Classic Reprint Series. Francis Thompson, a poet of high thinking, "of celestial vision," and of imaginings that found literary images of answering splendour, died in London in the winter of 1907. His life - always a fragile one - doubtless owed its prolongation to "man's unconquerable mind," in him so invincible through all vicissitude that he seemed to add a new significance to Wordsworth's phrase. To his mortal frame was denied the vitality that informs his verse. Howbeit, his verse was himself; he lived every line of it, fulfilling to the last letter his own description of the poet, piteous yet proud: He lives detached days; He serveth not for praise; For gold He is not sold. He asketh not world's eyes; Nor to world's ears he cries - Saith, "These Shut, if ye please!".
