The Love Poems of Emma Catherine Embury

By Charles Russell Editor

The magic of her love poetry begins with Emma's ability to put emotions into words. She describes the witchery and the mystery of love with words like "beguiles," "charms," "bliss," "earthly dream," "siren voice," "sacred flame." Often her verse has a metaphysical and philosophical quality. Her love poetry traverses the full range of emotions from intense devotion, to melancholy, to indifference and coldness. Most of her love poems were addressed to her husband so they are filled with such adoration that her friends called them "idolatry.". Some, however, express contrary sentiments; a few even present love as a battlefield and denials of love.
Still others exhibit the Romantic poet's leaning toward melancholy..
