Publisher's Synopsis
The Silent River is a collection of two dramatic poems, Faithful and Forsaken, written by Robert Sulivan and published in 1824. The first poem, Faithful, tells the story of a woman named Julia who is deeply in love with a man named Edward. However, Edward is already engaged to another woman, and Julia is left to suffer in silence as she watches their relationship unfold. As the story progresses, Julia's love for Edward becomes more and more consuming, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion.The second poem, Forsaken, tells the story of a man named Henry who is abandoned by his lover, Eliza.
