Project Gutenberg 2003-10-01 Public domain in the USA. 180 Wharton, Edith 1862 1937 Wharton, Edith Newbold Jones Olivieri, David Artemis to Actaeon, and Other Verses Produced by Charles Aldarondo "Artemis to Actaeon, and Other Verses" by Edith Wharton is a poetry collection written in the early 20th century. The book features a range of verses that explore themes of life, mortality, love, and the nature of existence through a classical lens, often referencing mythology and historical figures. With rich imagery and thought-provoking reflections, it delves into the complexities of human emotions and experiences. The collection is divided into three parts, each containing various poems that reflect Wharton's nuanced understanding of life and death. In the titular poem "Artemis to Actaeon," Wharton examines the tragic fate of Actaeon who, upon seeing the goddess Artemis, is transformed into a stag and hunted by his own dogs. Other poems, such as "Vesalius in Zante" and "Margaret of Cortona," weave historical narrative with personal introspection, addressing themes of sacrifice and redemption. Wharton’s lyrical style captures profound philosophical musings about the intertwining of love and grief, the quest for immortality, and the pursuit of truth amidst mortality, ultimately inviting readers to reflect on the fragility and beauty of life.
