About this book

Patriotic hymns, comic tales and reflections on the mind share the pages of this 1911 poetry collection by Arthur Conan Doyle. Its three sections distinguish narrative verses and songs, philosophic verses, and miscellaneous pieces. The opening hymn addresses Britain and the wider empire, while Sir Nigel's song turns to a knight's appetite for danger and achievement. Elsewhere, a groom disputes the conduct of a horse seller, and an artist's damaged canvas becomes an occasion for poking fun at fashionable criticism.

The poems move between public loyalties and individual experience, using both formal lyric language and conversational dialect. In the passage from Bendy's sermon, a preacher answers disruptive listeners with the skills of a fighter, giving the scene its rough comedy. Compensation takes a quieter direction: a speaker confined to a London room transforms stains and street sounds into imagined scenes from history. Readers interested in Doyle's verse can find storytelling, humor and questions about the reach of thought within a compact collection.
