Publisher's Synopsis
The View of Roses is a book written by Minnie Hannah Peck and first published in 1893. The book is a collection of poems that explore the beauty and complexity of roses. The poems are divided into four sections, each dedicated to a different aspect of the rose: the physical beauty of the flower, the symbolism and mythology surrounding it, the emotions and experiences that it inspires, and the spiritual and philosophical implications of its existence. Peck's writing is characterized by a lyrical and romantic style, with a strong emphasis on imagery and metaphor. She draws on a range of literary and cultural references, from Shakespeare and the Bible to Eastern philosophy and mythology, to explore the many facets of the rose. The View of Roses is a timeless celebration of one of nature's most beloved and enduring symbols, and a testament to the power of poetry to capture and convey the essence of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
