The aspects which the strife as a memory assumes are as manifold as are the moods of involuntary meditation-moods variable and at times widely at variance. Yielding instinctively one after another to feelings not inspired from any one source exclusively and unmindful without purposing to be of consistency
After publishing five novels, some of which flourished and others that floundered, Melville turned his pen to poetry. Melville based his Civil War poems on firsthand experience, and rather than glorify battle, he depicts the horrors and the waste of it.

Battle-Pieces And Aspects Of The War
Okay, Melville, I give up. I read about 250 pages of this, enjoying very little of it, but now I have to stop. Your verse is mostly vague, forced, unrhythmic, and overly verbose. It doesn't seem possible that a contemporaneous poetic account of something as epic, tragic and fascinating as the Civil War could be boring, but somehow you managed it. Your fiction - challenging but often rewarding - may not have brought you the fame and fortune you desired during your lifetime, but you should have stuck with it. Because you were certainly not a poet.
