Synopsis

Shells is a collection of poetry by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, first published in 1907. The book contains a series of poems that explore the themes of love, nature, spirituality, and the human experience. The title of the book, Shells, refers to the metaphorical shells that people use to protect themselves from the world, and the poems within the collection encourage readers to break free from these shells and embrace life fully. Wilcox's writing style is lyrical and emotive, with a focus on the beauty of the natural world and the power of human emotions. Her poems often contain uplifting messages of hope and positivity, encouraging readers to find joy and meaning in their lives. Throughout the collection, Wilcox draws on her own experiences and observations, creating a deeply personal and reflective work. The poems range in length and style, from short, simple verses to longer, more complex pieces. Overall, Shells is a timeless collection of poetry that continues to resonate with readers today. Wilcox's powerful words and inspirational messages make this book a must-read for anyone seeking to find meaning and purpose in their lives.By the waves of thought, these ""Shells"" were washed out upon the shores of imagination, and I gathered them in idle moments. If they shall give you a few hours enjoyment, it will add to the pleasure I experienced in making the collection.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Our lives are songs. God writes the words, And we set them to music at pleasure; And the song grows glad, or sweet, or sad, As we choose to fashion the measure. We must write the music, whatever the song, Whatever its rhyme, or metre ;A nd if it is sad, we can make it glad. Or if sweet, we can make it sweeter. One has a song that is free and strong; But the music he writes is minor; And the sad, sad strain is replete with pain, And the singer becomes a repiner. And he thinks God gave him a dirge-like lay. Nor knows that the words are cheery ;A nd the song seems lonely and solemn only Because the music is dreary.
