"_Here is my sting_."
And the Grave echo--"_See,
Here is my victory_"
To-night the heavens bend
A little nearer.
The singer is my friend,
And I--at last--the hearer.
No more to sing alone
A song unknown,--
Hush--very tense and thin,
The dawn-like notes begin.

I POSE
BY
STELLA BENSON
Sir Henry Lucy writes: "One of the brightest, most original, and
best-written books that have come my way for a long time."
"Even the dullest can hardly fail to respond to the brilliant
humour of the book. As the mature work of an experienced author it
would have been a remarkable achievement; being 'the first book of
a new writer' it is an astonishing performance."--_Daily Graphic_.
"This book is a fantasy, an absurdity, a dream charged with
purpose; it has wit and humour, and some deep feeling covered with
the gossamer of irresponsibility; it is an act of rebellion, an
edged complaint, a protest touched with flame.... There are
epigrams and sentences that read like a sob or a stab."--_ Daily
Chronicle._
"For its sheer cleverness the book is a delightful thing."--_Daily
News_.

THIS IS THE END
BY
STELLA BENSON
"Miss Benson has a delicious sense of humour, and her way of
describing people and things is most refreshing. With her
sympathy, her realism, her wit and ability, it would seem that
Miss Benson's possibilities are limitless."--_The Bookman_.
"In her second book she not only makes good, but betrays a
ripening talent."--_Daily Telegraph._
"The book shows one thing very clearly, that Miss Benson is a
force to be reckoned with."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"It is the second step of a very brilliant beginning ... You will
be foolish if you miss this book."--_Punch_.
"She has unusual originality, illuminating wit, deep feeling, and
a gift for startling epigram."--_Daily Graphic_.
