Fly Leaves
Transcribed from the 1884 Deighton, Bell, and Co. edition by David Price
"Fly Leaves" by Charles Stuart Calverley is a collection of humorous and whimsical poetry written during the late 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. Reflecting the playful use of language and a light-hearted tone, the book likely explores themes of love, nature, and human folly through its various verses. The collection contains a series of poems that showcase Calverley's wit and charm, often employing satire and irony. Each poem captures moments of daily life, from the joys of love and nostalgia for first romantic experiences to lighthearted reflections on societal norms and personal relationships. The verses vary in subject matter, depicting lively scenes like encounters with nature, playful banter about relationships, and musings on life’s simpler pleasures, all delivered with a touch of humor that reveals both the absurdity and beauty of human experiences.
