Alchemy: A Symphonic Poem (1920)

By Robert Hillyer

Book Overview

Alchemy: A Symphonic Poem is a book written by Robert Hillyer in 1920. The book is a collection of poems that explores the themes of alchemy and transformation. Hillyer uses the metaphor of alchemy to describe the process of personal growth and transformation. The poems are written in a lyrical and musical style, with each poem representing a movement in a symphony. The book is divided into four sections, each representing a different stage in the alchemical process: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. The poems in each section explore the emotions and experiences associated with that stage, such as darkness and purification in Nigredo, clarity and reflection in Albedo, and illumination and enlightenment in Rubedo. Hillyer's use of alchemy as a metaphor for personal transformation is both imaginative and thought-provoking, making this book a unique and engaging read for anyone interested in poetry, alchemy, or personal growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
