Caelica (1898) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120169334)

Caelica is a collection of 109 sonnets written by the English poet Fulke Greville, published posthumously in 1898. The sonnets are divided into three sections, with the first section exploring themes of love, beauty, and desire. The second section delves into more philosophical themes, such as the nature of existence and the human condition. The final section is more religious in nature, exploring Greville's spiritual beliefs and his relationship with God. The sonnets are written in a traditional structure, with each containing 14 lines and following a strict rhyme scheme. Greville's language is rich and complex, with frequent use of metaphors and allusions to classical literature and mythology. Overall, Caelica is a masterful work of poetry that showcases Greville's skill as a writer and his deep understanding of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
