"Oracles from the Poets: A Fanciful Diversion for the Drawing Room" by Caroline Gilman is a collection of poetic fortune-telling questions and answers, likely written in the mid-19th century. This unique work captures a whimsical approach to literature where playfulness meets classical poetry, inviting readers into an exploration of human feelings and experiences through the lens of various renowned poets. The opening of the book provides insight into the author's motivation for creating this whimsical collection, stemming from her memories of childhood games involving fortune-telling. Gilman reflects on her own experiences and emphasizes how the selection of poetic excerpts will allow readers to engage with the oracles in a spirited manner, akin to drawing from a magical well of wisdom. She sets the tone for the book, explaining the intended use of these oracles for entertainment and social interaction, promising an enriching experience through its elegantly woven questions about character, love, and destiny.
