De la Mare, Walter
"Collected Poems 1901-1918 in Two Volumes. Volume I" by Walter De la Mare is a collection of lyrical poetry written during the early 20th century. The poems explore themes of nature, childhood, dreams, and the passage of time, often infused with a sense of melancholy and wonder. De la Mare delves into the human experience with an intimate and reflective tone, offering a glimpse into the emotional landscape of his time. The opening of this volume introduces several lyrical poems that set the thematic tone of the collection. Poems like "They Told Me," "Sorcery," and "The Children of Stare" draw the reader into a world where nature is alive with emotion and where the innocence of childhood is tinged with a poignant awareness of loss and aging. The imagery is vivid and evocative, with a strong sense of longing and nostalgia permeating the lines, as seen in reflections on love, memory, and the inexorable flow of time. The initial verses serve as an invitation to engage with the depth and beauty of De la Mare's poetic vision. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
