Songs of Love and Death by Manmohan Ghose edited with an Introduction by Laurence Binyon. THESE words, spoken as if from some spontaneous compulsion in a voice low and thrilled that itself seemed to glow, caused all the class of school-boys to turn their heads. At the back of the room, behind the rest, sat a young Indian with thick hair falling about his forehead, and dark lustrous eyes. It was he who had startled us with his impassioned tones. Where had he come from? How had he mysteriously joined us? Perhaps I deceive myself, but to my memory this was my first sight of Manmohan Ghose-an unaccountable apparition from an unknown hemisphere.

I felt immediate sympathy, and besides anyone foreign who brought a breath from a world outside the world of habit ever attracted me.
