Summary "The Poetical Works of George MacDonald in Two Volumes — Volume 2" by MacDonald is a collection of poetry written during the late 19th century. This volume encompasses a variety of poetic forms, including parables, ballads, and poems intended for children, showcasing MacDonald's mastery of metaphor and rich imagery to explore themes of nature, spirituality, and human emotion. The collection invites readers into a reflective journey, prompting them to consider deeper truths about existence, love, and the divine. At the start of this second volume, the opening poems introduce readers to MacDonald’s contemplative style, set against natural backdrops that symbolize personal and spiritual quests. The first poem, "The Man of Songs," presents a character caught between dreams and reality, yearning for a tangible connection with the world around him. Following this, "The Hills" reflects nostalgic appreciation for childhood landscapes and the joy of exploration, while "The Journey" evokes the struggles and triumphs encountered along life's path. Through vivid descriptions, MacDonald invites readers to engage with their own inner landscapes, establishing an atmosphere of both melancholy and hope that resonates throughout the volume.
