Excerpt from Lucasta Poems With an Introductory Note by William Lyon Phelps, Vol. 1
The two lines quoted above from Lovelace were cited in a thousand newspaper leading articles dur ing the years 1914 - 18. Perhaps to the normal mind Honour is a greater virtue than Love; but for the possibility of a different View, the intelligent and discriminating student may be referred to that par adoxical poem Which? By Robert Browning.
