| Summary | "The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow" by Longfellow is a comprehensive collection of poetry likely compiled in the early 20th century. This extensive volume encompasses all of Longfellow's original verses along with his translations, showcasing his dedication to capturing the essence of human experience, nature, and the profound emotions tied to life and history through various themes and forms of verse. At the start of the collection, a publisher's note sets the tone, indicating that the poems are organized chronologically. The opening poems include contemplative pieces such as "Prelude," "Hymn to the Night," and "A Psalm of Life," each exploring themes of existence, nature's beauty, and the human condition. The reader is introduced to Longfellow’s style, which blends pathos with lyrical beauty, as he reflects on childhood, dreams, mortality, and the spirit of life. The illustrations of peaceful settings and contemplative moments invite readers to pause and engage with deep philosophical inquiries, ultimately setting the stage for the diverse range of poetic works that follow in the collection.
