Excerpt from Some Notes on the Book of Psalms The reader must not expect to find in the Hebrew poems either the rhymes or accents of English poetry, or the classical metres. Nothing like any of these is to be found either in the Hebrew original or in the authorized English translation. English readers are sometimes apt to think that we cannot have poetry without rhyme, or at least without metre, because they become accustomed to one or both of these in the poems with which they first make acquaintance. But this is a mistake. The use of any peculiar form or mode of expression is not essential to poetry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
