I found this to be an interesting and relatively enjoyable collection of poems. I appreciated its Romanticism – or Pre-Raphaelism, perhaps, if that was even a thing outside of painting? – and the collection's recurring Nature-based imagery, butI didn't actually come across that many poems I truly loved as such.
The section of the book devoted to Christian pieces was, for its part, somewhat interesting from an 'academic' point of view, I suppose, but largely left me cold on a more emotional front. Still, on the whole, I don't regret purchasing this pretty little edition, and will happily keep it in my library.
