Excerpt from The City of Dreadful Night: And Other Poems For none of these I write, and none of these Could read the writing if they deigned to try So may they ourish, in their due degrees, On our sweet earth and in their unplaced sky. If any cares for the weak words here written, It must be some one desolate, Fate-smitten, Whose faith and hope are dead, and who would die. Yes, here and there some weary wanderer In that same city of tremendous night, Will understand the speech, and feel a stir Of fellowship in all-disastrous fight 3 I suffer mute and lonely, yet another Uplifts his voice to let me know a brother Travels the same wild paths though out of sight.

Excerpt from The City of Dreadful Night and Other Poems: Being a Selection From the Poetical Works of James Thomson Although the fame of the second James Thomson is at last securely established, and he cannot now be confounded, save by the very ignorant, either with the author of "The Seasons," or with his almost equally unfortunate contemporary, Francis Thompson, the story of his career is not yet so well or so generally known as to make it unnecessary to tell it here. Therefore, since that knowledge is the key to any proper appreciation of Thomson's writings, I will once more briefly relate the tragic story of a life which was, to use his own words, 'a long defeat.' Yet was it really that? As regards himself and his personal misfortunes it certainly was. Yet in this respect it was hardly more so than was that of Robert Burns, who at the close of his brief career might almost have used the same words.
