"The supreme need of this age in America is a practical conviction that progress does not consist in material prosperity, but in spiritual advancement. Utility has long been exclusively worshipped. The welfare of the future lies in the worship of beauty. To that worship these pages are devoted, with all that implies of sympathy with the higher instincts, and faith in the divine destiny of the human race."--_From the Preface to Gray Days and Gold_.

"But it has seemed to the author of these poems--which of course are offered as absolutely impersonal--that they are the expression of various representative moods of human feeling and various representative aspects of human experience, and that therefore they may possibly possess the inherent right to exist."--_From the Preface_.
"The verse of Mr. Winter is dedicated mainly to love and wine, to flowers and birds and dreams, to the hackneyed and never-to-be-exhausted repertory of the old singers. His instincts are strongly conservative; his confessed aim is to belong to 'that old school of English Lyrical Poetry, of which gentleness is the soul, and simplicity the garment.'"--_Saturday Review_.
"The poems have a singular charm in their graceful spontaneity."--_Scots Observer_.
"Free from cant and rant--clear cut as a cameo, pellucid as a mountain brook. It may be derided as trite, _borné_, unimpassioned; but in its own modest sphere it is, to our thinking, extraordinarily successful, and satisfies us far more than the pretentious mouthing which receives the seal of over-hasty approbation."--_Athenæum_.
