| Summary | "The Lathe of Morpheus; or, The dream song" by E. M. is a poetic tribute likely written in the early 20th century, showcasing a blend of dreamlike imagery and personal lamentation. This work is a collection of interconnected poems that explore themes of love, longing, fantasy, and the intricate relationship between dreams and reality, reflecting the delicate straddling of the conscious and unconscious states often found in literature of this time. The book unfolds as a series of meditative pieces addressed to "Bridget," illuminating an ethereal vision of love intertwined with a deep yearning for connection. The narrator is drawn between the enchanting "Garden of Sleep," teeming with vibrant imagery, and darker themes suggested by encounters with the forces of death and desire, including the figure of a seductive, vampiric woman. Through vivid verses, E. M. presents a struggle for emotional and artistic expression, grappling with the duality of joy and despair, as well as the fleeting nature of beauty and life itself. The intertwining of these themes leads the reader through a landscape that is both rich in sensory detail and imbued with existential reflection. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
