Behind my house are windows, each lit with yellow flame, and each one is
a little world set in a little frame.' This is the beautiful first
stanza of the opening poem in this collection of poems by Charles Hanson
Towne. Towne was the toast of late 19th century New York, a chief
contributor and eventually editor of distinguished magazines and
periodicals such as Harper's Bazaar, The New Yorker and The American.
