Edgar Evertson Saltus (October 8, 1855 – July 31, 1921) was an American writer known for his highly refined prose style.

Extract:
"The ideal is the essence of poetry. In the virginal innocence of the world, poetry was a term that meant discourse of the gods. A world grown grey has learned to regard the gods as diseases of language. Conceived, it may be, in fevers of fancy, perhaps, originally, they were but deified words. Yet, it is as children of beauty and of dream that they remain."
And these are the Lords of the Ghostland: Brahma; Ormuzd; Amon-Ra; Bel-Marduk; Jehovah; Zeus; Jupiter; the Nec Plus Ultra.
