Roses And Rue

Roses and Rue is a collection of poems by William Alexander Taylor, first published in 1894. The book contains a range of poems, from romantic and sentimental to reflective and philosophical. The title of the book refers to the two opposing themes of the collection: the beauty and joy of love (symbolized by roses) and the pain and sorrow of life (symbolized by rue). The poems in Roses and Rue are characterized by their lyrical and emotional language, as well as their use of traditional poetic forms such as sonnets and ballads. Many of the poems explore themes of love, loss, and mortality, and are marked by a sense of melancholy and nostalgia.

His poems frequently feature vivid descriptions of the natural world, and he often uses nature as a metaphor for human emotions and experiences. Overall, Roses and Rue is a poignant and reflective collection of poems that explores the joys and sorrows of life, love, and nature. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
