Summary "A Century of Roundels" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century, specifically within the Victorian era. This book captures a rich tapestry of the human experience through the lens of poetic forms known as roundels, which often reflect on themes of love, loss, time, and nature. It showcases Swinburne's signature style, emphasizing musicality and emotional depth, focusing on the myriad of feelings that define our existence. The collection features a series of roundels that delve into various aspects of life, love, and mortality. Swinburne explores the impact of time on human emotions, reminiscing about the past while grappling with the inevitability of death. The poetry often reflects personal sentiments tied to friendships and experiences, addressing both the joy and sorrow intertwined with love. Notable inclusions are meditations on the deaths of friends and artistic figures like Richard Wagner, along with musings on childhood and the passage of time. Through vivid imagery and lyrical beauty, Swinburne masterfully captures the essence of human longing and the transient nature of life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
