Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses
Transcribed from the 1901 David Nutt edition by David Price
"Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses" by William Ernest Henley is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. Reflecting the lyrical and emotional depth characteristic of the period, the poems explore themes of love, loss, nature, and the passage of time. The collection captures both the beauty and melancholy of life’s experiences, intertwining personal reflection with broader contemplations of existence. The poems delve into the duality of life and death, the changing seasons, and the emotional resonance of memory. In "Hawthorn and Lavender," Henley evokes the longing for love and the inevitability of loss, using vivid imagery of nature's cycles to mirror the human condition. The verses blend personal sentiments with cultural reflection, often addressed to a beloved, intertwining natural beauty with intimate feelings. Moreover, Henley's work hints at a broader narrative of resilience against despair, illustrating the interplay of joy and sorrow that defines the human journey. The collection is rich with musicality and depth, making it a poignant read for those seeking insight into the complexities of life and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
