Project Gutenberg 2013-06-02 Public domain in the USA. 81 Sherman, Francis 1871 1926 Sherman, Francis Joseph In Memorabilia Mortis Produced by Al Haines "In Memorabilia Mortis" by Francis Sherman is a collection of poems written in the late 19th century. This book captures the essence of mortality and the transitioning seasons, specifically reflecting on the themes of death and loss as they relate to the natural cycle of life. It comprises six sonnets that explore autumn as a metaphor for finality, memory, and the elegiac qualities of nature. In this poignant collection, Sherman utilizes the imagery of autumn—the falling leaves and the dying year—to evoke feelings of nostalgia and contemplation. The poems journey through experiences of watching the seasons change, depicting both the beauty and sorrow intertwined with memories of love and loss. Figures from mythology and history, such as Guenevere and Alcestis, are referenced as a means to illustrate timeless themes of longing and the enduring impact of love, even in the face of death. Ultimately, Sherman leaves readers with a sense of grace that accompanies the acceptance of mortality, transforming the melancholy of autumn into a sacred reverie that breathes life into memories cherished.
