Produced by Al Haines "Hesperus" by Charles Sangster is a collection of poems and lyrics written in the mid-19th century. The work reflects the romantic sensibilities and explorations of nature, love, and spirituality prevalent during this period, often drawing on rich imagery and themes of beauty. The opening portion introduces both a dedicatory poem and the titular piece, "Hesperus," each imbued with emotion and philosophical musings about existence and the divine. The opening of "Hesperus" begins with a heartfelt dedication to the author's niece and moves into a lyrical exploration that evokes the majesty of the stars and their connection to human emotion. The speaker, alongside another character named Mary, contemplates the Evening Star, drawing parallels between celestial beauty and earthly experiences. They reflect on the collective aspirations and dreams of countless souls gazing up at the stars, leading to musings on the mysteries of existence and the yearning for harmony between humanity and the divine. This sets a contemplative tone that resonates throughout the collection.
