| Summary | "Harps Hung up in Babylon" by Arthur Colton is a collection of poetic works written in the early 20th century. This book encompasses a variety of themes that include reflections on love, loss, and the passage of time, drawing heavily upon biblical and historical imagery to evoke deep emotional resonance. Through its lyrical expressions, the collection explores both personal and universal experiences, inviting readers into a world rich with evocative language and contemplative thought. The content of the book is characterized by its diverse range of poems, such as "The Captive," which illustrates the interplay of mercy and justice through the story of a king and a beggar, and "The Shepherd and the Knight," which contrasts the lives of a knight on a quest and a shepherd content with his pastoral existence. Other poems, like "Faustine" and "The Water-Lily," delve into musings of love and beauty, while "Without the Gate" provides a poignant metaphor for longing and unfulfilled desire. Throughout "Harps Hung up in Babylon," Colton intertwines nature, spirituality, and commentary on humanity, allowing readers to reflect on their own lives and the universal truths that bind them to the past and future.
