Excerpt from St. Christopher and Other Poems A very few words will suffice as introduction to a volume like the present. The story of St. Christopher, which has always had a special attraction for the writer, not merely on its own account, but for family and personal reasons, will be found here, but very slightly altered, although accompanied by a kind of musical interlude, in which images drawn from the uses and functions of water in the natural world lead up to a higher spiritual interpretation. It is surely not impossible that the position frequently occupied by figures of St. Christopher near the church door, a place where the font is usually found, may be due to some more or less conscious association of his story with the thought of Holy Baptism, the time in the life of a Christian when the servitude of Evil is forsworn, and the sovereignty of Christ is acknowledged.

Excerpt from The False One: And the Legend of St. Christopher The Brahman replied, in the soft and musical tones of his people, 0 king of the world we are not come before the throne of power to betray the faith of our fathers, but to die for it, if such he the will of the sultan l Saying these words, he and his companions prostrated themselves upon the earth, and, taking off their tur bans, flung them down before them then, while the rest continued with their fore heads bowed to the ground, Sarina arose, and stood upright before the throne. No words can describe the amazement of Ak bar. He shrunk back and struck his hands together then he frowned, and twisted his small and beautifully curled mustachios: The sons of Brahma mock us I said he at length is it thus our imperial decrees are obeyed 9.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
