Poems
Excerpt from Poems
The poems contained in the following pages must be taken as parts of a whole, being intended to be distinct only in their subjects. This will account for the same measure being used throughout.
Of these pieces, the only one which has been previously published is that addressed "To a Wild Flower." My reason for inserting it here is, that it harmonizes with the other poems; and, having been already favourably spoken of by competent judges, I must confess it is one which I should "not willingly let die."

About the author
William Anderson
10 books3 followersWilliam Anderson was a British poet, critic, and scholar of medieval and religious symbolism whose work ranged confidently across literature, art, science, and philosophy. Fluent in several European languages and at home in Italy, France, and Germany as well as in his native Britain, he brought a distinctively European breadth of culture to his writing on Dante and the Middle Ages. His major works include
Dante the Maker
(1980), a PEN 'Silver Pen Award' winning intellectual and spiritual biography of Dante Alighieri,
Green Man: The Archetype of Our Oneness with the Earth
(1990), and
The Face of Glory
(1996), alongside translations of Dante's Vita Nuova among others. Throughout his career he explored how imagination shapes civilisation, reading figures like Dante and the Green Man as symbols of humanity’s creative and spiritual vocation.
