“Let wealth come in by comely thrift, And not by any sordid shift; 'T is haste Makes waste; Extremes have still their fault. Who gripes too hard the dry and slipp'ry sand, Holds none at all, or little, in his hand.”
Quote by Robert Herrick
Work
This volume presents a collection of writings that examine the relationship between human experience and divine or spiritual subjects. The title draws upon the classical Greek myth of the Hesperides, the nymphs who guarded the golden apples in a mythical garden, evoking imagery of poetic beauty and timeless wonder. The work appears to encompass both secular and sacred themes, weaving together reflections on mortal concerns with explorations of the transcendent or divine. As suggested by the title's phrasing of "works both human and divine," the collection likely contains diverse pieces that address the full spectrum of human emotion and spiritual contemplation, potentially through poetry, prose, or mixed literary forms. more
