Publisher's Synopsis
Gleanings Of Quiet Hours is a collection of poems and essays written by Priscilla Jane Thompson and published in 1907. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains a series of poems that explore themes of nature, spirituality, and the human experience. The second part of the book consists of essays on a variety of topics, including education, the role of women in society, and the importance of literature. Throughout the book, Thompson's writing is characterized by a contemplative and reflective tone, as she encourages readers to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world around them. Her poetry is often inspired by the natural world, with vivid descriptions of landscapes and the changing seasons. In her essays, Thompson advocates for the importance of education and self-improvement, particularly for women who were often denied access to formal education during her time. She also emphasizes the role of literature in shaping our understanding of the world and our place in it. Overall, Gleanings Of Quiet Hours is a thoughtful and introspective collection of writing that encourages readers to reflect on their own lives and the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
