A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass by Amy Lowell - These poems arouse interest, and justify it by the result. Miss Lowell is the sister of President Lowell of Harvard. Her art, however, needs no reflection from such distinguished influence to make apparent its distinction. Such verse as this is delightful, has a sort of personal flavour, a loyalty to the fundamentals of life and nationality. . . . The child poems are particularly graceful. - 'Boston Evening Transcript', Boston, Mass. Miss Lowell has given expression in exquisite form to many beautiful thoughts, inspired by a variety of subjects and based on some of the loftiest ideals. . . . The verses are grouped under the captions 'Lyrical Poems', 'Sonnets', and 'Verses for Children'. . . . It is difficult to say which of these are the most successful. Indeed, all reveal Miss Lowell's powers of observation from the view-point of a lover of nature. Moreover, Miss Lowell writes with a gentle philosophy and a deep knowledge of humanity. . . . The sonnets are especially appealing and touch the heart strings so tenderly that there comes immediate response in the same spirit. . . . That she knows the workings of the juvenile mind is plainly indicated by her verses written for their reading. - 'Boston Sunday Globe', Boston, Mass. A quite delightful little collection of verses. - 'Toronto Globe', Toronto, Canada.
