Présentation de l'éditeur
Poems of the meek and holy martyr, Robert Southwell, very few words of preface are necessary. The work has long been known and appreciated by Scholars and Critics. The Poems of Father Southwell are however eminently adapted for general use. His touching aphorisms, his sweet quaint images, should make them familiar in every christian household. The Bard of Bards, Shakspeare himself, never gave a more wholesome lesson, than is couched in these simple lines :A chance may -win, that by mischance was lost; The well that holds no great, takes little fish ;I nsome things all, in all things none are crossed, Few all they need, but none have all they wish; Unmeddled joys here to no man befall, Who least hath some, who most hath never all. Let the children lisp the Poetry of Southwell, and lay it to their hearts. It has uses for this woi ld, as well as for the next.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating journey into the life and works of a 16th-century English Jesuit priest and poet. Immersed in a turbulent era of religious persecution, the author navigates a dangerous landscape while composing poignant and introspective poems that explore themes of faith, love, loss, and the yearning for spiritual solace. Through his verses, we witness the author's unwavering devotion to his beliefs, even in the face of imprisonment and torture. His words paint vivid imagery of the internal struggles and spiritual triumphs experienced by those who dared to defy the established order. This collection of poems not only serves as a testament to the author's personal resilience but also sheds light on the broader historical context of religious conflict in 16th-century England.
