James Russell LowellBesprekingen

I found this book when Larry McGilvery and I were picking up a donation from Mrs. Walbridge. I keep it because of the wonderful pencil drawings her husband made on the flyleaves front and back. Priceless.

The illustrations were stunning; poetry was not terribly compelling.

For some reason the lines "what is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever come perfects days" have always come into my head on lovely June mornings, which I suppose is as much immortality as a poem can be expected to have.

"olde", but a surprisingly readable mix of some very amusing tales, love lost/longed for/achieved, gallantry, patriotism, beauty, age and nature
