"MacGill's work is taking the literary world by storm."--_Morning
Leader_.
"His poems show a power of direct observation and of strong
emotion."--_Spectator_.
"We are at a loss to understand what manner of youth he
is."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"The author has a very considerable gift."--ANDREW LANG, in
_Illustrated London News_.
"It is a life which has been an Odyssey, the picturesque life a tone
poet can weather through as Mr. MacGill has done."--_Book Monthly_.
"The traits of an ardent, fearless personality, expressed in words of
fire, are here again in all their lyrical richness.... The poet says:
'I sing my songs to you--and well,
You'll maybe like them--who can tell?'
We do like them."--_Daily Chronicle_.
"When, in the terse vernacular of his calling, he gives voice to the
sorrows and impatience, the humour and the resignation of his workmen
comrades, and lets his songs find their own natural bent, then at
length he attains real lyrical strength and sincerity.... For we need
have no hesitation in hailing Mr. MacGill as a poet."--_Sunday Times_.
