Interspersed among the poems are fourteen full-page ink drawings, somewhat heavy in style and somber in mood. Several show couples in various states of decorous affection and one unfortunate efflorescence is literally that: accompanying "The rose-lipt girls are sleeping/ In fields where roses fade" is a rose bush apparently sprouting heavy-lidded heads. They do have a fin de siecle steaminess, maybe too much. (Kirkus Reviews)
Authoritative edition of one of the enduring classics of English poetry -- 63 poems on the nature of friendship, the passing of youth, the vanity of dreams, other human concerns. Long prized by literary scholars for their perfection of form and feeling, and loved by generations of readers for simplicity, sensitivity, direct emotional appeal.
