Publisher's Synopsis
The Blushful South and Hippocrene: Being Songs is a collection of poems written by American poet Robert Loveman, first published in 1909. The book contains a total of 40 poems, all of which are written in a lyrical style and deal with themes such as love, nature, and spirituality. The title of the book is a reference to two different sources of inspiration for the poet: the ""blushful"" South, which refers to the region of the United States where Loveman grew up and which he often wrote about in his poetry, and Hippocrene, a mythical fountain on Mount Helicon in Greece that was said to inspire poets. The poems in the collection are characterized by their use of vivid imagery and musical language, and many of them are written in a traditional rhyming scheme. Overall, The Blushful South and Hippocrene: Being Songs is a testament to Loveman's skill as a poet and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around him in his writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
