(William Ernest) Poems Transcribed from the 1907 David Nutt edition by Diarmuid Pigott with some additional material and proofing by David Price "Poems" by William Ernest Henley is a collection of poetry likely written during the late 19th century. The work focuses on various themes ranging from the personal struggles of life, death, and the human condition to the beauty and trials of nature, as well as the complexities of love and friendship. The opening portion of the book features a series of poems set in a hospital, depicting the thoughts and emotions of a patient undergoing surgery. The verses explore feelings of fear, vulnerability, and the stark reality of medical settings, from the coldness of the hospital atmosphere to the physical and mental turmoil faced by the patients. Henley provides vivid imagery through reflections on characters such as the old-fashioned nurse and various other staff members, capturing a range of human experiences during moments of crisis and introspection. This intimate glimpse into the intersection of life and death establishes a powerful emotional tone that invites readers to contemplate their own existence and relationships.
