Idylls And Lyrics (1872) - William Forsyth - Bog

Idylls and Lyrics is a collection of poems written by William Forsyth and published in 1872. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section containing a series of idylls, or pastoral poems, and the second section containing a collection of lyrics, or shorter, more personal poems. The idylls in the first section are inspired by the natural beauty of the countryside and explore themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. They are written in a traditional, formal style, with a focus on vivid imagery and descriptive language. The lyrics in the second section are more intimate and introspective, exploring the emotions and experiences of the speaker. They cover a range of topics, from love and friendship to grief and mortality. The style of these poems is more varied, with some written in a more traditional style and others adopting a more modern, free-verse approach. Throughout the book, Forsyth demonstrates a deep appreciation for the natural world and a keen understanding of the human experience. His poetry is both beautiful and thought-provoking, offering insights into the complexities of life and the power of language to capture its fleeting moments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
