bowed to the muses in the East; his soul may have been mellowed with the sentiments of the vineclad Italy, yet he is an Oregon poet, - simply a child away from home;” and on p. 251 “We find beautiful thoughts and splendid imagery mingled with vulgar idioms and a total disregard of the properties of English grammar . .. the harmonies of poetry illy accord with improprieties in language and a poet of aesthetical taste, as all poets should be, would not array heroic verse in vulgar verbiage or illiterate idiom..’” [MCK]
