...Oxford did not escape him. He accepted, lectured often and melodiously, wrote verse about Princeton in the Revolution and in the then-brewing World War. Prior to The Torchbearers, his most cele brated poem was Drake, an epic of British empire-building. Aged 47, Mr. Noyes lives in London, sensitive, earnest, fond of swimming.
