A collection of short lyrics on memory, love, illness and religious hope, opening with an allegory of a weaver who sends her spirits abroad for golden thread and is told to look nearer home. Other poems recall childhood years, the city of suffering, the scent of heliotrope, estrangement and the writer’s own inkstand.
Quiet, devout nineteenth-century verse for readers who enjoy the domestic poetry of its era. Download the free EPUB.
