Project Gutenberg 2011-10-13 Public domain in the USA. 50 Presland, John 1885 1975 Skelton, Gladys Bendit, Gladys Williams Poems of London, and Other Verses Produced by Al Haines "Poems of London, and Other Verses" by John Presland is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century, capturing the essence of urban life in London and the broader human experience. The poems reflect themes of nature, love, sorrow, and the transient beauty of life, with a strong focus on the city of London as both a backdrop and a character in its own right. Overall, the book likely serves as a contemplation of life in the city amid changing times, resonating with the emotions of its residents. The collection is divided into two main sections: "Poems of London" and "Other Verses," each offering a rich tapestry of imagery and sentiment. In "Poems of London," pieces like "London Dawn," "Spring in Oxford Street," and "In the Tube" delve into daily moments, epitomizing the dichotomy of beauty and struggle within the bustling metropolis. Meanwhile, "Other Verses" expands to broader themes, addressing love, nature, and reflections on life and death, as seen in poems like "A Ballad of the Fall of Knossos" and "Love is the Ultimate Measure of the Soul." Through eloquent language and vivid imagery, Presland captures the profound connection between the human spirit and its environment, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences within the tapestry of time and place.
