About this book
Selected Poems of Francis Thompson comes with a Biographical Note by Wilfrid Meynell. The contents list is arranged under headings that include, among others, Poems on Children, From Sister Songs, Love in Dian's Lap and Miscellaneous Poems, with titles such as Daisy, The Poppy and The Hound of Heaven. A passage about the poet's life says that a beautiful Sussex village, Storrington, has its fixed place on the map of English literature, for there Francis Thompson discovered his possibilities as a poet.
The text says the children of the family in London, into which he was received, were the subjects of Poppy, The Making of Viola, To Monica Thought Dying and To my Godchild, all in the first book of Poems. The text describes the genius of Francis Thompson as Oriental, exuberant in colour, woven into elaborate patterns, and draped in old silk robes that had survived many dynasties.
