Project Gutenberg 1998-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 322 Thompson, Francis 1859 1907 Poems Transcribed from the September 1909 Burns and Oates edition by David Price "Poems by Francis Thompson" is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century, during the Victorian era. This anthology brings together various themes such as love, nature, mortality, and spirituality, reflecting the complex emotions and philosophical thought of the time. The poems traverse a landscape of longing, exploration of the divine, and poignant reflections on human experience. The collection features signature works such as "The Hound of Heaven," which expresses the poet's struggle with divine pursuit and human frailty. Other poems, like "Daisy" and "To My Godchild," showcase the innocence and beauty of childhood, contrasted sharply with themes of loss and transience. Thompson's language is rich and evocative, often combining vivid imagery with deep emotional resonance. The verses encapsulate a yearning for connection—whether that be with a beloved, the divine, or the fleeting moments of life, creating a profound exploration of love and existence through the lens of the poet's unique experiences and insights.
