The Passing Throng
Produced by Al Haines
"The Passing Throng" by Edgar A. Guest is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The verses reflect on the human experience, touching upon themes of love, life, and the passage of time by highlighting mundane yet profound moments of daily existence and personal relationships. The opening of the collection introduces readers to its contemplative tone. Through evocative imagery and accessible language, Guest portrays a diverse array of characters—the old man with burdens, the joyful bride, and the hopeful youth—passing through life’s scenery. The poems reflect on the inevitability of change, grief, and the intertwining of joy and sorrow as life's fleeting moments continuously unfold. The initial verses establish a framework of deep emotional resonance, inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys amidst the "passing throng." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 75.0 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
