Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-07 00:00:00 James Smith The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done. ~Francis William Bourdillon This old poetry is not necessarily my cup of tea (throw some Bukowski in there with a cup of whiskey and we're talking) but I still rate this a solid 5. This is poetry in which you will find some of the most famous lines in history. This is poetry, but in a sense, it is a piece of history as well. The book is capped off with some famous historical documents.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-06-03 00:00:00 John Bossman My dad had a 1929 copy of this book. It's pretty sweet. It's got the best of the best inside. Whenever I would consider giving presents to people, this book would usually cross my mind. I've read most of it, but now I'm starting at the beginning and reading it through. EDIT: And now I've finished it. I have a lot of favorites. I love the multi-layered symbolism in "In Flanders Fields." The poppies being red, and an opiate and the fact that they introduce the poem and give it a sense of closure. Kipling's "If" is a masterpiece, as are his other works in here. It's interesting to look at the timing of his personal life for when he wrote "The Gods of the Copybook Headings." "Paul Revere's Ride" "Oh Captain My Captain" "Horatius" was a pleasant suprise. I could never get into that poem before. I really liked it this time around.
