ANDRADE E N DA C Poems and Songs
Macmillan, U.K. 1949. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Poetry. xii, 89 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. 'More than any other poet of his time. Professor Andrade has gone his own way, disregarding the shifts of poetic fashion and writing to please himself and a few friends-who may now become many. This book contains the work of a lifetime which has been largely given to other activities but has not been without leisure to write verse in the strictest and hardest tradition of craftsmanship. His affinities are with the Elizabethans and the Jacobeans, that is to say, with an age when long hours in the service of the exact sciences did not exclude devotion to the Muses. The best of the Elizabethans could not have written A Rhapsody on Light, but if he had survived to know what now we know about the physical universe this is perhaps what he would write '.
