Book Reviews of Great Love Poems (Dover Thrift Editions)
Book Review: Some of the most soothing verses ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing more soothing to the soul than a well-constructed love poem. Love is the emotion that binds humans together, taking what is a collection of independent, self-centered creatures and turning it into a bound community of households, families, tribes, nations and a species. This collection of poems by some of the greatest poets of all time is meant for quiet thoughtful times where you can read a couple of sentences, think a bit and then read some more. I often found myself following a mental metronome as I moved through the syllables from rhyming word to rhyming word. Love is an emotion that can lead to violence, possession, jealousy and other negative consequences. However, it can also lead to great gentleness and concern, which are the emotions generated by the contents of this book.
