well versed, full of life, full of truth

Matthew Arnold is one of my favourite poets and I think that this collection showcases some of his best work. The poems are mostly his older and longer works, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone who likes short poems; some in here are pages long! I was disappointed by the fact that "A Question: To Fausta" wasn't printed in this volume, though.
