Publisher's Synopsis
A Calendar of Sonnets is a collection of 12 sonnets, each one inspired by a different month of the year. Written by Helen Jackson, also known as ""H.H."", the sonnets are a celebration of nature and the changing seasons. The sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, with a rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA CDC DCD. Each sonnet paints a vivid picture of the sights, sounds, and sensations of a particular month, from the ""snowy silence"" of January to the ""mellow glory"" of October. Throughout the collection, Jackson's love of nature shines through, as she describes the ""white-robed maids"" of April and the ""drowsy August day"" with equal passion. The sonnets are also infused with a sense of spirituality, as Jackson reflects on the cycles of life and the passing of time. Overall, A Calendar of Sonnets is a beautiful and timeless tribute to the natural world, and a testament to the enduring power of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
