Httle collection of verse, my distinct aim has been to give my friends the best fruits of my literary efforts. My intention is not to experiment with the good will of the public in order to discern what pecuniary profit I can derive from the work. I cannot hope for greater remuneration than a continuation of such kind words and encouraging compliments as I have already received. Like the wayside singer, unheeded by a majority of the common multitude, I sing for such as will pause to listen; not only those whose gifted hands can touch the magic string, but the voiceless poets also, to whose natural sense of the beautiful the ring of poetry gives delightful response. Thankful for the reassurance of friends I submit this brief volume to the public to be received and reacted upon, not as a work of exceptional merit, but as a gift in token of my appreciation of their manv favors. Very sincerely, GUY R. HALL.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of original verse offering a glimpse into the intimate thoughts and musings of the author, capturing a window into their personal experiences and reflections. Rooted in a classical tradition, the author pens poems that span a range of Romantic and traditional verse forms while also including samples of contemporary free verse and dialect. While the author's voice is central to the narrative, this book does not prescribe itself as autobiography. The majority of the poems are imaginative and illustrative, leading the reader to explore the landscapes of friendship, love, loss, and the minutiae of everyday life. Written with a variety of occasions in mind, several poems in this book present themselves as dedicatory verse for friends and family members, while others assume the form of tributes to deceased loved ones or expressions of remembrance on significant dates. Also included are poetic offerings for children, illustrating playful and humorous examples of verse. The author presents a meditation on the nature of art and creativity in the poem "Portrait of Memory" while exploring themes of sorrow and the loss of youthful beauty. Lighter moments are explored in the poem "Sanity Claus Talk," a piece that will surely appeal to a younger audience with its whimsical depiction of the Christmas season. This book presents a unique blend of personal and universal themes, inviting readers along on a journey through the author's own experiences and imagination. Whether one encounters this book for its moments of joy, melancholy, or lighthearted fun, it offers a diverse collection of verse for readers to enjoy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
