nothing more rich and stimulating in its contents, or more attractive in its
outward form."- — The Scotsman.

Of Miss Macleod's poetry The Sketch, in a review of "Lyra Celtica,"
says : — ' ' Her verse has dignity, passion, directness, and that curious poignant
weariness which for ever oppresses the heart of the true Highlander. . . .
In some of her verses there is beautiful music, eerie and ethereal — as, for
example, 'The Closing Doors.' There is splendid passion in ' The Songs
of Ethlenn Stuart ' (' The Heart of a Woman ')."
