“To Latimer McInnes of Kintyre
This picture book of many lands I vow,
And faithfully would I acknowledge how
‘Twas his bright soul of poesy did fire
My spirit with the unforeknown desire
To paint in coloured words of rhythmic flow-
As should my scanty palette’s choice allow-
Of countless travel scenes those strong to inspire”.
