Quote by Kenneth Hare

This volume presents a curated selection of poems composed across a forty-seven year period from 1910 to 1957. The title evokes classical imagery, combining references to mythological water spirits with the flowing symbolism of rivers. The collection draws from works created throughout a significant portion of the twentieth century, reflecting the poetic evolution and thematic concerns that emerged during this era. As a selection rather than a complete works, the volume offers readers a focused gathering of poems that share common environmental and mythological motifs. The date range alone suggests a body of work that would have witnessed considerable historical and cultural transformation, potentially infusing the verses with perspectives shaped by the events of the early to mid-twentieth century. more
