1863. A collection of verse by the poet and travel writer Bayard Taylor who produced popular chronicles of his journeys at home and abroad, as well as novels and collections of poetry. His poetry is striking for qualities that appeal to the ear and eye, finished, sonorous in diction and rhythm, at times too rhetorical, but rich in sound, color, and metrical effects. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
