"Laurence Hope, whose volume of “India’s Love Lyrics” attracted some attention on its appearance last Autumn, has written a new volume of poems entitled “Stars of the Desert.” The verses are said to be full of the odor of jasmine and orange blossoms and imbued with the glowing passion of Eastern romance. It was probably Edward FitzGerald, with his version of the songs of Omar, the tentmaker, who turned the attention of the Western world to Eastern poetry, thought, and literature. Max Müller fanned the embers, and to-day Sir Edwin Arnold leads a hundred lesser lights along the path. John Lane, who will publish the new volume, has sent out a “word of well-meant warning,” in which he says: “Let the reader who desires to enjoy the real beauties of this collection never forget as he reads that these are the love songs of young Eastern blood, whose laws of conduct were framed to fit their temperament, not ours.” It will be uniform with the author’s previous volume, and will have a cover design by Theodore Hanford Pond."
