Author Russell, George William, 1867-1935
Title The Divine Vision, and Other Poems
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Divine Vision, and Other Poems by George William Russell" is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century. The poems explore themes of love, beauty, nature, and spirituality, often drawing on Celtic mythology and imagery. Russell, who used the pseudonym A.E., expresses deep emotional truths through rich, lyrical language and a sense of mystical connection to both the earth and the divine. The collection delves into various moods and concepts, from the longing and passion of love to meditations on mortality and the divine. Poems such as "The Gates of Dreamland" and "The Well of All Healing" suggest a yearning for transcendence and the exploration of the soul's journey. Russell's use of myth serves to elevate personal experiences, blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, while the recurring motifs of nature and the divine highlight humanity's quest for meaning and connection. As a whole, the work reflects on the interplay of joy, sorrow, and the eternal quest for beauty and understanding in life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
