About this book
Kindness and the loss of loved ones give Eliza Paul Gurney's poems their recurring concerns. The collection opens with a short poem dated 1811, then moves through album verses, reflections on time and responses to particular places. At the Delaware Water Gap, the grandeur of the rocks and river leads the speaker to consider divine power and human frailty. A visit to an institution for deaf people prompts a change in her assumptions when she sees the pupils' happiness and intelligence.
Natural scenes often carry a second meaning in these verses. Spring brings birds, running water and flowers, yet its brightness cannot restore lost friends. The poems turn repeatedly toward religious comfort and the hope of reunion in heaven. Dates and initials lend the writing a personal setting, while familiar voices and remembered homes connect grief with daily experience.
