FOREWORD
Reading edition
Vachel Lindsay, one of the modern Christian poets, whose writings are discussed in this book, has expressed the reason for the book itself in these four lines:
"I wish that I had learned by heart Some lyrics read that day; I knew not 'twas a giant hour That soon would pass away."
The author of this book makes no assumption that the "Giant Hours" are in the setting he has given these literary gems, but in the "lyrics" themselves.
