Beschreibung
This beautiful pocket-sized volume is a compilation of William Wordsworth’s poetry on birds. The collection includes lyrical, melancholic poems alongside whimsical pieces that will make readers’ heart’s soar.
With themes of freedom, hope and love in The Book of Birds Wordsworth uses darker imagery to express his innermost thoughts and views of the world through the beautiful imagery of birds. This carefully curated book collates some of the poet’s most inspiring work as well as a few of his seminal pieces.
This collection includes fantastic poems such as:
-
- The Green Linnet
-
- To a Sky-lark, 1807
-
- To the Cuckoo
-
- The Sparrow’s Nest
-
- A Wren’s Nest
-
- Animal Tranquillity and Decay

Proudly republished by Read & Co. Books Ragged Hand, Wordsworth’s Poetry on Birds is now in a new compact, pocket-sized edition. This collection is completed by an introductory excerpt from Reminiscences, 1881, by Thomas Carlyle, and would make the perfect gift for lovers of birds and collectors of Wordsworth’s poetry.
Rezensionen
<p>"Wordsworth’s connection to nature is unique. Before his time, flower, stream, and mountain were considered powerless to infuse the contemplative mind with a knowledge of themselves. Wordsworth came to regard all nature as vividly representing the soul that pervades all consciousness." - <b><i>Midland Counties Tribune, 1907</i></b></p> <p>"Wordsworth… the sober, moral, meditative, nature-loving, dignified poet of the mountains."
