John Masefield’s
The Daffodil Fields
“The Daffodil Fields” is a vivid expansion of the wonderful narrative art that John Masefield has employed with such tremendous emphasis in “The Everlasting Mercy” and in “The Story of a Round-House.”
This poem-story contains the finest poetry Masefield has written and in its vigor and reserve continues to stamp him as the greatest artist of the day.
“Neither in the design nor in the telling did, or could, ‘Enoch Arden’ come within miles of the artistic truth of ‘The Daffodil Fields.’”—Professor Quiller-Couch of Cambridge.
“It is tremendously strong.”—Current Opinion.
“Mr. Masefield gives us passages of sheer beauty.”—Boston Advertiser.
