Comments on the Title Poem:
"This poem, at once so glorious, so touching and poignant
in its conception and expression . . . is perhaps the most remarkable poem
of a decade -- one that defies imitation." -- `Review of Reviews'.
"A sweeping and penetrating vision that works with a naive charm. . . .
No American poet of to-day is more a people's poet." -- `Boston Transcript'.
"One could hardly overpraise `General Booth'." -- `New York Times'.
"Something new in verse, spontaneous, passionate, unmindful of conventions
in form and theme." -- `The Living Age'.
