Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Collected Poems 1901-1918 in Two Volumes. Volume II." by Walter De la Mare is a collection of poetry created during the early 20th century. The book primarily explores themes of childhood, nature, and the mystical interplay between reality and imagination. Through vivid imagery and lyrical language, De la Mare captures the wonder and whimsy associated with childhood experiences alongside the poignant aspects of life, love, and loss. The poems within this volume are rich with enchanting narratives that transport readers to a world filled with fairies, witches, and dream-like landscapes. The collection features delightful verses such as "Sleepyhead," where the invitation of playful spirits contrasts with the reluctance of a child to leave the comfort of bed, and "The Three Beggars," depicting a whimsical exchange between beggars and a fairy-child that celebrates generosity and magic. Throughout the volume, De la Mare employs a dreamy, ethereal quality that evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing, reminding readers of the simplicity and beauty found in both nature and the deeper connections of human emotions.
