Let me frankly admit, to begin with, that the attractiveness and probable selling qualities of the title of this little book, ´´The Hundred Best English Poems, ´´ proved, when it had been once thought of, too powerful arguments for it to be abandoned. I am fully conscious of the presumption such a title implies in an unknown selector, but at the same time I submit that only a plebiscite of duly qualified lovers of poetry could make a selection that could claim to deserve this title beyond all question, and such a plebiscite is of course impossible. I can claim no more than that my attempt to realize this title is an honest one, and I can assert, without fear of contradiction, that every one of the poems I have included is a ´´gem of purest ray serene´´; that none can be too often read or too often repeated to one´s self; that every one of them should be known by heart by every lover of good literature, so that each may become, as it were, a part of his inner being.
