Wyvil's End: A Poem (1870)

By Henry A. Burette

Book Overview

Wyvil's End is a poem written by Henry A. Burette and published in 1870. The poem tells the story of a man named Wyvil who lives in a secluded and peaceful valley. Wyvil is content with his simple life, surrounded by nature and free from the distractions of modern society. However, his idyllic existence is disrupted when a group of outsiders arrive in the valley, bringing with them the trappings of civilization and the desire for progress. The poem explores the tension between the simplicity of the natural world and the complexities of modern society, as well as the clash between tradition and progress. Through vivid and evocative language, Burette paints a picture of a world on the brink of change, and the struggle of one man to hold onto his way of life in the face of that change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
