Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
Lyrics selected from the works of A. Mary F. Robinson by A. Mary F. Robinson is a collection of lyric poetry from the late 19th century in the Victorian era. The poems dwell on love, nature, art, memory, and spiritual longing, often colored by Italian landscapes and classical allusion. Arranged in three movements—Music, Rosa Rosarum, and Stars—the book moves from dreamlike invocations of song and spring to intimate love lyrics and Tuscan rispetti, and finally to night-sky meditations, antiquity, history, and faith. Notable pieces evoke ascent to Parnassus, enchanted awakenings, Tuscan olives and cypresses, Venetian moonlight, Etruscan funerary art, and reflective scenes at Avignon; others weigh art against life, grief against remembrance, and science against spirit (Darwinism), before rising to hymnal address (Antiphon to the Holy Spirit) and a quiet closing assent (Epilogue). Across sonnets, sestinas, aubades, and songs, the voice fuses myth and landscape with a clear, musical diction, recurring images of spring and twilight, and a steady effort to transmute sorrow into song.
