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.
