I did not read this entire book, I only read the poem from the list of exemplar text ("Who has seen the wind?" on page 205). My initial reaction to this poem was not positive. I did not like it and thought I wasted my time looking it up because it is so short. However, after reading it a few times I realized that this would be a good introductory poem for a second or third grader. It is simple, it rhymes, and it makes you think. The message readers could get from this poem is that just because you cannot see something does not mean it does not exist. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

'The mystery of Life, the mysteryOf Death, I seeDarkly as in a glass...'Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is perhaps the most contradictory of the great Victorian poets. She writes of the world's beauty, but fears that it may be deceptive, even deadly. She is a religious poet, but much of her work is driven by uncertainty. Her poems are restrained, even secretive, but theyseek nothing less than the mystery of Life and Death.This edition contains Rossetti's strongest and most distinctive work: poetry (including 'Goblin Market', 'The Prince's Progress', and the sonnet sequence 'Monna Innominata'), stories (including the complete text of Maude), devotional prose (with nearly fifty entries from the 'reading diary' TimesFlies), and personal letters. Those poems which Rossetti published, and those which she withheld from publication, are here brought together in chronological order, allowing the reader to observe her poetic trajectory. This edition also records the major revisions made by Rossetti when preparingher poems for publication. It brings together the fullest range of Rossetti's poetry and prose in one volume, and is an indispensable introduction to this entrancing writer. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
