America. ..
And some of these (earlier) poems are truly
beautiful. The Times-Union (Albany, N. Y.)
