Excerpt from Sonnets From a Prison Camp For allowing this slight volume to see the light of day I have but one excuse to offer. The situa tion to which these verses are the emotional reaction represents a very real and serious piece of experience. It is no mere poetical exaggeration to say that in the first days of captivity at least, the writing of the sonnets was a, labour that stood between my soul and madness, and I cannot help feeling that what, under one of the heaviest blows that can befall a soldier, has meant so much to me, may have in it something that will raise it at times above the personal to the level of general human interest.
