Summary "The Unknown Eros" by Coventry Patmore is a collection of lyrical poems likely written in the late 19th century. The work delves into themes of love, beauty, and the mystical elements of existence, intertwining romantic longing with philosophical reflections on the nature of relationships and the divine. The opening of "The Unknown Eros" begins with a preface that introduces the unique form of "catalectic verse," a poetic structure Patmore embraces to express profound emotions. The first poem, "Saint Valentine's Day," sets the tone with an exploration of love's complexities in a seasonal context. As the poems unfold, Patmore captivates the reader with vivid imagery and heartfelt contemplation, reflecting on nature's cycles, the essence of true love, and the intersections of human and ethereal connections. The opening hints at an ongoing dialogue between the poet and the concept of love, setting the stage for an immersive exploration of passion, nostalgia, and the spiritual dimensions of relationships throughout the collection.
