This collection contains poetic reflections on life and death from some of the world's best-loved poets, including Wordsworth, Tennyson, Dickinson, Rossetti, Keats, Brontë, and many more.
Ranging from wisdoms on youth and age to heart-wrenching elegies of bereavement and profound meditations on the nature of human mortality, these are poems that explore our precious time on earth and perhaps offer some comfort for those seeking consolation.
