This was a fun little book of 100
Poems from the late 19th early 20th century. I actually really enjoyed reading it. I only read it because i'm doing a book challenge this year and needed a book of poetry. I did love that the last poem in the book was Psalms 100.

A sublime collection of writings.

This is a fine collection of sayings and writings from many places. I buy this book periodically as it comes back in print.

The most interesting surprise was when I purchased the CD, "The Book of Secrets" by Loreena McKennitt; it had "The Highwayman" in it as a song. This is a poem by Alfred Noyes. This is but one of the thousand beautiful things.
