Résumé

Résumé : "Grass of Parnassus" is a collection of poems by Andrew Lang, first published in 1888. The anthology is a blend of original verses and translations, showcasing Lang's literary prowess and his deep appreciation for classical themes. The collection is divided into several sections, each with its own thematic focus. The poems explore a variety of subjects, including the passage of time, the constancy of friendship, and the beauty of nature. Lang's work is characterized by its lyrical quality and its ability to evoke vivid imagery and emotion. The collection opens with a dedication to E. M. S., expressing the enduring nature of friendship despite the inevitable changes brought by time. The poems in "Grass of Parnassus" often reflect on the transient nature of life and the enduring power of memory. Lang's translations from the Greek Anthology and other classical sources are interspersed throughout the collection, highlighting his scholarly background and his ability to bring ancient texts to life for a contemporary audience. Lang's poetry is marked by a sense of nostalgia and a longing for the past, as seen in poems like "Twilight on Tweed" and "A Sunset on Yarrow." These works capture the beauty of the natural world and the deep emotional connections that people form with their surroundings. The collection also includes poems that reflect on historical events and figures, such as "Colonel Burnaby" and "Melville and Coghill," which pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of individuals in the face of adversity. Overall, "Grass of Parnassus" is a testament to Andrew Lang's skill as a poet and his ability to weave together themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The collection remains a significant contribution to the world of poetry, offering readers a glimpse into the mind of a writer who was deeply attuned to the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
