Item description from seller

How the moon triumphs through the endless nights! How the stars throb and glitter as they wheel Their thick processions of supernal lights Around the blue vault obdurate as steel! And men regard with passionate awe and yearning The mighty marching and the golden burning, And think the heavens respond to what they feel. By turns allegorical, visionary, and satirical, The City of Dreadful Night and Other Writings combines Thomson’s poetic magnum opus with selections from his poetry and literary-critical, belletristic prose pieces, written for The Secular Review, National Reformer, and Cope’s Tobacco Plant in the 1860s and 70s.

Several prose volumes collect his satirical, belletristic, and critical writings. These include Essays and Phantasies (1881) and Satires and Profanities (1884). Posthumously, a volume of his translations of Leopardi was edited and published by his friend, the literary scholar and editor Bertram Dobell. …
