Résumé : "Minor Poems" is a curated anthology of English poetry, edited by Rossiter Johnson, featuring a diverse array of poets and styles. The collection includes works from renowned poets such as Robert Burns, Alfred Tennyson, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, among others. Each poem captures themes of change ranging from love and beauty to nature and existential reflections. The anthology opens with Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "A Musical Instrument," a poem that explores the myth of Pan and the creation of music, symbolizing the transformative power of art. Alfred Tennyson's "The Voyage" follows, offering a metaphorical journey that reflects on the pursuit of dreams and the passage of time. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" presents a vivid, dreamlike progression of an exotic paradise, while William Wordsworth's "She Was a Phantom of Delight" celebrates the ethereal beauty and grace of a beloved woman. The collection also includes lighter, more whimsical pieces such as "The Spinning-Wheel Song" by John Francis Waller, which captures the charm of rural life and young love. Each poem in the anthology is carefully selected to showcase the richness and diversity of English poetry, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the poetic landscape of the time.
