Definitions
- 1 Slightly more than seventy.
"If we conceive of the poetry that has been written in English in the last twelve months as a kind of Purgatory, a mountainous cone like Dante’s, with a spiral pathway leading to its summit, we shall find among the one hundred and seventyodd volumes on its lower rounds no ponderable significance; but midway in the ascent we come to a score or more of poets with something to say for themselves."
