| Summary | "Selected Poems" by John Masefield is a collection of lyrical poetry likely written in the early 20th century. The poems explore themes of nature, the sea, love, loss, and the passage of time, reflecting Masefield's deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of life. The collection captures a wide range of emotions and experiences, inviting readers into the poet's reflections and musings on human existence. The opening of this collection features a variety of poems including "Trade Winds," "Sea-Fever," and "Prayer." In "Trade Winds," Masefield paints a vivid picture of Caribbean life, contrasting the tranquility of the harbor with the lively social atmosphere. "Sea-Fever" expresses a longing for the sea and the freedom found in seafaring, emphasizing the beauty and power of nature. Meanwhile, "Prayer" delves into themes of mortality, yearning for a peaceful passage at sea as one grapples with the larger questions of life and death. The beginning presents a blend of imagery and emotion that sets the tone for the rest of Masefield's evocative work. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
