By John Dunmore Lang

Book Overview

Poems Sacred And Secular: Written Chiefly At Sea is a collection of poetry written by John Dunmore Lang and published in 1873. The poems are divided into two categories: sacred and secular. The sacred poems are inspired by Lang's religious beliefs and include reflections on faith, morality, and the nature of God. The secular poems, on the other hand, are more focused on the experiences of life at sea, including descriptions of storms, sea creatures, and the beauty of the ocean. Lang was a Scottish-born Australian Presbyterian minister who was known for his activism in social and political issues. He was also a prolific writer, publishing numerous books and articles on a variety of topics. Poems Sacred And Secular is one of his lesser-known works, but it offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a man who was deeply religious and deeply connected to the sea. The poems in this collection are written in a variety of styles, including sonnets, ballads, and free verse. Some are very formal and structured, while others are more experimental and free-flowing. Despite their differences, they all share a common theme of exploring the mysteries of life and the universe. Overall, Poems Sacred And Secular: Written Chiefly At Sea is a fascinating collection of poetry that offers insight into the mind of a man who was both a religious leader and a lover of the sea. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
