Chesterton’s early book of poems, first published in 1900, gathers lyrics of wonder and praise for ordinary things. It includes ‘The Donkey’, ‘The Skeleton’, ‘A Chord of Colour’, ‘The Happy Man’, ‘Ecclesiastes’ and ‘The Fish’, and ends with ‘The Wild Knight’, a short verse drama about a mad knight who seeks God in the world.
Exuberant early Chesterton, already full of the paradoxes and joy of his later work. Download the free EPUB.
