| Summary | "The White Sail, and Other Poems" by Louise Imogen Guiney is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The poems within this volume explore themes of love, longing, and the human experience, combining both lyrical and narrative elements. Guiney's work often draws upon classical references, evoking a sense of timelessness and depth in her exploration of the human condition. The opening portion of the collection features a vivid narrative poem centered on the character of Ægeus and his anxiety over the fate of his son, Theseus, who has embarked on a perilous journey to Crete. The narrative describes Ægeus's despair as he waits for news of his son's safe return, recounting the emotional moments and the weight of expectation intertwined with mythology. Guiney employs rich imagery and a thoughtful examination of themes such as parental love, hope, and the intertwining of fate and choice, laying a captivating foundation for the poems that follow in the collection.
