Excerpt from The Two Twilights The thankless muse The muses ring my bell and run away.I spy you, rogues, behind the evergreen: You, wild Thalia, romper in the hay;And you, Terpsichore, you long-legged quean.When I was young you used to come and stay, But, now that I grow older, 'tis well seenWhat tricks ye put upon me. Well-a-day!How many a summer evening have ye beenSitting about my door-step, fain to singAnd tell old tales, while through the fragrant darkBurned the large planets, throbbed the brooding soundOf crickets and the tree-toads' ceaseless ring;And in the meads the fire-fly lit her sparkWhere from my threshold sank the vale profound.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of verse gathers choice selections from two early books of the author, along with pieces from the authorās other collections and a handful of poems previously unpublished. Spanning the breadth of the authorās career as a poet, this collection presents poems that explore the distance between the imagination and reality. The author laments the loss of poetic inspiration and the disillusionment that comes with maturity. Yet even within this melancholy, there exists a persistent fascination with the beauty of the natural world and the quiet pleasure of human companionship. This collection will appeal to those curious about poetic form and the ways in which poets engage with the world around them.
