Summary "Ballades and Verses Vain" by Andrew Lang is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This work features various poetic forms, including ballades and sonnets, showcasing Lang's mastery of rhythm and rhyme while exploring themes of love, nature, and mortality. The poems reflect Lang's deep appreciation for literary tradition, often invoking classical references and a nostalgic tone, inviting readers into a rich, lyrical world. At the start of the collection, the reader is introduced to Lang's lyrical prowess through the "Ballade Dedicatory" and several other ballades. These opening poems convey a sense of history and personal reflection, often drawing connections between the present and the past while portraying intimate moments and sentiments. Lang's exploration of seasonal changes and the passage of time is particularly poignant, setting the stage for a thematic journey that balances light-heartedness with deeper philosophical musings throughout the collection. Overall, the opening portion of the book establishes a charming yet contemplative tone that invites readers to linger on the beauty of language and the intricacies of human emotion.
