Centuries of Meditations is a devotional manual from the English
literary Thomas Traherne; undiscovered for over 200 years, this
manuscript was first published in the early 20th century. During
his lifetime Thomas Traherne was primarily famed for his verses,
which gained a fair degree of recognition among readers of his era.
A deeply religious man, Traherne embarked on reflections pertinent
to Christian faith, such as the soul of man, and how believers
attain closeness with the Lord God. A naturalist, Traherne
frequently alludes to the beauty and harmony of nature which he
viewed as the pure and untrammeled embodiment of God's creation.
Centuries of Meditation is a compilation of devotional thoughts,
arranged into five distinct centuries. At times contemplative, at
times resemblant of a sermon, we find here Traherne at his most
poignant. The nature of man's soul and its connection to the
divine, sees the author take on mystical and deeply thoughtful
lines of expression.

For more than 200 years, Thomas Traherne's Centuries of Meditations
was undiscovered and unpublished. The manuscript passed through
many hands before finally being compiled into a book by bookseller
and scholar BERTRAM DOBELL (1842-1914) in 1908. Centuries is a
collection of poems written to express the rapture of life lived in
accordance with God. Yet Dobell is careful to state that even
though Traherne was a clergyman, there is plenty of beauty to be
found in his poetry that does not require specific belief in
Christianity or in God. Readers of many ages and persuasions will
be touched by Traherne's passages on love and belonging.
