[Keynes p.102] small 8vo at the Chiswick Press 1939. ***An excellent copy of this key work in Sassoon`s canon both in terms of condition and association. Several of the thirty-three poems present ominously anticipate the encroaching Second World War. The lyre presumably a reference to the lyre of Orpheus could possibly be a nod to Sassoon`s pseudonym `Pinchbeck Lyre` which he adopted to parody Humbert Wolfe in 1931.
