Project Gutenberg 2011-10-13 Public domain in the USA. 183 Presland, John 1885 1975 Skelton, Gladys Bendit, Gladys Williams The Deluge, and Other Poems Produced by Al Haines "The Deluge, and Other Poems by John Presland" is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The works within this volume range from dramatic narratives to sonnets, exploring themes such as love, nature, and human aspiration. The title poem, "The Deluge", appears to draw inspiration from biblical narratives, blending myth with personal reflection. The collection begins with "The Deluge," which presents a dramatic dialogue involving a seeker after truth, his wife, and his mother as they grapple with existential fears and divine wrath. As the poem unfolds, it delves into the tensions between personal desires and the consequences of defiance against divine authority, ultimately culminating in destruction. The subsequent sonnets and poems, such as "To April" and "A Ballad of King Richard," reflect on love, beauty, and the passage of time, often imbuing natural imagery with profound emotional resonance. Throughout, Presland's eloquent language and vivid imagery invite readers to contemplate the intricate interplay of love, nature, and the pursuit of truth.
