Publisher's Synopsis
Altars, Hearths, and Graves is a collection of poems by John Moultrie, first published in 1854. The poems explore themes of love, loss, faith, and mortality, drawing on classical mythology, Christian imagery, and the natural world. The title of the collection refers to the three key locations of human experience: the altar, representing religious devotion; the hearth, symbolizing domestic life and familial relationships; and the grave, representing death and the afterlife. Moultrie's poetry is characterized by its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and spiritual insight, and the collection is considered a significant contribution to Victorian poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
