				     Besides this, I was writing 
				a good deal of poetry. Some of my most important work belongs to 
				this period. "The Wizard Way", "the Garden of Janus", "After 
				Judgment" and "Bathyllus" are especially notable. I was seeing a 
				good deal of Frank Harris, who was publishing much of my best 
				work in Vanity Fair. It was the first encouragement I had 
				ever had, and in a way it came too late, since I was already 
				entirely disillusioned with regard to fame. The approval of 
				Frank Harris was another matter; it was something, and something 
				very great, to know that my work gained me the respect of the 
				very few men on the planet who knew the difference between Keats 
				and Lewis Morris. I had been recognized as a poet of the first 
				class by my peers and the applause of the mob would leave me as 
				cold as its neglect or hostility does at present.
