Description
From the first poem about the glorious sense of future’s promise, which coincides with the dawn of a romance, till the last about the power of great art to intensely inspire, To a Sunbeam and Other Poems is pervaded with a longing and passion for the human soul at its most radiant. Even as the lovers are compelled to part, the light of festive reverence does not dim, but modulates into the fiercely brilliant struggle to maintain one’s devotion to that which is sacred, despite how dishearteningly remote it may be. The gaze of veneration towards far-off aims never breaks, while the book in its second half explores other subjects, from the most intimate to the widest-sweeping. Though mostly imbued with either an assured contemplative calm, or the thrill of earnest introspective discovery, these pieces about personal ambition and philosophy sometimes rise in angry defiance as villainous flaws in personal character or destructively false philosophical tenets attempt to thwart the already arduous progress towards attaining great values. With the sumptuous intricacy of its language, at times approaching the enchanting luxury of the Keatsean, and at times the glittering seriousness of the Tennysonian, To a Sunbeam and Other Poems is a thoroughly Romantic book, that rises uniquely into today’s literary landscape. The variety of poetic forms and the astounding rigor of the poetic techniques it employs provide the strong yet graceful framework that tells an immortal tale: the quest for greatness in feeling and in thought. It is an ode to the heroism of the spirit to defend and achieve its rightful place of undiluted radiance.
