'...Auden, Spender and day Lewis. The three names are the names of "true poets" who have "more in common than mere contemporaneousness," and what Mr Cecil Day Lewis has undertaken to elucidate "their social and literary influences, their aims and their technique." He has accomplished this with such marked success, such a mingling of good sense and good taste, that poets as yet unborn, or too young to be articulate, may...look back on A Hope fo Poetry with respect.'
