| Summary | "Wampum and Old Gold" by Hervey Allen is a collection of poems that reflects on various themes ranging from nature to the human experience, written in the early 20th century. AS a significant work, it encapsulates the sentiments of post-World War I, exploring the emotional landscape of loss, love, and memory. The title suggests a connection to cultural artifacts and the precious elements of life, hinting at the depth of human experience captured within the poetry. The collection features a variety of poems divided into two main sections: those written since 1918 and those composed during the author's experiences in France at the front. The poems evoke a rich tapestry of emotions as they navigate through personal reflections, nature's beauty, and the impact of war. Notable pieces such as "Confession," "The Blindman," and "Soldier-Poet" delve into themes of despair, longing, and loss, revealing the complexity of human emotions amidst the backdrop of conflict. Allen's evocative language and vivid imagery invite readers to contemplate the fragile beauty of life and the lessons learned through hardship, making this collection resonate with readers seeking both beauty and depth in poetry.
