Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
Songs of the unblind Cupid by J. Wm. Lloyd is a collection of lyric poems and brief aphorisms written in the late 19th century. It is a poetic meditation on love in its sensual, spiritual, and ethical aspects, likely focused on desire, freedom, tenderness, and the moral imagination of affection. The sequence moves from an opening call for an “unblind” Cupid to poems that dramatize love’s many faces: a woman’s wholehearted offering in The Cactus Flower; a catalog of love’s opposites in Love; a playful fable in Love A-Limping where Venus consoles a bruised Cupid; and crisp interludes that pronounce on liberty, fidelity, and the nature of passion. Love is praised as the true fountain of youth, and imagined as gentle, non-possessive care in My Little Bird. Love Is a Vine argues that affection thrives with multiple supports, hinting at a freer, less possessive ideal. The ecstatic ode Violin renders desire, union, and nurture in cascading images, while Magdalen invokes compassion and redemption, urging atonement through wiser loves. Throughout, nature and music metaphors, tender eroticism, and moral clarity weave a unified vision of liberated, responsible love.
