Excerpt from The Story of Catullus

Who will read this book? A scholar here and there, I dare to hope, who would not willingly pass by anything that concerns Catullus, a barrister, a business-man (who knows?), if, as I believe, there are still some who find, after a long day's work, their best refreshment in the classics.

Perhaps even an Eton boy who has read Catullus at school, and is a little ashamed at having cared so much for any part of his work, or the sister of an Eton boy, if I may speak out all my dreams, who has read in Tennyson of the 'tenderest of Roman poets,' and would learn something which her brother refuses to tell of that Catullus 'whose dead songster never dies.' May it be so!
