Lionel Johnson, a member of the Rhymers’ Club alongside Yeats and Dowson, wrote formal, learned verse of devotion and place. The book opens with a hymn to Winchester, where he went to school, and includes By the Statue of King Charles at Charing Cross, Plato in London, poems on Wales and Cornwall, and meditations shaped by his Catholic faith.
Austere, musical poetry from the 1890s, rewarding for readers of Yeats and the Decadents. Download the free EPUB.
