Editor's NotesThe gifted poet Francis Thompson is one among the geniuses of the world. His life was spent on the streets, sit-outs, in the cold and sun. His words flew in the sky of wisdom. Just like the Siddhas in India, he has made the truths felt by his spirit into poems. They were not of effort, but the flowers of poetry blossomed in his words.Language skill is not alone enough to understand the poems of Thomson. One has to dive deep into it like pearl diving, to enjoy that.The life history of Thompson and his writings are available to the readers in a sweet and easy manner. Kavi Yogi Sri Shuddhananda Bharati, who has compiled the life histories and the words of many poets, has researched Thompson also. It tastes sweet as we read again and again.Francis Thompson is one of great poets like Whitman, Molière, Hugo, Milton, Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Browning, Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, Goethe and it's nice to discover his life and his writings. A warm thank you to Mr. E. Chelladurai for his translation from Tamil to English.It is a real and nice pleasure for me to present Francis Thompson to you. Thank you, Dr.Shuddhananda Bharati for having transmitted Francis Thompson to us. With the blessing of Aum Shuddha Shakti Aum.Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
