Synopsis
Bridge-building poetry that fuses grand ideas with vivid, human imagery. The Bridge-Builders and Other Poems gathers lyrical meditations that turn science, faith, history, and everyday life into spoken bridges across time and thought. This edition presents a collected voice that ranges from sacred to worldly, blending myth, memory, and modern wonder.
In these pages, you’ll encounter bold meditations on civilization, power, and the costs of progress, framed by striking scenes of England, travel, and the natural world. The work moves from contemplative fore-words to panoramic odes, offering both intimate moments and sweeping visions. It invites readers to consider what it means to build meaning, and to live with courage, curiosity, and care.
- Experience poems that examine bridges—between souls, eras, and disciplines—told in clear, direct language.
- Read vivid scenes of rivers, cities, and landscapes, from London’s embankments to distant mythic settings.
- Meet a range of themes, including duty, love, faith, science, and the human longing to connect.
- Enjoy accessible, thoughtfully crafted verse designed for steady, reflective reading.
Ideal for readers who savor ambition in poetry, for those drawn to reflective verse about society, history, and the human spirit.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the bridging of divides that separate people from one another, whether physical divides such as gorges and rivers, or social divides like differences in class, creed, or gender. The author adeptly positions the main subject within the broader historical context of the Nineteenth Century, when distinctions between barbarism and civilization were defined by one's degree of infrastructure and technological prowess. This book sets out to challenge that idea, presenting a 'cross-stream' morality as the highest morality of all: a morality that leads to service and brotherhood. Thematic depth is derived from morality, equality, and the impact of industrialization, resulting in social isolation, and the dehumanizing forces of the 'asceticism' and 'stolidity' that capitalism creates. This book provides a unique and thought-provoking exploration of bridging the chasms that separate humanity, and its significance lies in the insights it offers into creating a more just and equitable society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
