Poet Sara Teasdale has justified the inclusion of old and new poems in one volume by their common quality as "Love Songs," but she proceeds to annul this justification by dividing her volume into four parts, to one of which the title "Love Songs" is inapplicable. This want of logic may serve to prove that Teasdale is a woman and a poet, but for her friends, who embrace all her acquaintance, no proof of either thesis was required. In the sex matter, indeed, her properties are twofold: the fineness is womanly, but the steadiness is masculine; she supplies the throb without the quiver.
