"As a result of my compromise between technical adherence and defection, the reader will not know just when the form of a poem or a line in English parallels that of its French original. The way of the translator is hard; but I have done my best, working over a period of five year to introduce Vildrac worthily to a new public, which will find in him, if I am good at judging a poet close to its taste and sympathy."--Translator's Note.
