Beschreibung

“The Miracle of St. Anthony”—whatever the exact date of its writing, and that is a point which the author himself has probably forgotten,—belongs in flavour and spirit, to that early period of the career of the Belgian seer and mystic to which Mr. James Huneker referred when he wrote “There is no denying the fact that at one time Maeterlinck meant for most people a crazy crow, masquerading in tail feathers plucked from the Swan of Avon.” For it was to Shakespeare that he was first compared, though the title “the Belgian Shakespeare” was applied ironically by some, just as later manifestationsof his genius won for him the appellation of “the Belgian Emerson.

The wedding.  The legal and public union of two people. 
 
A very simple concept and one we all, at one time or another, have thought about. 
 
In life that’s the easy part.   
 
The difficult part is the ceremony, not for the dewy-eyed couple, family and friends but for those who are now called to stand and offer words of tribute, of jest and of satisfaction with the couple, on their past lives and future happiness.   
 
Even the most socially hardened are certain nerves will fray and know the importance of confidence and delivery at this unique moment.  Expectations are high and a badly punch-lined joke or story has the glaring eyes of the room upon you.  
 
In this volume our classic and well-loved poets take the work out of words and offer up lines and verse of unrivalled beauty, telling knowledge and the comfort of love.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning, W B Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, Khalil Gibran are but a handful of the poets who will speak for you and on behalf of us all.

Over the far horizon the blanket of night begins to slowly dissolve.  The sun is once more on its daily journey across the heavens.  The light begins to sharpen and increase in intensity revealing the landscape.  Morning has begun and dazed heads and sleepy faces come to terms with the new day. 
Our poets capture the mood, the emotions and all manner of other details in their descriptions of this time.  But then with the calibre of wordsmiths such as Tennyson, Wordsworth, Milton, Southey, Donne and many more besides we are almost spoilt. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
