Publisher's Synopsis
Love is one of the most enduring themes of literature, and now the Collector's Library brings you a classic collection of firm favourites, poems half-remembered from our schooldays, and other notable and beautiful verses that have stood the test of time. Love poems speak to every one of us, and this is the perfect anthology to consult as the mood dictates, taking us through centuries of poets experiencing - and articulating - love in a whole host of different ways: from Sappho and Horace through Shakespeare, Donne, Barrett-Browning and Dickinson to Kipling and Yeats. Here is a book to lead us deep into the heart of this most universal - and yet deeply personal - emotion, and a book to dip into time and time again.
