...Caravan to the Homes of Cyrus, Darius, and the Present-Day Robber Chieftains of Persis...
...class of the mediocre belong the three bits of verse, "The Jap Doll," "Lamentation," and "The Caravan." The first transposes the "Madame Butterfly Motif" into the familiar key of Kipling's dialesticisms. The second is a highly colored trifle as frail as the "jewelled veil gossamer" that its writer mentions. The last is purposeless but inoffensive. Like so much modern verse, all of these compositions lack the bone and fibre of solid thought and poetic necessity. They leave the impression that their authors sat down and cried, "Lo, I must produce a poem," and then cudgelled their brains...

In addition to this fundamental topic, Mr. Furlong will give an insight into the most typical of the Barbary Capitals, the focus of the great Saharan caravan routes, with pictures illustrating the half-civilized tribes who inhabit the deserts and tablelands of Tripoli.

The verse is weakened in places by unnecessary repetition of words and phrases: "that drift--that drift," "wild, wild symphony," and several other expressions. The weird, solemn picture in "The Caravan" is impressive, the wording is good (preponderance of monosyllables), and the vagueness gives the imagination free play. The interrogation points in the second and third stanzas should be omitted. The conception in "The Flower Stall" is good; the poem needs verbal revision. The sonnet entitled "Love and Fate" is worthy...
