It contains, as explained in the preface, Villiersʼ poetry written before his twentieth year: \"The author of this volume is nineteen years old. - It is... with a certain modesty that he releases these first pages.\" He need not have been so modest. The poetry is mature in execution and thought, rich in feeling and imagery; Romantic by and large, it anticipates the Decadents; it is something that a more seasoned poet would have been proud of, with the sometimes added benefit of the enthusiasm of youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poetry speaks for itself: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMuse, what an admirable and rare privilege!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBy instinct, she shrugged her shoulders white as snow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBefore all that life offers with its impure \u003c\/em\u003eennuis\u003cem\u003e;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLike a statue of sovereign forms, she accepted, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith a withering smile the human miseries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd sorrows of obscure days.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnguish and terrors had rocked her before: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs for solitude, she was weary of it;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOur vain words, sorrows, sufferings, regrets, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrushed her without leaving any more of a trace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThan a flight of vultures leaves on the surface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf the Ocean with its dark secrets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- From \"Song the Third: Compassion,\" Hermosa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46589911367877,"sku":"9781955392723","price":32.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/fkIINlNg4p9781955392723.webp?v=1784974318","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/early-poetry-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
