The Grey Brethren And Other Fragments In Prose And Verse

By Michael Fairless

The grey brethren and other fragments in prose and verse is a gentle and reflective collection that weaves together prose and poetry to explore themes of spirituality, nature, innocence, and the quiet depth of everyday experience. The collection opens with the story of a peaceful Quaker life seen through childhood memories, evoking a sense of calm reverence for simplicity and community. As the book unfolds, it shifts gracefully between whimsical fairy tales and contemplative essays, each revealing deeper truths through imaginative storytelling and lyrical expression. Stories such as the dreadful griffin and the story of the tinkle-tinkle enchant with childlike wonder while subtly offering moral insights. Seasonal meditations bring the rhythms of nature into focus, highlighting the beauty in changing skies, blossoming earth, and the reflective stillness of passing time. Throughout, the author's language is marked by tenderness and spiritual introspection, inviting readers to look beyond surface realities and find meaning in quiet moments. This work stands as a meditative journey through the emotional and philosophical landscapes of life, memory, and faith.
