ABSTRACT
It is not easy to describe this extraordinary composition. It is written partly in verse, some of which is deliberately free from poetic diction, and partly in prose, some of which is poetical. In the first part there are three prose sections and a love-letter; the second part is called Journal of an Airman, in the form of notes and jottings; and the third consists of six odes, most of which are written in free variations of the elaborate metres which belong more to light verse than to heavy poetry.
